God, I just can't believe that some people would actually be doing better than I am. The nerve.
On the other hand, there are people who do seem to enjoy boasting. I accepted a Friend request from a guy I knew from high school that I was kinda tight with for a while. As with anyone I re-contact from the old days, I shot him a message asking him what he's been up to. He never answered. Posted a few times on his wall, just saying Hi and that, no replies. But he's on Facebook all the time, asking people to Like his business page; obviously he's using the whole social networking thing to expand his client base, but he could at least keep up the personal end. And from digging around, I know that he now lives in Florida and has his own photography studio.
Every status is "Spent all day at the beach house. Life is good." and "Played tennis this morning, then went sailing." and "Scored a big contract this week. That should pay for my trip to the Bahamas this year." Okay, dude, we get it; you're very successful and life has been good to you. And you're too busy living the good life to actually talk to people who you once considered friends, so... later. I unFriended him. Seemed like a pretty one-way relationship anyway.
