Since when?
I was scoffed at for still using (however intermittently) LJ. Apparently, since Facebook and Twitter launched, having an online blog is no longer popular. Personally, I'd still rather read a blog than deal with the overblown drama of Facebook. As for Twitter, the only enjoyable page I've ever read belongs to Jhonen Vasquez. The other ones I've seen are all just mindless fucking chatter.
Sometimes I wish people would just Shut Up.
Certainly I talk about myself. Quite a bit more than I think I should sometimes. But I don't feel the need to paste tiny updates about where I am and what I'm doing every five minutes. Nobody, and I repeat, nobody's life is that interesting. Don't care what you do, where you do it, who you do it with, it doesn't matter: You are not fucking interesting enough to mandate hourly updates on your life. Even paranoid schizophrenics get old at that rate. You can only mutter about the squirrel that keeps following you five times in a row, max, before I start thinking someone needs to break your fingers.
Most of all, Facebook and Twitter are just too goddamn depressing. It's like an ever and rapidly changing illustration of the decline of Man. I mean. Shit. You always knew it was happening, you were just never so blatantly and continually assaulted by the proof.
*sigh* There are several directions to go from here. I can branch into the various failings of the education system, the success of the media's bandwagon brand brainwashing, the decline of respect and respectability in the human race - America in particular, on into the ways in which big business and capitalism as religion ruins our lives. Under these headings are smaller thoughts, rants, and opinions that split off into their own various tangents in the warren of my mind. And I don't really think I'm up for the rabbit hole tonight. So for now, let's just take the blue pill.
Strangely, my reason for wanting to post tonight was to complain about computer forums/reviews and the annoying people who post on them. It seems like everyone's an expert because they plugged some pieces together and they worked. It starting to sound rather like saying you're an engineer because you can build a lego set.
But whatever, I'm just so tired of wading through bullshit. Even my own.
