2008

I usually hate to write about myself in the sense that it always sounds like doom and gloom, but trust me when I say that I am only getting better as I mature. I still have to fight my demons usually on a daily basis, but I am more successful than ever before. Somedays I wake up feeling as if the world is my oyster, others I feel as though I have ate rotten shellfish, but all in all I am more hopeful about my future than a year ago. I take two steps forward and sometimes one step back, but never more than that. I still do not have the love that I have desired, but I'm confident that if I spend the next year working on myself that it will find me. The main point I've learned this year is that even when you feel that all your chips are down, there is always hope. Even if you're an agnostic like me, you still feel as though you are being guided by the unseen and even if they bump you in a couple walls you always fall back on the proverbial right path.

Why Twitter is Retarded

Lately, you probably been hearing about "twittering" either from friends, the local news or just various websites. After a constant barrage of this and a morbid curiousity, I decided to take a look at what Twitter had to offer. Essentially, I found it's a social networking site except the bread and butter of the content is just a simple status update. Hmmm...a status update? Where have I seen that before? Oh yeah...EVERY GODAMMED SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE ON THE INTERNET. Everybody acts like it's some revolutionary new communication frontier that just suddently became massively popular. You don't even really learn anything about the people you are "twittering" with. The personal information for everyone is so vague so you never really completly find out how much of a douche everyone is. I bet a hundred bucks they'll update Twitter just enough so it somewhat resembles Facebook over time and Facebook isn't even that great to begin with. Then you have the average demographic for Twitter. Whereas Myspace is to Emos as Facebook is to Frat Boys, Twitter is to bored young professionals that like to talk about how late they are to finish their digital art projects or self loath about having to upgrade their shitty Mac products. Suddently, it's trendy to make everything insanely simple these days.

In lieu of the concept of Twitter, I've to go one step further in design of my social networking site for idiots. First we have to go with a stupid cutsy name all the kids will like, so we'll call it "Peep." Second, no pictures or real names, just a number will be assigned to you following the registration process. Lastly, instead of the 140 word limit that Twitter has for the status update, we'll cut it down to 3 words for those with ADHD. Huzzah I'm rich bitch!
