Yesterday was my birthday.

By
Yesterday was my birthday. I had plans to spend the morning on a motorcycle ride with my friends, but the (threat of) weather didn't cooperate and we canceled the ride. Because the ride was cancelled I had an entire day I didn't plan for and I did almost nothing for the day.

How bad was it? Even my mom sent me a text message saying they were celebrating my niece's birthday (she's May 6) and therefore she couldn't find the time to call me for mine. A call from my brother who's daughter they were having a birthday party for and a text message from another, leaving 1 brother and two sisters who couldn't be bothered to reach out.

A few other friends reached out to me throughout the day, but yeah ... this might have been my most depressing birthday in a long time.

I'm sure there are plenty of "Please Press This Button to Wish Your Friends a Happy Birthday" messages on FB, but who really goes over there?

Then, later a friend took me to Benihana's, which was nice. I hadn't been in years. Ironically, we sat at the same table as the last time I was there with other friends.

Today ... nothing. I haven't even been outside yet.

So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked

I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
