ceebeegeeI can't really post this on Facebook because it'll come off as passive-aggressive. But I have to say--if you don't want to see/read spoilers. STAY THE FUCK OFF SOCIAL MEDIA. It really is that simple. It is exactly what I do during the Olympics--I stay off Facebook, I avoid the news, I take responsibility for my avoidance. I just--a major event happened last night on Game of Thrones and people are posting about it. They're excited, they're horrified, they want to talk about it. Which is basically the point of social media--to enable conversation and connection. Cue a flood of outraged viewers who didn't watch last night and are now bemoaning people talking about it. STAY THE FUCK OFF SOCIAL MEDIA. You don't HAVE to spend hours on Facebook, you know. Avoid being spoiled by not going where people are talking about spoilers! People complaining about spoilers on Facebook is like walking down a hallway, hearing a conversation through a closed door, and then opening the door and telling the people in the room to stop talking. It just annoys the living shit out of me. My friend Dave wrote "The king is dead!" a fairly cryptic comment. Immediately some idiot wrote "If that's a Game of Thrones spoiler...shush! I haven't watched it yet." Fuck you! Why ask for confirmation that it's a spoiler? That MAKES it a spoiler, moron! Which is what I finally wrote back after this person came on again and demanded that everyone "stop talking about spoilers!!!!!"
No, this wasn't directed at me since (because I hate dealing with that type of people) I wrote my status update so carefully, you had to have watched the episode *and* known that I'm a G of T fan to have understood what I was talking about . (I didn't even identify the show!) But that sort of camp-counselor bullshit just winds me up.
ANYWAY. The weekend was good. My Dolphman team had a game Friday and we won handily, 3-0. I scored the last goal, right between the goalie's legs :) It was a great game, we played very well. Afterward at the bar one of the other players in the league was doing pushups on the floor--he got to about 30. then Brian, one of my teammates, did his own set but he was doing extreme pushups--tiger pushups, one-handed, etc. He did about 25. Then I started and I did over 50--54, I think, but the crowd had stopped counting at that point. Afterward one of the guys leaned over and said my new nickname would be "Fi'tty Pushups" which made me laugh :)
