Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Janine Garofalo commented on Twitter and Facebook et al.
She spoke directly to the audience when she said:
"...you young people are living out loud. All this information you're putting out there in perpetuity, but take it from me, I'm a narcissist believe me, but at least I have the decency to hate myself. Young people, you have no grasp of self-loathing and how to censor the output of what you put out there."
Indeed.
Breakfast of champions.

How very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very well said.
(my verification word was "ingetic")
Yes.
(Though I suspect that I've also been somewhat guilty of the same...)
I look forward to the day when Ms. Garafalo is squashed by a very large mirror.
Marvin:
Now that comment could be interpreted a myriad of ways, but regardless of your meaning I have to say that I snorted out loud with laughter when I read it. Not just a mirror, a "very large mirror."
Good stuff.

I wish I coulda seen that as it happened. I'll youtube it. I've always liked her.
While I get her point and it is very well put, I must disagree with the "you young people" comment. What about us old folks living out loud and sharing our lives with the rest of the world on FB because we think they NEED to know what we are doing and thinking? After all, we have the old age wisdom going for us. Does this mean I'm narcissistic as well? Let me get my "very large mirror" and check.

Hold on. You're watching Jimmy Fallon? On purpose? Was Craig Ferguson a rerun or having a lame guest?
Anyway, getting back on topic: I often think that the only thing that keeps me even remotely tolerable is my vague awareness of how colossally I suck.
That anachronistic attitude must be the reason I only get three readers for my site. But those three get it!
Now let's keep this to ourselves...
