This morning...
I got up this morning around 9am and wandered to the bathroom. I didn't have my contacts in, but when I was looking out the back porch windows, everything was bright white. I must've stood there in confusion for at least five minutes. There was no snow when I went to bed and that was only a few hours before. How the hell was there three inches? In April? I really haven't been that downright confused in awhile.
Anyway, my real rant for today: MySpace Drama
On the surface, it's a neat idea, similar to Facebook. A place online for people who may not be able to stay in touch very easily to meet and greet and keep up. That's why I gave in and got one. But there's so much other CRAP in MySpace it's just retarded. Like this whole "Top 8" thing - you can choose eight of your friends to feature on your public profile. Now, when someone isn't in someone else's Top 8 and they feel they should be, some people are actually insulted. And heaven forbid you get removed from someone's Top 8... It creates drama where it doesn't even make sense. Then there's bulletins... as Andy said, a bulletin is supposed to be a periodical update about something that might be pertinent to a large group of people. Instead it's used to advertise if you're single or not, or tell everyone 600 different ways what your favorite food and sexual positions are. And then 50 people reply to the same bulletin with the same Copy & Pasted, poorly constructed Bulletin and you have to wade through all of them to see if anyone actually posted anything of pertinence. If I could block certain people from showing up on my Bulletin list, I'd be much happier. But of course, everyone would be offended just as if I removed them from my "Top 8".
Why do people take this web site so seriously? It's a good place to keep in touch. That's it. Getting distraught over shit that happens on a website is so not worth it. I can't help but laugh at the highschool-esque drama that site perpetuates among people who should be way past highschool.
In other news, Taming of the Brew is this weekend...
Jeff: ready for the taming of the brew?
cam815: FUCK YES
cam815: not sure how we're getting home tho
cam815: cuz i think we'll all be wasted
Jeff: that was going to be my next question... haha
Jeff: we could probably take a motor home and then just stumble outside, get in, and pass out.
Jeff is a genius.
