Usually, I would write my feelings (no matter how horrible or high-spirited) in a poem form. Right now, I am just going to let this go.
Warning: The following briefing may unnerve the reader or readers of this blog. If so, oh the fuck well. This is an informative blog, not a "watch your feelings" blog.
***The nerve of some people...MOST people...to have a skewed view of my life, when NO ONE HERE has lived a perfect life. The strikes against me are starting to mount out. The naysayers and speculators are having at it on my happening's behalf. Let's see the next move. I am sick of it. I know my Iwapele isn't perfect, however, I am not a fucking imbecile. I'm not proud of my past, but I can damn sure place it above a lot of folks who have the flip-top nerve to judge me and my moves. I would love to write this down on paper, better yet, say it to everybody's face. some of the people I want to put back in their car seats are not available. The people are stacking up in my head count. I'm loving the force. I'm revelling in the process of elimination I am about to level upon these people. Fuck embracing change . I am the change. Embrace me, and I will shake your foundation. I'm going to blog the inner thoughts in the form of how I haven't done so during my poems. That is very unfortunate that I have to do so, seeing that I would be comfortable with just being me. Some people aren't. This blog then, is for you. Let's first start of with social networking.
I'd like to say that I like the
Facebook and Twitter networks that utilized information and the world events for both social and political landscapes.
MySpace did so for an entertainment aspect. However, like most sites that sprout with the latest...thy shall fall by the wayside with fatal flaws. It appears to be fun for the novice, yet, destructive for the old hands. Overall, it's becoming seriously played out. Porn spam, ignorant-ass computer worms and viruses, bickering, overt pride without personal opinions, standout narcissism, and fantasies are rampant in the following sites I have encountered (past and present) :
BlackPlanet,
MySpace,
MrBlunt,
Facebook, Twitter, and "Yahoo!" Chat Rooms/Groups. Really, life should take a break from the surreal and focus on the real. I have had relationships from both landscapes take good and bad turns. I am now realizing I don't need a "revitalization" or "awakening" every damn three days, just to go back into a funk. If I'm in it, I should know the proper steps to get the fuck out of it. That's it. Why are we obsessed with help on and offline? What is it about this Age of Aquarius that people don't get about changing or staying steadfast in their own opinions, and not of someone
else's? I am part of this group, for the simple fact that I was once usurped in the lore of online entertainment. I don't blame anyone but myself. Some of you should do that as well. BLAME yourself.
So what if people constantly have something to say about what you say. Fuck em, right? Well, let's analyze this. Many of the people online are in a trance, constantly relying on these networks to give them instant escapism form their own lives. In turn, they add their lives to it, looking for the sympathetic few to comfort and/or participate in getting their lives straight. Get over it. I, again, add my own body into that pool, making sure to put an asterisk beside this year. Look, if you haven't had the first experience of being a self-fuck, give it time. I don't constantly say silly shit like "
NAGL" (not a good look), ""fail", "failure", "
FML" (fuck my life), "
GTFOH" (get the fuck outta here), and all the now-cool ass shit that is overrunning the once-
creative ways of showing your reactions, like "
lol" and "
smh". If I do, more oft than not, I am being
derisive, or may have used it for the first time. Either way, emotions are now totally computerized.
The following are some major ways to get you caught up:
*Make sure you stay to one alias, or one ID. It's always best to be yourself (from experience, putting up one of your favorite band's name as a screen ID will attract some wanted and unwanted attention, even if you also did it for a spin on your personality).
*Make a choice. Be serious or lighthearted most of the time, or both with a nice
balance and handle on yourself. Don't fake either one.
*Avoid drama queens/kings,
firestarters, and filthy net personalities.
*Speak mostly from your own perspective, but also be open to others.
*Stop fucking quoting and posting pics 90% of the time. Do it with discretion
*If you're gonna hound somebody about something, keep your goal safe. Make sure YOU have
clean sheet. It's best you DON'T hound anyone, frankly.
*Leave your beliefs/feelings at the door if you don't want to be offended or emotionally torn to pieces easily. This is a different beast.
*Don't spy. Yes, it's JUST like stalking (unless it's your admirer or love interest being unfaithful and you have right reason). Even then, make sure you have good reason and facts.
* Be weary of aggressive
texting and/or questionable activity that may affect you and whom you deal with. (See
Craigslist Killer and the the girl on
MySpace that committed suicide)
*Get the fuck off of the
Internet!!! Unless your job requires
that you use the Internet, no more than 14 hours a week online, seriously. Trust me, I have been a victim of the
bullshit that I got sucked into for being on it for more than four hours in one day. Go outside and do something, like....live!
This reads like an instructional book, however, some of you bastards out there desperately need this. For those who have a grip on reality and the
superinformation highway...congrats!
The irony? How many will ignore this to continue on to the
fuckery that is "social networking ruination"? If you got this far, post your opinions. Or not.
