So the other day I’m up on the top floor of one of those swank high-rises on Michigan Ave., just looking at the view. I notice that on the very top of each of the buildings below me is a comparatively small American flag. But the wind as that point is so strong that the flags can’t wave. They’re being shredded by the wind. They’re fighting against themselves and then wrapping tightly around their poles. 
There’s an apartment building across the street and as I look into it I notice a man sitting by his computer just looking out at the view too. But then he stands up and I notice that his hands are underneath his boxers and performing a motion that, even from far away, I’m able to recognize. 
He performs the motion casually, lazily. Hypnotized by the buildings, by the cold October air or by the simple rote of this ancient motion, his hand pumps up, down, up, down, up while the sky sets behind him. 
He starts to pull his pants up and tuck in his shirt when suddenly he notices me. There is a pause as his eyes catch mine. Another pause, and then he slowly unbuttons his pants again with a deliberate hand, slips his hand back under his boxers and performs the motion again. 
I’m shocked, yet still staring. He leaves, but he comes right back and now he’s not wearing pants. I can’t make out his face at all, and I hope to God he can’t make out mine, but he’s really going at it now – he’s pressed up to the window and jacking off. 
I am looking at him intently, but when I sort of back up and I see the entire building, with all the little boxes lit like some insane cage with flickering blue lights. Behind that cage is the shadow of other cages and the horizon is pink and melting into blue with creamy clouds and the sun is one big burning nipple in the sky… and within all of this, the two of us are locked into each other. 
He starts motioning to me and then motioning to his cock – like I should start going at it too. I shake my head slightly and try to casually walk away, but I can’t because I’m entranced by this picture. He sees my reticence and now he really wants me to join him – he points at my hand and then at my crotch, while furiously pumping with his other hand, but I’m not about to. I turn on my heel to leave, but look over my shoulder one last time. And that’s when I see it. 
The faint outline of a man, in a bright box 50 stories above a concrete street, jacking off. Above rooms and rooms of other men who probably couldn’t afford this view. Some businessman or doctor, who I’ve probably waited on, going at it. One manicured hand is pumping and the other is pressed against the window of his $500,000 studio. Alone, bringing himself to a climax and ordering some girl whose face he’s never seen to get off on it too, and I’m thinking…

Among those who suffered the effects of war was a young Polish girl named Teresa, who lost lost her entire family during WWII. While staying in a concentration camp, she drew an unrecognizable image of chaos on the blackboard. When asked what her drawing was of, she replied “Home”. =-=-= 
September 4, 1957. Dorthy Counts, one of the first black students to enter the newly desegregated Harry Harding High School walks to class. Reporters and photographers bore witness and recorded the violence that erupted when she showed up for her first day at the formerly all-white school. People threw rocks and screamed, “Go back where you came from”. Four days later, after a string of abuses, Dorthy’s family withdrew her from the school. =-=-= 
On 15 August 1961 he found himself, aged 19, guarding the Berlin Wall, then in its third day of construction, at the corner of Ruppinerstrae and Bernauerstrae. At that stage of construction, the Berlin Wall was only a low barbed wire fence. As the people on the Western side shouted “Komm raber”! (”come over”), Schumann jumped the barbed wire and was driven away at high speeds by a waiting West Berlin police car. =-=-= Compare. Contrast.

This is my final post before leaving. 
If I get lost, do not fear. I have a GPS and an directional GSM devices to point me in a direction. 
If I fall, I guess I’ll get back up because this isn’t over. 
If I get hurt, this one time all of my teeth fell out. I’ve experienced worse. 
If I do not pass because of this, at least I’ll have done something with my life. Once. 
If little comes out of this, I’ll take pictures so that those after me find more information than I found. And I’ll meta tag it. 
If I somehow manage to die - 
Please let it always be remembered - 
I did this for credit in a class. 
Fun Depot will be closed until the weekend for Personal Adjustment. Please make your final purchases and thank you for shopping Fun Depot. (also, all posts are now crossposted at Dinosaurs Wearing Party Hats – with all previous posts pending import when I get back. LJ-previous-post-integration has come a long way since the last time DWPH was up and running. In addendum, considering the name of this journal for the past 6 years – all related domains intended to be used for the Fun Depot brand have now been squatted. I have a very funny idea involving my plans for the future. I do not know if it will work – but it is an interesting idea. Not new or anything – just very depending on taking photos and going places. It is just a thought. Either way, Fun Depot will be involved in this – with DWPH at the hub. Fun Depot domains should be up shortly after I return.)

Hi. 
None of this should be new to you – however if you have the question that I cleverly satirized in the title (using ample amounts of my endless wit to construct), we may need to touch base briefly. If you have already adjusted your News Feed Privacy settings and Application settings – move on. Find a video of a cat or something. Add some text to that image; Impact Font it up a little. The rest of you – please stay. 
If you are still here – you probably already do not use Facebook in a correct manner. I can’t really fix that, but I can fix your Privacy issue and it will take less than two or three minutes. I will even post pretty pictures in between the paragraphs to hold your interest. You find me a better deal in town. See? You can’t. 
By the end of this you should: - Know how to control what you broadcast on your wall and on other people’s News Feed page.
- Find Social Ads kind of creepy.
- Be aware of what information applications have access to and how to adjust that.
- Want a Pony. And that “Block Application > Ignore” – but that is the one thing you were probably already doing.

If you suddenly - just now - came to the realization that conversations between walls with friends in the same network have been broadcast to connections within the network (“i dont like that everyone sees what i do”) – oh dear me a hyperlinks!1 – oh noes look what i did. i dropped the link where you change that. my bad. 
Hey, you know the ads on the right-hand side of the page that say something like, “Your friend (x) is interested in (y): click here to buy Socks with Sandals Fratterpop Artist by Socks-with-Sandals Fratterpop Artist from Indiscriminate Records”? You are aware that, for other users within your linked network, you appear in those ads occasionally… right? Based on your interests listed and if a sponsor is paying. You may not have agreed to this – but you did not disagree to it when your opinion was asked. Oh look. You can can change that here.

Want to see how many applications will never bug you again in a big list? You can see your list by mousing-over “Settings” and clicking “Privacy”, then selecting “Applications”, and finally selecting the “Settings” tab. Or click here because you are lazy. The top portion is the information that Applications are allowed to access about you. Below that is a list of applications that you will never be bothered over again. 
But, I’d totally trust the makers of “Hot Nude Chicks” with my work history and contact information.

While you are at it, trim your applications. This is not Alabama and your profile is not your lawn. If we are in disagreement on the previous sentence - there is a high probability that you may also find offense in “Glitter is the herpes of arts and crafts”. So that makes twice - in a row, no less. ======== This will not fix the ugly; but the utilization of these previously existent – but now much more relevant – options will hopefully make you suck less at The Facebooks.
