Dude i hate facebook

I say this cause it happened again last night...the first photo is part of last night

Its not a big deal but i got people there who give me work, i got ex girlfriends ( who i dont want them to see), i got musiceans and organisers who think i am serious..many of this are innocent...and just friends but some people dont know that...

All of my friends carry cameras just for facebook.all of our drunk moments, the sleazy moments..the drunken make out moments with women ( u cant see those )

, all of the embarrasing moments are up there on one of my friends photos and theres nothing u can do about it, photos always seem like a good idea at the time...but i am drunk...u cant untag yourself cause its antisocial, u cant say anything cause u sound like a d*ck and i got all kind of friends there, flamenco friends, professional friends...dont get me wrong i dont mind the ones where i look good

is just the ones that mess with my chances lol ( the unphotoshoped ones and unflattering ones, the ones that make me look like a raving lunatic, in context they are fine on monday morning not so fine ) ...cause all my other friends see them ..facebook also makes it very dificult to lie about what u did last night when someone asked you to reherse but u said u were sick and all you can do is stay home and rest...the second somene uploads a photo of you and tags u , everyone on your facebook buddies can see the date and what u did last night and it shows up on your main page..etc...

SO if you untagyourself does the person who posted it get informed ?

can we do a test ..? can i tag someone from here whos on my buddies list there and they remove the tag and I wanna see if i get any mesages or emails...

this are some embarrasing drunken ones but also it gets much worst

not to mention the embarrasement of getting busted looking at your friends girlfriends top, i swear that was for 1 second and the only time i accidentaly looked...passingly...not sleazy just curious

Oh also.... as much as i hate it ...if you get in between me and the camera il stab you

p.s. it seems like you don't open your eyes.

maybe that's why you keep losing your equilibrium!

I wouldn't worry about it man.
Nothing really embarassing there at all except you look fairly p1ssed, but so does everybody else.
It's only when you start dropping your pants and stuff....You didn't do that Flo?....Tell me you didn't do THAT!

cheers,

Ron

That was a different administration, Ron

In fact, Florian, if you were in, or running for, Office, I would seriously worry about the lively pics, but for all other intents and purposes, they simply show you are fun and having some.

Perhpas some stay-home-eating-weat-thins-and-watching-TV-shows losers like me, may even experience a dash of healthy envy...
cheers.

Dont worry man.. The pictures arent bad. Dont forget.... it was a party.. Its normal to look like this when it gets late. And to check out some chicks....makes you even more sympatic to me.

Anyway.. thanks for "shareing" haha

Very good party shots. Don't worry, it shows you are a true flamenco. Mostly its difficult not to get drunk party photos. I dont think it will harm your flamenco reputation at all. Maybe we could get a thread of famous drunk flamenco photos. Here is a good one of me playing guitar at christmas

Flo I totally know what you mean.

Facebook is horrid! sure its fun to catch up with friends etc but when did everyone suddenly turn into a paperazzis! Some nights I get home and I havent even gone to bed and someones posted pics from that very same night out!!! ridiculous.
whatever happened to just remembering moments and savouring them. are our lives soooooo important we feel the need to document every frame. one day in the future our brains will be computers that have lenses that record and save everything we've ever seen............... Hang on,,...they already are!!! we just forgot how to use them!!

anyway rant over. those pics aren't too bad, muy flamenco!

Hey pimientito, while I really like your pic it doesn't really fall into the same category as flos does it?. I mean youre still manageing to play or at least hold the guitar, and that wine bottle looks full!!

Wait--somebody please bring me up to speed. So you (i.e. Florian, for instance) can just untag yourself in FB pics-- without being "antisocial" or "sounding like a d*ick"?

After long (i.e. very long) resistance, I finally caved to the FB beast (as in last night). Wary, I am though still.
