uffffffffff

Stop it, man, before I hurt myself.

Martin’s one and only truth

I’m not trying to tell you anything
You didn’t know
When you woke up today

Oh well, for once he said it right, to the point, on topic, and whole truth.

The man bores me, lyrically. Uff.

I did have a startling discovery though. I was listening to Strangelove and I am pretty sure they used Dave’s gasp as a percussion type of instrument

Social networking sites – why I prefer bulletin boards.

I just came across this article on cnn…

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/science/10/30/online.rejection.defriending/index.html

Finished reading it a little amused. Well… what did you people expect? You get hurt coz someone refused to befriend you? I do that all the time, for many reasons. One: you don’t seem to have same interest as mine, do I need your spam? Don’t think so. Two: you have a nasty nickname (yes, that counts a lot). Three: your avatar… Oh oh, let’s not forget, I do delete people from my social networking sites, mostly because they never say anything to me, or what they say is totally against my own points of view and they spam my homepage with their pointless blabbing.

Either people these days are very thin-skinned (look at those teens committing suicide, society blaming bullying on myspace or whatever other place) or those “studies” focus on some fringe individuals just to spark attention of media. You cannot be serious telling me you get hurt when you see someone you DON”T KNOW YET rejects your friend request????

The “digital egos” the article talks about is usually overinflated. Someone needs to pop the bubble once in a while to curb that animal in people that makes them say awful things just because they can, “It’s Internet, not life”.

The study also affected the way Loflin interacts online. Out of the 1,200 friends he has on Facebook, 400 of them he doesn’t really know, many of them being friends of friends.

1,200? And you call them friends? How many of them stay in contact with you? How many you never spoke to? Aside the 400, of course. Is that a FRIEND? You people need to consult a dictionary once in a while. Perhaps then it’ll dawn on you social networking sites duped you into the whole business.

I don’t like social networking sites. On Myspace I get “threatening” bulletins that of I don’t send them a greeting they will delete me. Uhm…….. OK, delete me. I see your nick second time in my life. Did you ever try to make a contact with me aside your greeting every week? The same one you send to your 100+ or 1,200+ of “friends”? People send these greetings and never ask, hey, how are you? Never try to make some connection… On Facebook, some junkies have the urge to reply to every single status update one day of a week they are on – and it doesn’t even matter how stupid and pointless their comments are. I doubt their IQ 99% of the time.  The most important thing is: I ANSWERED YOU!!!!!!! Pfff. And the terrible, overwhelming number of applications that send you hearts, vampires, cocks, flowers, teddy bears, photos… DARN! I love it – once in a while. But don’t get offended if I don’t have time on every day basis to check the 20+ hearts and send it back to you. Again, I will send the same heart to those 20+ people. Wow……. amazing friendship.

And… Facebook statuses.  Oh boy. The more enigmatic the more intelligent you think you are. However, they’re apparently better than most of Twitter’s but I refused to get to know. The idea of Twitter is simply sick. If I need advertising of products/people/ideas I don’t care about, I have TV in the other room.

To sum up. Get a life, people. Not necessarily the real one, get a digital life. But with some truth in it. Cherish FRIENDS you have, not the 1200+ of pictures of characters you never will or did know. Is it clear now why I like forums better? You actually have meaningful exchange of sentences, usually on one topic, and you do get to know these people. You know what bothers them, what they love, what they hope for without being bombarded with tons of statuses that don’t tell you anything.

piiiiiiiiiics

Shhh, I never said that :P

Bono is very gracious man

And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it

 

Don’t let the bastards grind you down

I truly believe that the music has ended somewhere between 1993 and 1995. The 60ies, 70ies, 80ies and the beginning of 90ies, after that there’s total silence. Even MTV doesn’t play music.

One of the best albums in the history: U2 Achtung Baby.

U2 - Acrobat

Don't believe what you hear
Don't believe what you see
If you just close your eyes
You can feel the enemy
When I first met you girl
You had fire in your soul
What happened your face
Of melting in snow ?
Now it looks like this!

And you can swallow
Or you can spit
You can throw it up
Or choke on it
And you can dream
So dream out loud
You know that your time is coming 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down

No, nothing makes sense
Nothing seems to fit
I know you'd hit out
If you only knew who to hit
And I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah I'd break bread and wine
If there was a church I could receive in
'Cos I need it now

To take a cup
To fill it up
To drink it slow
I can't let you go

And I must be
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And don't let the bastards grind you down

Oh, it hurts baby
What are we going to do now it's all been said ?
No new ideas in the house, and every book has been read

And I must be
An acrobat
To talk like this
And act like that
And you can dream
So dream out loud
And you can find
Your own way out
And you can build
And I can will
And you can call
I can't wait until
And you can stash
And you can seize
In dreams begin
Responsibilities
And I can love
And I can love
But I know that the tide is turning 'round
So don't let the bastards grind you down

Happy vamp
