Well I modified another php file to give my users a post box over the friends activity area, then I used this redirect code: wp_redirect( $bp->activity->slug );

Now it mimics facebook, you have a landing page with all your friends activity, a place to post your updates, and the redundant nav and profile picture is gone. I really like this set up as I feel it will improve user interactivity.
