You Know


You know, you're asleep, or tired, when you misread something, and do a double take and see what's actually there.

So, I'm looking at the advertisement to my right hand side of Facebook. I see where it says "Nannies from Heaven." Of course though I read it as "Names from Heaven" and I'm like huh, what kind of names would fall under heaven?


Who would be the one to authorize or say that? Is that their personal opinion or some actual fact? Yeah, then I just blinked and saw that it really read as "Nannies from Heaven." even though this is also strange and weird.


I've seen some strange ads here, like this other one, buy 1 and get 1 free. You're thinking oh cool, what are they selling? You scroll down and they're selling yoga lessons. Oh so you buy a lesson and get one lesson free. Hmm.

Or how about the "lose weight" ads, how many times do we see that? Do people even have a choice whether or not they want to see or not see those ads? Or how about any ads for that matter?

I know it's Face book and that comes with the site and if we don't like the ads we can join elsewhere. But, still. It's like your rights are being violated, monitored and all by these ads that is totally messing up your computer.

It's bad enough that we walk around our neighborhood and see the billboard signs and advertisements and in the magazines on how our "society" should be like, and the "ideal man and woman" and "perfect body" and all that crap stuff, so I guess it's reasonable enough for them to do it here right? It's expected?

It's needed, because if we aren't going to see it offline because we're lazing around then we may as well get it here?I don't know, if we ever have a chance in the future to have the option not to have these ads I'd vote them to take it out and just let us fix our face book however we want to.

I don't know about the "NEW" facebook look yet, I was so use to the old one that this new one will take time. I also wish there was another way to treat this as if it was a book.

So your profile, your info is the cover page. The next page if you click on it will take you to your walls, fun walls, super walls and regular walls then the next will take you to your friends list, groups, and what nots and last but not least another page just for all the applications you have or games and all that.It'll be all looking like a book or even a newsletter and you have that option to choose it that way, in your own colors for the background and text and all.Yeah, that's a hope.
