Well I may have to start this with a form of a disclaimer:
I do enjoy Myspace as much as the next person, so no, I'm not being a hypocrite.
Now, with that said, ENOUGH! I understand now the necessity for an age limit on Myspace. Just like the argument that, maybe the age limit for alcohol should be raised, some people just aren't mature enough for such a responsibility.
So just who am I referring too? Those that see the need to post every little bit of unnecessary, unwanted, unimportant crap that could possibly happen to them, or anyone else for that matter. For the need to post a new picture every flippin second they change their clothes or dye their hair. With such goals as, "I need just 4,504 more pictures/friends". Tell me something, do you get a prize? Really, have you gotten to such a point that you need fictitious associates to redeem your inability to interact with the physical world.
Now I realize the irony in that statement. I sit here now trying to meet the masses with electronic strokes, on an imaginary piece of paper, to a crowd that probably won't exist. But that's what we've become. A civilization that strives to find meaning and importance to a life that is just as meaningful, or not, as everyone else. Ah the statement flashes before me like a neon sign; "you are an individual, just like everyone else!". But that's not what I'm discussing today.
I'm talking about those that feel the need to post a message of "HEY! Look at me!!". How about sending a post like, "Hey, I finally did something with my life, at 37 even". Nobody cares if you have 15 pictures of you positioning your hand 27 different ways. Or the traditional, "here's me in a pink hat" and "here's me in a blue hat". ENOUGH. I may have to start campaigning with "here's me flipping you off in blue." and "here's me flipping you off, naked." There is more to life than me taking time to see just how different you look on Monday as you do on a Tuesday.
I'm sure there are a million blogger's who have taken it upon themselves to post exactly what I bring to you today. I realize that I may lack the creativeness to preach something new. But, if you assholes would stop, I wouldn't be repeating what has already been stated.
My second disclaimer: I realize you are all my friends and family. Many of which are listed accordingly on my Myspace page. I love you all, except that one person. But let's make a effort to post quality, not quantity.
