I don't need robots for friends.
I am currently on a Myspace Hiatus. I was never really the kind of person to check the thing every hour or so, but I tried to keep up with comments, Messages and whatever else almost on a daily basis. Since the beginning of my hiatus I have noticed the tons of messages sent to my e-mail regarding new messages, friend requests, comments, whatever else. I just don't feel like dealing with it, I'm kind of over it.
It's dawned on me to yet again just delete it, this time not because of drama or rude messages from gross boys- But Just because it seems redundant, ridiculous and like a huge waste of time. I really couldn't care less what people think of my new picture, or my new blog, or who wants to be my "friend" or who leaves comments inquiring about my well being when honestly- they all probably have my phone number... Remember when computers weren't our primary means of communication? I do...So I think I'm regressing back to the good ole' days of dialing numbers or actually seeing people in person instead of sending them messages or event invites... It's really just not a good time anymore.... And if I hear one more person say " Oh man that's totally going on my Myspace" after a picture is taken, I might lose my fucking mind. Has it really gotten so out of hand that we feel it necessary to document our every move on a website so that the people around us actually keep up with how we are?
Yeah, I've been able to find some people that I haven't communicated with in a long time, and that's rad..and sure, some of us are busy doing our own thing and it's an easy way to catch up on one anothers' lives... But for christs sake.... Does anyone really care what someones' favorite flavor of ice cream is, or what method they'd use to kill someone if they really have to? I know I am no innocent party when it comes to the juvenile task of posting meaningless bulletins just so you feel like you're getting the attention of someone, and wasting some time, to boot. But I just can't stand the reliance people have on this dumb website, their "Friends LIst" which consists of people they barely know or hardly talk to, Or their fucking super-mega designed page layouts.
I don't know how long this hiatus will last...I'm making it a point not to log in to check any of these messages, respond to any comments or anything else. It's been about a week, going on 2, and I'm feeling pretty fantastic about severing the tie with a trendy acquaintance connector. No thank you. People use to call/ text/ visit/ hang out... Thats way more enjoyable then telling someone how badly you miss them and how it's been too long since you last hung out- so the whole fucking world can see it.
Eat a dick, Myspace. We're on a break- Leading to a break-up.
If you need me, I'll be interacting with the real world.
