Irking 02162009a

Sometimes I see things and they make me question a person's intentions. Then I see that same thing a couple of times and realize that its a trend. My rationality is thrown off of its course to find an equilibrium and I chuck it up to some fad that people mindlessly follow because its cool. So here are a couple of those things, amendments will be made later:
  • P3opl3 th@t typ3 l!k3 th!s- it takes way longer for you to find a chacter that looks like a letter. You could use that time to come up with something more thought provoking. Or better yet, you can save it for when you're on your deathbed.
  • Avatars that are not an accurate representation- I have no problem with someone utilizing the veil of 'anonymity' of the internet to create different personas, but could we keep some type of reality in it. Truly, how many of us can claim to be God's gift to the world (that line is wrong on SOOOOO many levels). And if you have to be hetero to be called a playboy....
  • Airing dirty laundry on facebook- I'll be the first to admit that I am a facebook-aholic, but I am always aware of what information is posted about me and in relation to me. Facebook is not the place to tell your baby daddy that he is late on his child support (don't laugh, I've seen it). While we are on the subject, you shouldn't have in excess of 25 notes published on facebook. If you that good of a damn writer, invest in a blog.
  • Softening the blows of reality with 'happy euphenisms'- If I'm not performing up to par, I'm not performing up to par. It insults me when you criticize by saying it is an opportunity for me to be better. Likewise, if you are an alcoholic, don't expect me to soften the blow by saying you are dependent on depressants.
Hmmm, I think I did something similar to this already. I hope I didn't repeat anything.

How else would I know that you read it?
