Something strange happened today. I made an LJ entry.
Something strange happened yesterday. My friend Jason and I were looking at www.rateusa.com It's one of those sites where people put up their pictures and make profiles and then everyone else on the site rates how good looking that person is. As a general rule I consider this concept to be very lame, though I can never keep myself from looking at the top girls. Anyway, we decided to make a profile of our friend Colin using a picture on his family website from when he's 12 with a big smile brimming with braces, and then we made his profile say stereotypical gangster and gangster-related things, and it was kinda funny. Or so thought the people who commented. Anyway, I soon got the uncontrollable urge to make my own profile, which I guess happens when you see the 5000 comments each person on the site gets saying that they're beautiful and that they gave that person a 10 rating and things like that. Honestly, no matter whose picture you look at it will say "yo DAMN u fIne! a 10 all tHe WaY! CoMe rAte me sumTiMe." Maybe the website automatically creates an orange county compliment for each person. Which is my next point. Over half of the people on the site live in southern California. Southern Californians, I've decided, are very stupid people. Mostly. I mean, of course not everyone is, and I have my select friends down there. Not to say they're mean people...just uneducated surfers and skaters who pretend to speak ibonics and who like rap and hip hop a great deal and don't smoke nearly enough weed. If any. Nooo, I'm just joking, I don't mean any of that...seriously though, SoCal is infested with PeePS hoo Lik 2 ParTay wid eAcHuDda n DeR GrlS and who think everyone is hott and gets a 10 rating, even though the highest rating on the site is between a 7.5-8.5 Usually around 8.0. I don't know if I should speak my mind, cause it makes me feel like a shallow bastard...but people are mean and hypocritical. They give people bad ratings for who knows why and say they give good ratings and everyone writes that they like the exact same things...parties, people of the opposite sex, getting drunk, rolling with their shit off safety...things like that. Anyway, I have posted ONE comment so far and that was to a girl my age from Maryland who IMed me on AIM when she got my screen name, and there was no talk of booties or thugs or being tan or pop-rock. She was really from Maryland. And she was cool. So I've learned a few things from this experience. 1. I was right, these sites really are stupid 2. Everyone is a hypocrite (yes me mostly) 3. People who like punk are generally pretty interesting 4. Southern California is stupid 5. Beauty is definitely not skin deep. It's like Aorta-deep. 6. There are sooo many single girls and guys out there that there is no reason for anyone (me) to complain. I've also found out that the essays my teachers assign do indeed help my writing, but that's just cause I find things to do online instead of doing the essays. And I'm spent, I hope everyone (me) has a marvelous day.
