The joys of being "read-only" on social media.

So I'm sure you're wondering what being in "Facebook State Penitentiary" is like.  I suspect that you have the image of being forbidden from accessing the site with a big blue screen and that little "f" with a stern admonition that I am forbidden for 30 days.

Not exactly lying on a bunk in an 8X8 gray-green cell lying on a wooden plank and pecking the walls image, but it'll do I suppose. 

In reality I am in the realm of "read only", which essentially means if I attempt to post,  comment or like it is immediately yanked and I get a pop up notice that I can't post.  Yes, I've tried.  Hell, you never know when the participation trophy winning ubernerds at Facebook might be asleep at the switch.

As my time moves toward my eventual parole date..."nine days and a wake up" as of today...observing behavior that is allowed to stand unchecked (and unpunished) really amazes me. 

We live in hilarious times, my friends and the one thing that strikes me is how the same thing that booted me into the stony lonesome is offensive to some, and not to others.

I guess that's the alleged allure of social media in the endgame.  That said I do not plan to change very much when I'm reinstated.  I will throttle a few things back but I am not going to change who I am.  Piss on Zuckerberg and the kids who got picked last.  Grasp the concept of fairness and decency FOR EVERYONE and then we'll talk.

Time to make a peanut butter, cheese whiz and raven noodle pizza.

Be easy, playah.

T-10 days and counting: Letters from the Facebook prison...

In 10 days I will be paroled from Facebook prison.

Or...In deference to those I used to have under my care that found themselves incarcerated for varying degrees of criminal activity,  I have "nine days and a wake up" before I'm returned to my regular civilian status in the national crack house. 

(Thanks to Heather Gardner for that Facebook description)

I can't say I've missed it all that much I have to tell you.   Oh, recent developments on the local and national levels have had me wanting to post but by and large the "time out"has been a wonderful cleanse of mind and spirit that I highly recommend.

I dare say might just have learned something, God help me. 

It defies reason how incredibly stupid this country is these days.  I'm talking stupidity that causes one's left and right eyes to turn inward to the point that they clearly view one another in the skull.  It's THAT intense.

There is a time and place for my musings on that friends. I got yard time later. 

Be easy, yo...
