Well, seems that I've been a bit lax in my rants.Trust me, it hasn't been a matter of not having anything to rant about. It's been more of a matter of being too wound up to take the time to type one up. But now I've finally hit the boiling point with Twitter. What's the thrill? What;s the purpose? I just don't get it!
Seriously, who the fuck cares what JimBaker1976 is doing right now? Now, admittedly, I haven't spent very much time with the whole Twitter thing, but I don't really think I need to. I have better things to do with my time, to be quite honest.
Here's my take on Twitter, based on an example.
All I can say is "WOW!". Well, maybe not! I can say "Who the fuck cares!".
Or "Get a fucking life!".
Or "When did you wash your fucking hands between wiping your ass and handling food with those hands, Jim?".
Or "Eat shat and die, Jim! Some of us have real lives and don't have your feeling of self-importance that makes us think that the whole world gives a good healthy shit what we're doing every fucking second of the day!.
This whole Twitter thing, or virtually all social networking for that matter, is a crock of shit! Seriously! Now, don't get me wrong, I spend more than my fair share of time in front of a computer, but I spend that time gleaning far more substantial information than what some perhaps total stranger is doing at a given moment. I guess I'm not all that into voyeurism to get sucked into the fad. And I seroiusly don't think anyone else needs to either. It goes far beyond innocent entertainment - to the point of obsessive, to say the least.
Give up your fucking Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, or whatever other social networking medium someone has convinced you that you can't do without. Nobody really cares and you really shouldn't be posting every little detail of your real personal life for all to see, especially when it might still be there in another five, ten, twenty, or fifty years, only to be dug up and exploited long after you have moved on and forgotten about those historic ramblings.
Think about it! Think about it really hard! Should you be posting information that might be read by your grand parent, parent, children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren? Or by your employer or future employer? Or by someone who just wants to fuck with your personal life and my your life miserable? Or, worse yet, the government? I think not! But once the genie is out of the bottle there's not putting it back in, just like not being able to call a bullet back after you pull the trigger.
Twitter. Flash in the pan today, but with potentially haunting consequence's long after the fad has passed. You don't need your nose that far up anyone else's ass and others surely don't need their noses that far up your ass either. It's not socially acceptable and it's just not right - not even cyber-socially!
NUFF SAID!!!
