Some Facebook Fails

When you’re on Facebook, you can never be too careful. You can never know who’s going to be checking out your status or watching what you do.  Now most of us, change our privacy settings or know not to put things in our status that we done want others to see, others however, don’t pay enough attention. Check out what happens when you share your life on Facebook for the world to see.

The below fails, and many other like them, can be found throughout numerous places on the web.  Or maybe even your buddies page.  For your convenience though, I’ve gone through many of them and put together some hysterical facebook fails.

The Art of a Story

There are all kinds of blogs, and many definitions for the different types of blogs. The definition for me of a personal blog is one that tells a story, a personal story. It doesn’t matter how the story is told, by words, pictures, video, cartoons, artwork, audio, or combination of all of them. Storytelling defines a personal blog as personal.

A personal blog helps the blogger tell their story, be it the story of their life or of a moment in time. It can be a rant about how X company pissed them off, or how they figured out how to successfully plant a rose bush this year. It can be a collection of random gossip about fellow students or co-workers, or an insightful collection of essays on food and cooking.

Personal blog is about sharing personal stories with readers – readers that might be family, friends, or strangers.  It’s also about focusing on the story, not the commercialism and monetization.  The site may or may not have ads, but the blogger isn’t obsessed about his or her stats, clickthroughs, and such.
It’s about being personal, not distant, with the reader. It’s about sharing. It’s about the story.

Blogging is a commitment. When you aren’t blogging for bucks, it’s also a discipline. You have to feed your blog. If you keep feeding it, it’s amazing what you learn about yourself, isn’t it?

Epic Meal Time

In each weekly episode, they set out to prepare and eat what they call epic food; the "world's greatest sandwich," for instance, made from nine bacon slices, three hot dogs, chips, cheese, gravy, a dozen eggs and maple syrup, all on a large french baguette.  Then there's the Thanksgiving feast that took the extravagance of a turducken so many steps further.  They prepared a "bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a bird in a pig.  All of their videos have become viral and are all entertaining. 

Why do the good ones always have to go?

Notorious Big, dead.  Tupac, Dead.  Anna Nicole Smith, just kidding.  In all seriousness when I heard that one of my favorite comedians of all time passed away last September I was pretty shocked.  Greg Giraldo, who was most famous for his savage bestial presence on Comedy Centrals 'The Roast', died of a drug overdose earlier this year.

I think it's pretty fucked up that some people in this world don't get near enough credit as they deserve.  I recently posted an article on the bed intruder character.  A guy who fell into fame, literally.  And then we have people like Greg Giraldo.  One of the most hilarious, witty, in your face type of guys who will most likely be forgotten in the next few years.  Many people don't know that Greg graduated from Harvard Law but never began his own practice after he decided to tackle life as a comedian.  I think one of the main reasons why I liked Greg Giraldo so much was because of his style.  The dude was never afraid to step an peoples toes.  His punchlines rang out like a cash register at Wal-mart.  And just as you thought you could never hear a funnier line he'd come back with another that topped the last.  Lastly I liked Greg because he had the balls to say things that the average person would only think about.

A.V.I.U.S - Same Ol' Line f. Evidence & Fashawn

With the culture of hip hop, comes the making of Legends, the creators of a past-time, and the ones some would even consider inspirations. A year ago on April 19th, a Legend of the Hip Hop Culture passed and left some of us with only a portrait in our memory of what used to be. Today, A.V.I.U.S. of Prime Element is releasing yet another single off of his highly anticipated EP,For Better or Worse in memory of the Legend himself Guru, of the group Gang Starr. The songSame Ol’ Line features one Emcee who will one day be a Legend himself, Fashawn (XXL freshman class of 2010) and another in Evidence who with Dilated Peoples have already been considered one of the best Hip Hop groups of all-time. With this single, which was produced by Es Nine, A.V.I.U.S. proves that trends are just that, and the key to success is hard work and a straight and narrow path towards whatever achievements you may garner.

Armadillo

Film makers follow a group of Danish soldiers through a tour of duty in Helmand Province in Afghanistan, has a lot in common with “Restrepo.” Each film is named for a Forward Operating Base, and each one focuses on the daily grind of the men who fight there.  For anyone who reads this blog, GO WATCH RESTREPO, it will change the way you view the war in the far East as well as our soldiers who are fighting for us day in and day out.

In spite of the language barrier, the young Danes in “Armadillo” will look familiar to American viewers. Their habits, tastes and attitudes are pretty much the standard equipment of the modern Western male, with some local and individual variations. They like first-person-shooter video games, tattoos, Internet pornography and heavy metal. They communicate with one another through horseplay, teasing and occasional expressions of love, and they regard their work as an ordeal, a noble cause, an existential nightmare and a source of pleasure.

I was able to find this film in it's entirety over the internet and suggest that everyone watches it.  Another awesome film.

'Bed Intruder' Internet star arrested in Alabama

(CNN) -- Antoine "Bed Intruder" Dodson, the man whose TV news rant against a would-be rapist became a viral music video and his ticket to celebrity, was arrested for marijuana possession, according to Alabama authorities.

Judging by his tweets, Dodson, 24, isn't all that upset about it.

"Let me be the first to tell it!!" So just got out of jail off a weak charge!!!," Dodson said in a Saturday afternoon tweet. "Got pulled over in my Benz and they got me ... I never been in jail except that time in grade school."

Dodson used an Internet acronym, part of which typically means, "rolling on the ... floor" laughing.

How did this make it on CNN?  Is this really newsworthy?  I could just imagine the CNN team sitting down the night before they put together the articles to post.  Killer tornados, check.  Massive flooding, check.  Texas wildfires, check.  Bed Intruder arrested, check.  Jesssssssus.  Did he say he drives a Benz?  

p.s

Why does blogger suck so bad?  The formatting on this is awful.
