Vine

I procrastinated a lot when it came to writing this blog post due to the fact that I wasn't sure quite what to say. I think that vines can be funny but I think that the vast majority of them are a swing and a miss. Some people like to look at other people looking stupid but when it is in such an awkward way (at times) it makes it very hard for me to stay tuned. I myself have some such vines on my account wherein I look very awkwardly stupid and I leave them up there to remind myself not to get to prideful. Back to the point, Vine is an underdeveloped art form that usually misses the mark. When I want to waste hours of my time I have better things to do. In order to help illustrate my point I am going to share six things that are better for wasting hours than Vine.

1. Facebook - It helps me to see what my friends and family (those that use Facebook) are up to and it helps me to keep in touch with them. I can also use it to see what is going on in the world, find obscure things that people I know have recently found, and of course entertain myself by passive aggressively friending and un-friending people. Plus, it is a place I can go to complain.
2. Twitter - See Facebook*. (*replace friending with following and emphasize the complaining)
3. Television - Channel surfing and watching TV is a great way to waste a few hours. 
4. Netflix - In the modern era one of the best ways to consume visual media is to see if it is on Netflix. The appropriate response to finding things on Netflix that you would like to watch is to start binge watching those things.
5. Read a book - Although an antiquated activity that few people in my generation seem to do reading a book is an enjoyable pastime that might actually be good for you. If you choose the right book you can be not only entertained, but enthralled, for hours at a time. 
6. Poke someone - This might sound like it is an annoying thing to do but it isn't annoying to the person doing it. If you can keep at it for hours then that is impressive but if not, at least you are being social.
