“Trying is the first step to failure”.Homer Simpson
Very true indeed, coming from Homer.My last blog attempt lasted very few (a couple of months), and I’m very keen to try again, this time with some discipline. Therefore I’ll try to do it very Sunday, and it will be something of an column, rather than a blog, but anyways…I suppose I’ll be writing almost exclusively in English, because I think I’ve learned to express better in this language (Many see this too strange). But some could understand, what really is happening to me when I’m doing English.
In other news, as many of you (probably none, really) would know, I’m new to facebook, I began late because I thought I would encounter the same melting pot that has become myspace, but surprisingly (not that much really) I found it to be more relaxed and a bit more social. But its still Internet so, as almost every page on the web, its full of shit. Stoopid things that my generation feeds on, like silly little applications that make your profile a little prettier(missing myspace at all?), and the usual swarm of friends that I could swear most people don’t personally know the half of them. I just hate that. Bitch, I’m not going to add you, I barely know you. The Walls are another way to call the comments, and I hated the fact that there are like three different ways to leave comments, and I just don’t know which to pick (you won’t see me leaving to many comme- oops, sorry, I mean “wall posts” to often), everything on a very narrow space. Applications come on floods, including your usual pile of bullshit (every place needs a toilet) and society’s weaknesses (Are your friends hot? What kind of drunk are you? Internet sex?) Internet is like a pretty bumpy wave to surf.
What I did like about facebook was that its far much easier to configure (goodbye HTML hell), the neutrality is a burst of fresh air that is indeed very soothing situation. Groups and causes are awesome I must say, and the iLike service is great. Its because it lets your express yourself in a very precise way, with symbols (My flags, genius) and images (especially the musicians), finally, people can have a graphic idea of what some one likes (Fuck you lazy readers). Groups can be found with all purposes and causes give you that false satisfaction that we humans need to “belong” (sorry, what?). Within these various groups I found a very encouraging one, America is not a country, that had a link to a video I had seen before. A wise-cracking Australian reporter demonstrated how most U.S citizens are indeed, very stoopid. None could say a country that began with U (USA? DUH), say how many sides a triangle had (Eh, four?), which countries were considered part of the Axis of Evil (California?), or even realize that the reporter was pretending to be the Australian Primer Minister. Texans seem to be more stoopid than I thought (I never generalize, I always talk stereotypes) saying that if Baby Bush said so, the should invade poor Kyrgyzstan. ‘‘Because the president’s Texan, and Texans are always right’’. I mean, SHIT man, that is extremely stoopid (Baby Bush was born in Connecticut by the way, he is still stoopid though). Stereotypes are bad, and gringo stereotypes are the most harmful of them all.
So I leave, until Sunday, or next.
Sharkman signing off.
P.S: I found people from my old school, and I feel as if I was being haunted by them all.
