Is this genuinely a rant against other people's boring SUs( am with you on that, they can be tedious, though it's a little cruel and sad to update your own status to reflect how boring you think theirs is)- followed by a list of 'approved' SUs which are interesting and funny because you decided they are?! Scott Shrake is arrogant and a bit of a prat. Are you serious?

Allow me, however, to advocate for the devil. If our other e-pals didn't bombard us with daily minutia, we wouldn't be able to appreciate the poignancy and magnitude of updates like yours. The mundane establish a homeostasis to rise above. They give us scale and scope, like a coin in a hailstone photograph. Additionally, the juxtaposition of well-crafted musings and TGIF chatter is downright poetic. It's one more reminder that "interesting" is relative and subjective. Now I'm off to fix myself a sandwich and enjoy this rainy Sunday. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… people shouldn’t be allowed to post updates that Scott finds lame nor pictures of people that Scott considers unattractive.

"(Person) is spin-class with myself." Etcetera. There's a nifty FB group entirely devoted to this type of stupidity called "I die a little bit inside when I see grammatically incorrect status updates" and I'm proud to say I'm a card-holding member. There's a section that gathers some of the dumbest status updates ever (?) observed on the 'book, some of which are downright hilarious in their stupidity. And I, too, completely agree with the overusage and highly annoying aspects of "TGIF" (usually followed by about 20 exclamation points), "Only 3 more hours until my baby comes home!", and other such banalities. Personally I think the most interesting updates are the ones the lead to discourse or education of some sort; in fact, one of yours (this was months ago) informed FB that you were having "a Diamanda Galas moment." A number of your friends (including myself) had never heard of her, and you were kind enough to inform us who and what she was, which led me to spend hours of reading about and listening to her. Thanks, Scott!
