Myspace Trendinistas
I’ve only been on myspace for a while now, and I see some trends.
Either folks are too quick to toot their own intellectual horns, or they like to let you know within the space of a paragraph just how deep and complex and arty they are. Or—and here’s one I don’t get—they want you to know how aloof and misanthropic and antisocial they are. You don’t have to be a fan of irony to see the fault here. They want everybody to care that they don’t care what people care about, especially if that thing they care about is they. Rock.
The other side of the coin is that whole ignorance is bliss taken to the Nth degree thing. People seem to equate the formula dumb = cool.
Similarly, if you’re boring, random, or you suck, you don’t have to tell us; we’ll get that.
I dun no what a fuckign blog is neway. But, I’ll write sunthin for all you all. Yeah, I no it’ll suck, but I don’t care beeyatch. It’s me n f u dun like it, I dun care, foo. It’s a ranum sampul of me and what I do. If you dun like it eat shit.
I can only imagine that some of you have one of those pendulum drinking birds hitting your caps lock keys while you type. What’s that about?
Some of the surveys are fun, but most aren’t. I’d really rather Myspace didn’t resemble a visit to the DMV filling out paper work.
I try to comment on people’s pictures and stuff; please stop begging me to do that. I will most likely get around to yours. Folks, I know it’s hard to believe, but I only get so many bon mots a day.
You folks with the myspace editors, god where do I start? If you’re going to write stuff, could I please read it? If you put it against a non-contrasting background, well that’s just bad design.
With all it’s faults, it’s pretty cool. It’s anti social socialization. And that’s just a real special kind of special.
