My Facebook Status Updates for 2009
Okay, I’m being Mr. Original here. I was reading the Borowitz Report in which political satirist (I think I’m safe to call him that) Andy Borowitz was forecasting his Facebook Status Updates for 2009. You can read them for yourself at: http://www.borowitzreport.com/article.aspx?ID=6975
That got me to thinking that might make for a good blog entry for yours truly. Now, most of Borowitz’s updates were politically minded, save for his predictions of the demise of the Tonight Show. Since the most I really know about politics is what my buddy Stevie, or more seriously, what my friend Kelly tells me, I’m thinking that most of my Facebook status updates will be from a wider range of topics (although anyone who’s been here before can probably guess what they are.)
And so, here without further adieu are my predicted Facebook Statuses…Stati???...whatever, for 2009.
John is wondering about having a joint 40th birthday/Jack’s 1st birthday party. Is six months long enough for people to get their excuses for not showing in?
John is breaking in his new laptop. New technology is fun.
John is kiddin’ his Dad over how Tony Stewart finally won Daytona.
John wonders what Wrestlemania XXVI will be like with no Undertaker streak to talk about. (Sorry, but I was cheering for Shawn Michaels the whole time.)
John wonders if he did a good but not great action movie and then OD’d if he’d get an Oscar, too.
John can now reveal that U.S. President Barack Obama visited GDLS-C this morning and I got to shake his hand.
John is sad that Corner Gas has ended…but loved the finale.
John can’t believe that’s how the Office season finale ended. Can’t Pam and Jim just be happy for once? It’s a comedy, not a romantic drama.
John can’t believe Canada has called another election. Is this going to be a yearly thing now?
John just turned 40. If anyone needs me, I’ll be sitting here with a gun in my mouth.
John needs people to know he was kidding about the whole "gun in my mouth thing".
John joins the rock world in mourning the death of Keith Richards…about 15 years after he expected it to happen.
John is intrigued to note his friend’s list just topped 200. Do I actually know 200 people?
John is having an Office marathon to prepare for the Season 6 season premiere.
John can’t believe it’s a Brewers – Twins World Series.
John is heading to Best Buy to get the China Beach DVD.
John wants everyone to go to their local book store and grab a copy of his book.
