Rant
I don't post on this journal much any more, so feel free to ignore this rant, as it's not something that actually matters.
See, society is depressing, with 10ish year old kids roaming the streets late at night shouting profanities at cars driving by and making inappropriate motions, kids with parents who aren't worth having, and the fact that you have to get on the internet in order to have a freaking social life. Just to name three problems with the world.
The last one really ticks me off. I'm sorry, I love my friends to death, but when the only contact I can have with them is Facebook because no one knows how to write a letter, make a phone call, etc. Return a phone call even, or talk when you answer. I called someone, we hadn't had a chance to talk in over a month. What happens? Well, a call beeps in not even 5 minutes after I call and they say "oh, I have to take this call, I'll call you right back" and I don't hear from them until I call them back a few weeks later.
I hate this. I try to keep up with people, I promise, but there are many friends I want to keep up with, only one me, and I don't comprehend computers. I can't think clearly when reading from a computer screen, and it's so impersonal it's not even... it doesn't feel real.
So what's the freaking point in trying? After all, it's not real. Nothing that happens online is real. No one really cares anymore. It used to be this great tool where you could instantly access people you cared about. Now it's turned into "If you want to know about me, read my profile. Wanna chat? IM me or post on my wall. Got something you think is an important cause? Start a group and send out invites. Otherwise, go the crap away and leave me alone, because I'm not taking the time out of my life to talk to you, see your face or hear your voice. Typed words is enough.
And yes, I see how stupid this rant is, being placed in an online journal. I do this so I can vent my frustrations and know that, in an hour from you reading this, you'll forget all about it. It proves my point. It doesn't matter to anyone anymore.
I'm taking up hand-writing letters. I have a few addresses, but don't have time to search Facebook for everyones. I'll search when I can, but if you want to chat about stuff, feel free to save me the time and post your snail-mail addy here. I'll check this for the next few weeks probably before I forget it exists due to the fact that real life screams in my face day after day, and it's enough to deal with that. So, if i don't have your address already and you want to know what's going on in my life, know that if you're my friend on here I want to know what's going on in yours, which is why I'm posting this request here. Give me your address please, and I'll get a letter out to you as soon as possible, as my friends have been in my thoughts soooooooo much recently that I'm crying out for communication.
If you have the time for that.
God bless.
