Its monday, I have had the new Madonna song stuck in my head on repeat now for about 48 hours, I think its great but its starting to get a little tiresome now....love the video though, seriously JT can dance, I could watch him for hours without getting bored.

Just over 4 weeks til I go to australia, cant wait. Have sorted all the basics now, visa, new passport, insurance etc, even bought some Aussie dollars. I really feel like I need to escape from all the shite.

Ive realised what a complete unhealthy pile of bollocks Facebook really is, I wish that culture would just hurry up and unleash the next big thing on us so we can all sign up like sheep and move away from it. Its like the worst kind of fake, popularity contest in the world. It forces you to bother getting in contact with people you havent spoken to since school (without acknowledging that there is probably a very good reason for that), some people seem to take the opportunity to upload photos of their every waking moment (like im really interested in seeing a photo from every saturday night since time began of the same 5/6 people in the same place doing the same thing just with different clothes on). 

Then there are the applications....you cant log in without navigating at least 15 requests to find out your stripper name/80s song/simpsons character or to respond to being 'bitten' by a werewolf, vampire, zombie, sent a virtual drink, duck a virtual custard pie etc etc etc.....is our workforce really so infatuated with this shite that the first thing they must do on getting into work in a morning is send a virtual round of tequila slammers to their equally office bound mates before answering that burning question of which member of kiss they would be, you know, if they had actually been in kiss and werent just pushing paper, working for the man and pretending they have a rock and roll lifestyle? No wonder this country is going downhill.

Also irritating is the newsfeed, there are some people in my life who I would rather not hear about, who if I had the balls to I would remove from my list of friends so as to prevent the accidental ruining of my day by being informed that they have just 'spanked' someone else. I think maybe the long and short of it is I need to remove my profile from these spawn of satan sites and just bear in mind that the real people in my life, the ones that matter, actually have my real life email address and mobile number, contact me because they actually have a reason to or something interesting to say and make the effort to be a real flesh and blood friend.

I think the definition of the word friend is getting very diluted. To my mind a friend is someone who cares enough to keep in touch and puts in as much as they get out, they actually exist to you as a person and you think of them in real terms, when you need them they really are there and they arent just there for the good times. A friend is not a number on a profile or a name on a list of people you have encountered through your life, a friend does not write happy birthday on your wall (because they sent you a card), a friend has seen you physically (or spoke to you properly offline) at least once in the last 6 months.

I have so many good, honest friends in my life I dont think I need all the fake ones. Maybe its time for a change.
