Nobody cares about your baby except you, trust me. Speaking of profile pictures, you should only be able to update it once a month tops, and that's even stretching it. I've only used 6 pictures ever, one for each year I've been on Facebook. I understand you think it's a great pic of you with your besties at some sorority sister's wedding. You've sucked in your stomach perfectly and managed to hide your second chin, but your real friends still know you're overweight, and that's all that matters. Also, if you know me through my mom, I don't want to be friends with you so stop asking. Stop using pictures of your baby as your profile picture. Nobody cares about your baby except you, trust me.

There is no point to passively bragging or trying to sneak it in there. IE, (and this is a actual occurance) if you just bought a big stupid Hummer H2 and want the world to know, DO NOT write "Joe Blow... is playing around with his new car's stereo, Anyone familiar with the workings of the Hummer H2's audio set up?" Just come out and say it, "Joe Blow..is the proud owner of a Hummer H2!". Its actually less obnoxious that way. And i if i were you i would throw some self deprecation in there just to cover your back and seem like less of a tool, ie "Joe Blow....just bought a hummer, what was i thinking? so much for making rent." -Can we just go ahead and retire that pose girls do where they hold up two fingers and make that weird puckered, kissy face? -There is an inversely proportional relationship between how cool a person is and how many pictures they have taken of themselves and then posted -If you decide that for some reason you are going to brag, just do it blatantly and shamelessly.
