So, I know I've said this before, but here are the newest, and probably best, examples of the common era. All of these are copy and pasted as I got them.
How to ask for help over email:
1. Hello everyone,

2. Hey guys, I was unable to make it to class yesterday due to the flu, could any one be so kind and send me the chapter 8 powerpoint. it would be so nice of you. thank you.
How not to ask for help over email:
COULD NEONE SEND ME CH 8 NOTES?

Every time I reread that one, I actually laugh out loud, because it's just so hilariously shitty.

Sharing is Caring
Facebook and Twitter are the best know social networking sites out there, not counting Myspace. But what is their function? Facebook boasts that they help people get back together after years of disconnection, whether it be by joining the military, going off to college, or that time you shot their brother and then used the body as a puppet so that no one would know the difference.
Twitter is... What the hell is Twitter for? Before I started using it, I always said that it was for people who wanted have a Facebook where all you could do is update your status every 5 minutes. Yes, there are some people who use it for that, but I got an account a while back because of a follower contest for Goblins. Since then, I've realized a thing or two about these social networking websites.
Some of my friends make fun of me because I'm always posting links to videos and Cracked articles on Facebook, specifically to my girlfriend's wall for the most part. But the thing is, it all shows up to mini-feed. If you like that sort of thing, that's awesome, because that means you're getting all types of cool articles and information. From there, maybe you send the link along yourself, or maybe it gets you into a new website you've never heard of before. If you don't like it, hide me, whatever. There is so much information and knowledge out that there you may never see, and I like to think I'm helping you experience at least some of it.
Twitter on the other hand, really is Facebook without all the bells and whistles. And you know what? I love it. I have found so many new webcomics, music, videos, games, awesome tee shirt sites, and articles, from science to deaths in the comic industry. Now, you do get a ton of people who are like, "LOL ate a sandwich", and "Just saw Justin Beiber live, why don't I have any friends?" but I don't follow those people. In my next post, titled Feeding You in 140 Characters or Less (link coming in about an hour), I will explain who these fabulous non-annoying people are.
Between these two websites you have to realize something, iff'n you like, and that is these aren't just for catching up with that buddy you haven't seen in three years. They're for networking. Creating networks of information that are sent all over the world in barely a second. I'm sharing knowledge with you, whether it's a baby monkey on the back of a pig or the history of Pixar by movie.
Holy cow, isn't that what the internet was made for?!

Facebook Official
You probably have a facebook since at this point almost everyone has a facebook, and if they don't, there's a "Like" page about them. What ever happened to groups? Ah, those were the days.
Anyway, I was thinking about the "relationship" status thing on facebook, since I just had my one year anniversary and I remember taking a nap out of sickness last year and waking up to a thousand notifications for every "Like" and comment about the new relationship.
The trouble with it is the breakup. Now to all of you who know me, no, I'm not plotting anything, I just got to thinking about the awkwardness. Normally (see: pre-facebook) when you break up or get dumped, you call all your close friends, and you either get plastered, pity fucked, ice cream filled, hella sad, or all however many I listed. Nowadays if you get dumped, the other person changes his or her relationship status to single, and you're left with it awkwardly saying that you're "in a relationship" in grey, like it was your birthday (there's some sort of reference here, but I don't know what. In any case, it's a technical pun). And that's fucking sad. Not only is it sad, it's like when you're an adult and they've moved out and you still have a cardboard box with that hardhat they gave you that time you had sex at the abandoned factory and got tetanus.
It's the last remaining thread of the relationship. You can't leave it there, because then it seems like you're desperate or have false hopes about getting back together. And even if you get rid of it right away, it still brings all of the "pity comments" to both parties. All those friends you share will want to know what happened on both walls and all of that will show up in your feed. You don't even get 100% "sorrys" or "what happened?"'s. You get a bunch of awkward immature people who think that you'll know they care if they post a frowny face.
If you're reeeally lucky, they might just throw in an apostrophe for your troubles.

| if that doesn't scream "fuck me" then it explains Valentine's Day a lot. |

| I know you're experiencing an emotional loss, but I thought a colon, dash, and open parenthesis would fill that void in your chest. |

| For the person who feels like they have nothing right now, I summarized "I Will Fight No More Forever" with symbols for you. Cheer the goddamn fuck up. |
