Do you use hashtags in your facebook status updates?
Do you use lol with every single thing that you post, respond to, or email?
Are all of your photos self-portraits taken at arm's length of you making the same face over and over again with your device of choice?
Are all of your social moments documented on a social media site, even though you're not a celebrity?
How often do you use the word meme?
Do you share bits of wisdom or inspiration that make you feel strong, sensitive, or someone not to be trifled with?
Ok, I was just wondering.
If I were to create a mission statement for Facebook, it would revolve around the basic principles of making others feel like their lives are deficient, seeming thinner and more interesting than in real life, and promoting funny pictures of Grumpy Cat. I'm glad that game where you name things in a category missing the letter 'A' is over. What is this, Chinese Wheel of Fortune? Personally, I use Facebook for self-aggrandizement. Like most loud-mouths, my basic goal in life is to force my opinion on others.
My new book, Eat Pray Go Fuck Yourself, is about the idea that travel in foreign lands to find yourself, thus ending up in an ashram where you achieve spiritual enlightenment and have sex with Javier Bardem is a myth. I want to take a shotgun to that myth. Would you buy it?
