The Evils of Modern Technology

Met up with a mate after work on Friday for a couple of pints. Nothing new there. Two beers turned into 7, followed by a drunken meander home with a stop off at the chicken shop. Most definitely no news to report on that one.

Imagine my surprise, however, upon logging into Facebook at lunchtime on Saturday to discover that at some point during the course of the evening I had updated my status to read: "Am drunk with a narcissistic, melodramatic arsehole".

Now, all pretentious eloquence aside, I have no idea what prompted me to post that. I'm not even sure if it was about me or my mate (although given the flowery prose I would guess it's definitely more applicable to me than him). I do recall feeling like my mouth was spouting verbal diarrhea at points, as I used words with far too many syllables when a simple "yes" or "no" would have sufficed. I also remember having a minor heated debate about something with said mate, but am as sure as I can be that it was all resolved amicably without too much fuss. I can only guess that I perhaps took a drunken 'time out' fag break in the middle and decided to share my unerring judgement with the world.

I'm a bit of a cock, obviously. It might be time to revert to my basic Nokia to avoid alienating anyone else.

  2. if you could that would be marvelous. I've no idea myself, but have little doubt it was probably undeservedly rude, obnoxious and aggressive, if my usual form after too many beers after work and the contents of my facebook status are anything to go by.
