Do You? Do you Facebook?

Do you?
Do you use Facebook?

Be honest.

Do you post, do you chat and
do you share?
Or shall I say do you over-share?

Well, do you?

OK, I’ll be honest, I try to use Facebook. I really do, but it is often just not worth the energy. Not that it is hard to use in a technical sense. It is the social aspect on so many levels that is energy-sucking. The superficiality, the ignorance, the seemingly perfect, happy lives portrayed and displayed for all to see, especially when you know the opposite is true. And don’t get me started on the constant pictures of people’s meals.

However this is not meant as a rant, but rather a question. If you Facebook you might be familiar with a guy named Bill. Not your cousin Bill nor your ex named Bill or your old coworker named Bill who you remain friends with on Facebook although you two haven't spokenin person in years; and not even your old Spanish teacher from college named Bill (who always happens to creepishly "like" all your selfies). No this is not one of your 250 plus "friends". Rather, I am talking about this stick figure guy who, along with his very judgmental crew, have been described as the passive-aggressive P.S.A. spokesperson for bad social media/life etiquette.

Here are a few examples, using my friends’ names and Bill's friend as the stand in. Amazingly they all seem rather accurate (or is that counter-accurate)?:

And a personal favorite:

 

And yes in case you are wondering, coincidentally,
I honestly do have multiple friends all named Ashlee
(There is: Ashlee, Ashley, Ashley and Ashleigh).

If you are not familiar with and want to learn more about Bill and his very judgmental crew there is a good brief article about them here.

In simple terms it is just another internet meme and the premise is that you enter your name and behold the amazing results. Somehow "magically" it knows your personality and creates the perfect meme all about you!

Spoiler - you can keep trying until you get one you like. You can go to the official meme creator found here or simply just wait until it shows up on your Facebook feed (if it hasn't already).

Of course I tried it and I have to admit that it seemed to get this one about me right:

Oh in case you are new here and don’t know me,
and/or didn’t recognize the players right away,
that “football” reference is to soccer.

And then there is this accurate and good advise for the gentlemen out there:

All this had me thinking, if I could create my own “Be like…” advice meme, what would it say about me and my world.

I came up with this:

All this leads me to my question of the day.

If you could write your own “Be like…” advice meme, what would yours be?
Come on don't be shy.
Remember Facebook was not made for the shy,
nor the humble.

Oh, and what does that first selfie picture in this post have to do with anything, you ask? Well that is my guilty pleasure. As much as the selfie-habit can be annoying on so many levels, there are times I can just sit back and scroll...looking at picture after picture, after glorious semi-naked picture; enjoying the endless views.
