[BACKGROUND] written in about five minutes on august 24, 2008 (at approximately 06:50ish PM. stalker!) - it was quickly scribbled because i'm just annoyed, and borderline disgusted, at certain people on the internet. i'm thinking about refining this sometime because it really is just a scrap of words right now, but it got out the intended thoughts. however, i do apologize because trust me, it's poorly written. i also start directly addressing my particular audience at some point, and ... i haven't been in school for awhile, okay?
[PURPOSE] ideally, to affect change, but i'm a pessimist at heart (i'm working on that, really!), so i doubt it. but perhaps the five specific people and their followers it's intended for will read it, and think about it.
also, doubtful.
"EDRAMA"
i tend to keep my distance from a certain group of people on the web because ... i feel like they have no lives, haha.
but it's been about a year since i discovered them, and now that i've returned to the interwebs, i find it difficult to avoid them because i have friends who are friends with them or something of the sorts. and while it's a strong principle of my mine to just not visit the sites i don't like instead of thinking about them or writing about them... i guess that wasn't as strong a principle as i once thought.
these people are annoying, dude.
they're generally all over twenty years old, and my opinion is once you're eighteen, you really have no excuse to be immature. and while the immaturity of these people don't leak through their grammar or writing (though, digression: their blogs. are boring. people who try to be entertaining and aren't FAIL), they still exude immaturity. actually, people who measure intelligence by grammar and syntax have a thing or two to learn about life - better yet, they measure intelligence by profiency in english. wow. i don't know what to say to that. these 'lites walk and speak as if the english language is the mighty, the majestic, the one thing everyone in the world should have mastered. you must have not lived very much if you attack someone for "not speaking english" ... i only wonder if you do the same to others' faces, when you can't hide behind a computer screen - when you're in a country that is not your own, and the people speak broken english, do you laugh at them with your internet friends? cause yo, that's your sophistication at its finest.
actually, i'm quite convinced none of you have lived because you seem to spend a great amount of your time on forums and laughing at internet drama.
well, i guess i shouldn't judge how people live their lives, but come on? i wish i could teach you how to live because you've missed out on something great. you're at the prime of your life, and you spend your summer days chillaxing on a forum. do you want to get out, and like, smell the roses? (sorry, actually, autumn approaches, and there are no more roses... but you can smell the apples) have you seen the sunset, the sunrise, the ocean? do you know what it's like to not have access to a computer for a month? a week? better more, do you know what it's like to not think about the computer?
you're lucky you live in a first world country where, sadly, it seems to be the norm to be on the computer for more than an hour a day and to make fun of others for your entertainment. it appears that you've never known the pain that is supporting a family or working a job (... i guess some of you have jobs, but not demanding ones at that - but perhaps i'll talk about underachievement in another post. OUCH), but only the "happiness" that is your computer and your internet friends.
it makes me sad, really. you're a big problem i have with society. perhaps i will post a list of these websites, and those who agree can do a case study with me.
