reach out and fuck somebody

I have to speak to that bullshit post, even though it was made out of pure sarcasm, it was still sad to me because unless you are 14 years old and get your ego soley based off of myspace and facebook, than the blog was unfucking necessary. I am a big hater of myspace and facebook for the sole reason it is not based in reality, but an ego that is controlled, formatted with no creativity at all, sort of like that blog posting. I appreciate that Jon made this blog, I have never used one, but i enjoy it for the sole reason I can read the thoughts and speculations of friends of mine that I ACTUALLy care about what they think, since they no longer live close to me. but since you used sarcasm, your shitty blog is just a defense mechanism to live on a soapbox without being called on the shit underneath it.

But My concern is primarily the youth who use myspace as living. This is shitty to me, because instead of experiences kids are spending hours clicking away on a computer subjecting themselves to the false ego and false friends that Myspace creates. Furthermore, Myspace is just another easy escape from putting energy or time into relationships to make them substantial, it allows a person the control to create a one dimensional display of themselves. Why have the real experience of telling or sharing your feelings with someone in life, when you could instant message them and escape the face to face fear of rejection. This of course feeds into a false sense of ego and loneliness due to lack of human contact. Even finding things in common with other myspace users is one dimensional, because you are not engaging on the subjects the other person is interested in or why you both share them in common, instead in a quick glance you know that person. Another shitty among the shitties is that Myspace is not an ongoing conversation like a message board or a forum. It is a way to jack off to your own creation. Picking and choosing what people see of you and what friends you keep in contact with. Therefore, it is just another way of controlling the exchange you have with others which limits the ideas, people, literature and experience you are engaged with.. Why, because while you might look on some one’s myspace page that intrigues you to find out what their favorite book, movie or music is you are most likely not going to have a conversation with that person about why. Instead you will be isolated in your research, alone and controlled with the possibility of instant messaging them that "you really like that book to". In that exchange you have no need for real thinking to be done, you won’t be questioned why and if you are, you don’t have to answer. Shit you could read someone’s myspace blog to tell you why. Myspace buries the things that make us realize our humanity. The need to show that we are vulnerable and need each other and that we are not the one dimensional’s beings but that we are fucked up in all sorts of ways, ways that you can’t just see on the internet. Instead we can hide behind some phony internet ego to have people give us comments that portray us how we want to be seen and give us the option of having to deal with exchanging conversation with someone. This is no open forum.
Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of people who use myspace to show off their wit, or their off handed jokes about likes, dislikes, status, because myspace is also the grounds for comedic irony. What is the fucking point, to make myspace ironic? The better irony would be to laugh at those in person that take myspace seriously and try to make them understand the ridiculousness of it, besides being able to put up your best posed -unposed shot for all the internet to see. Then you could really tell if people think your ironic statements are funny by audio laughter, not your own knee slapping done at the computer. Unfortunately that would require having to subject yourself to the possibility of rejection or opposition and who the fuck wants a reality call that "your not that funny" "Or I get it you don’t want me to get it".
