SocialCam is Making the Facebook Experience Extremely Awk.

This is what we're doing now Facebook? Alerting me to all of my "friends" disgusting video viewing habits in my feed? 

Gross, and extremely awkward. I know I've complained in the past but I'll take a lifetime of instagrammed photos of peoples dinner, baby photos, and engagement announcements over one more of my friends watching some ridiculous pimple popping video. 

I mean yea, I went and checked it out after, but I wish I hadn't. And frankly, if I didn't have people in my feed apparently watching pimple videos left and right, I would have never known these existed. My stomach is literally churning right now. I feel like throwing up thinking about what I just watched, but its not like I'm not going to go check it out. And I for sure feel a little weirder about these "friends" who are sharing the fact that they're watching pimple popping video with their hundreds of contacts. That's just fucked. Yes I watched it, but no I didn't advertise the fact that in my spare time I voluntarily watch videos of disgusting ogers having prehistoric pimples medically popped. That's just not proper decorum. You watch that stuff on your own time and then you pretend it never happened. Maybe you show the video to your fiancee so you don't feel alone in the horror of what you just saw. But you most certainly do not alert the masses.

PS: I'm not going to put you guys through it but if you're morbidly curious, youtube "OMG Pimple" or "best pimple pop ever." These videos have literally been blowing up my feed lately.

Celtics vs. Heat Game 5 Wrap Up: Good Job, Good Effort

Sums it up, right?  

You guys all watched the game, there's not to much to talk about here. One team had a game plan, one team showed up looking like they were looking for some run on an open court at Basketball City. Albeit a very talented open court, but open court all the same. 

The usual story lines, knocking Lebron or D-Wade for a subpar effort weren't there last night, both played some excellent basketball for stretches and both had solid over all games. Problem was, they went back to the alternating possessions style of basketball that just isn't going to work against a smart defensive team. The benefit of having two of the top five or so players in the world is all but negated if they're going to take turns playing iso-ball while the other one stands in a corner or on the weakside block. Doesn't take much to guard a stationary target, you know?

And that goes right to the coaching. I don't think I'm as hard on Coach Olestra as others, but I think, at this point, it's warranted. Doc has coached circles around him this series. Where Doc has a beautiful set play out of a timeout, Olestra has a pick for Dwayne or Lebron and a bunch of free styling. Where Doc has defensive plans to slow and confuse the Heat, Olestra has watched Boston dump the ball deep to KG for three and a half straight games now, and done nothing about it. (Don't even ask, what is he supposed to do? It's easy. You front. You front KG and you pressure the ball. Miami is doing the exact opposite. They are not fronting and they are sagging off Rondo. A recipe for disaster when you're giving up size inside). 

Just look at the Celtics defensive schemes in the 3rd and 4th quarter. At one point they were seamlessly changing from zone to man-to-man every other minute. I don't care how talented an offensive player you are, that is going to disrupt your flow, and it did. First time the Celts won a third quarter this series as far as I can remember. 

And where was Lebron? The guy didn't have a single shot from 7:30 left in the 4th until 10 seconds left. That's inexcusable...and I'm talking again about Coach Olestra here. Call a goddamn timeout and run a set piece for Lebron. You know he's reluctant in close games late, it's your job to get him involved. You have literally the best player on earth on your roster and you can't find a way for him to get an easy bucket out of a timeout? For real? And you're an NBA coach you say? I don't buy it. 

The Heat lost last night for the same, but opposite reasons the Celtics won. Coaching, effort, and urgency. 

Game 6 Thursday, bring it home boys.

WOOPS

When Pierce Is Playing Hoops...(Michael Scott Reference Coming)

Girls are just Relentlessly Dominating Facebook these Days

Seriously, should we just get a Facebook just for girls? Is that what Pinterest is supposed to be? I mean are you kidding me here? Announcing that you bought a couple of pairs of pants elicited 12 likes. 12! It makes girls look like social networking geniuses, when it couldnt be further from the truth. The only way a guy can top 12 likes is by having a birthday, getting engaged, or graduating from highschool/college/grad school. That's it. 

But girls, apparently buying yoga pants is a congratulatory event, just like I'm sure having their first latte mochiato of the day, and taking pictures of the nights dinner elicit the same responses. Its insane. 

It's an army of girls marching around, smarthphone in hand, "liking"  every and any status they see, just boosting Klout scores left and right. You know the ones I'm talking about. The girl marching down the sidewalk, gigantic purse hanging from her arm but inexplicably carrying her phone in her hand, just waiting for one of her friends to post some passive aggressive rant towards no one in particular but everyone totally knows who its about...this girl:
