instant

This post is just a quick note to ramble a little and make everyone aware of a new FaceBook feature, Instant Personalization.

Bit of irony, some 30 years ago John Lennon wrote and recorded Instant Karma



Mark Zuckerburg's facebook got hacked, would you still go to a bank where the presidents account got compromised? If it was the only bank in town, maybe, but i'd probably just hide all my cash under the mattress.

Fetlife would be that mattress. It's a facebook for adults, post pics, talk in group and communicate with your internet and RL friends. All the satisfaction of making and receiving comments and expressing yourself in little ways, but no billion dollar industry behind it.

You've been hooked, you've been crooked, you've been lied to so many times that you're suspicious, mind you, and when the right thing comes along you don't believe it. When I'm here knocking at the front door, you're at the back door looking for four leaf clovers, and when you find it, you think someone playing you dirty fool. Whats the angle? You look for an excuse. In this modern day and age, we have instant coffee, instant tea, instant disbelief. That's the reason we never become anything. It's because we will never believe in ourselves. We'll always listen to the mass majority. If everybody's making fun of you and criticizing, you know you're on the right track, something most of the people aint got..."
