Formspring.me


If you are reading this right now, I want you to stop after this sentence, and type the following into you address bar: "formspring.me". Then I want you to register and create an account, then post the link to your account on your facebook wall. You have just done perhaps the funniest and dumbest things you could possibly do.
Formspring is dumb. I have one. Doesn't make it any less dumb. Let's analyze further: Here is a website that bases its entire existence on the assumption that you go through life feeding your friends, classmates, and associates so much bullshit regarding your personal actions that in order to grasp even a fraction truth, they have to ask you anonymously over the Internet. That was the INTENDED purpose, remember that. Here you are, Susie Q. Bullshit (or Steven Q. Bullshit, cuz I don't want to seem sexist) giving random people an opportunity to ask you anything about your life. But maybe that's not bad; maybe you're like me and you enjoy answering questions about yourself. It's fun, it's harmless, and you can ignore the ones you want to ignore.
Of course, if you're a dumbass, you can go ahead and answer the ones you should have ignored, thus making your formspring page the most embarrassing thing you've ever created for yourself. If people ask you really inappropriate shit, and you go ahead and answer it, or even worse try and create a funny banter with the person who asked you said inappropriate shit, thus creating opportunities for them to ask you even inappropriate-er shit, you should really reassess your possession of a formspring. Cuz you can't delete that stuff, man. But hey, I mean, it's not too bad. I mean, at least it's a web page, so they have to actually type in your site to access it. I mean, people are too lazy to do that, right? It's not like you have it connected to your facebook account....
Wait? You have it to your facebook account? So you just told everyone on facebook that you masturbate three times a day? Yeah, smart move. First off, I don't wanna see that shit. Number B, damn near no one else wants to see it either. And Roman Numeral C, you should have more self-respect than to put all your business out there, or be toyed with by some loser. Learn a lesson.

P.S. To set the record straight, I actually thoroughly enjoy formspring; However, when used in an improper manner, it can be extremely stupid. So, drink responsibly.

Omegle/ChatRoulette

Ok so, Daniel decided to talk about facebook, which made me want to talk about facebook. But the man did his thing, so I went to a different direction. We're gonna start this off with a story.
About a year and a half ago, a friend introduced me to a site named Omegle. I go to the site, and I click "chat," and I am confronted by a chat window that says, "You are now chatting with a random stranger, say Hi!" Now what in God's holy name is this? A website where you talk to a stranger for the purposes of talking to a stranger? A girl introduced me to this. A girl. Not only do people visit this site to chat, but they also "make friends." What? Again, this report is from girls. Now, I'm no expert on creepers, but I'm fairly certain you meet a random stranger on a sketchy website and give him your name, he's gonna be choking the chicken to your British Virgin Island pics on facebook the next day. That's just an assumption.
Anyway, I opened up to Omegle as more people realized how creepy it was, and just went there to dick around with other people who were there to dick around. Great time. This whole talking to strangers thing isn't so bad. Enter Chat Roulette.
Now when I heard about Chat Roulette the first couple of times, it was my friend in DC seeing Chuck Brown, and this girl I know seeing a glorified douche from Jersey Shore. So I'm thinking, "This must be a website that celebrities get on to video chat with fans! Cool!" Oh no, I was wrong again. I visit this place, and it's Omegle with a webcam. That's not cool, that's weird. Now instead of the creepy dude masturbating to your pictures, he can see your face! Stupidity. What the hell are you doing? If the dude you see is not a celebrity, hit new game and keep it moving. If you're that sex deprived and a hot dude is what you want, holla at Conover on facebook chat and he'll be sure to oblige you (or hell, me for that matter, I'm here for ya, baby). But be sensible.
Look, I know a good number of y'all use these sites, so I'm not here to dump on you. That job is for Cons. Ladies, if you're having a little sleepover, and you think it's funny to catch a guy shirtless laying down on Chat Roulette, be my guest. Have a laugh. But if you are by yourself at home, bored, there are better things to do then hop on Chat Roulette for the hundreds of guys waiting for you to see them naked. Read a book. Learn to play an instrument. Do some damn homework. Go chat a guy on facebook that you wouldn't normally talk to. But by God don't spend your time on that madness. And if you do, if you're just that bored and can't help it, please don't tell me about it unless it's something cool. I don't wanna hear about how many guys you caught jacking off on Chat Roulette last night.
Disclaimer: This is not meant to harm the business of Chat Roulette or Omegle. Nor is this meant to offend the small population of people who don't see creepy stuff on these sites. Nevertheless, if you're a normal, everyday person who enjoys talking to strangers, consider if you would do it in person; then decide whether to execute your action.
Deuces.

Smh @ Facebook

For my first post I decided to get something of my chest. I hate facebook. Sadly, I am, as all of you are, constantly on facebook. Why? Because, put simply, it is the easiest way to stay in touch with my daily acquaintances as well as all of my old friends. However, despite this wonderful service which facebook provides I still hate it, and here for you are my top 3 most hated things about facebook.

1.) Girls. All of you. Especially the little ones. Before chatting or messaging me, please ask yourself: "Would I do/say this in real Life?" If the answer is no, don't talk to me. I'm tired of girls who have twice as much confidence on facebook as they do in real life (Ric is not). Don't get me wrong, the same can be said for guys out there, but Its not a problem for me. Take the time to have a real conversation with a real person, and if you wouldn't do it face to face, don't do it (unless you are exceptionally sexy/horny).

2.) FAN PAGES. Do I even need to say anything about this? Just because you agree with an idea, or can relate to a given social situation does not mean you are a "fan" of it. To say "I am a fan of Justin Bieber" makes logical sense (sort of). To say "I am a fan of 'I hate it when you are talking to someone and it is like so awkkk'" does not. Also, as I have said before, you will never gain anything, ever, from joining a facebook page. You will not hear the riddle, get the answer you so desperately want to hear, or see the "F***ing hilarious" video that caused half of "Princeton Graduates" to "Not be able to contain their laughter." Its out of control, and frankly nobody cares about what you are a "fan" of.

3.) Fb Chat. It messes up all the time, and it is the main medium through which I am exposed to #1. It is also often serves as an annoying interruption. When I am going about my nightly business (web surfing, hulu, porn, etc.) there is nothing worse than realizing I've left my facebook open and seeing that I've got a message from someone I'd really rather not talk to. It's unnecessary exposure, and I suppose its my own fault, but it just creates an awkward situation. And I hate it. Maybe I should make a fan page for that, but there probably already is.

Welcome

Welcome to my blog. Since this is my first post, I don't really have much to say right now, other than thanks for visiting. There's no set schedule right now for posting; I'm just going to post whenever something happens and I want to comment on it. Could be every hour, could be every week. But anyway, thanks for coming, I hope you enjoy.
No, it's not over yet. Since I don't have anything specific to discuss, I guess I'll just give you a couple quick hitters to let you know a few of my pet peeves.
1) I realize that all you little girls really like Nicki Minaj and everything. Yes, she's the "Barbie Chick" and all that, but here's a newsflash: You are not her! When she dresses in a shoestring and talks about handling balls, it makes her money. When you do it, it makes you look like a slut. Unless that's you goal, cuz if so, holla at me. And stop trying to quote her if you don't know how to spell. It's "asbestos," not "asbestest."
2) I just came to the realization just a few days ago that some people don't like Kid Cudi. I hear that's it's because he's not a, and I quote, "street nigga." If this is the case with you, I hate you. No exaggeration. Don't be ignorant. He is one of the most creative and honest artists out today. He does not conform, nor does he try to be something he is not. He is true. If you can't respect that, than I can't respect you.
3) If you want to make your boyfriend/girlfriend look bad, and if you want to tarnish their name, you need to create an elaborate plan involving school-wide humiliation. If you want to provide entertainment for all of your friends, and potentially embarrass yourself, air out the dirty laundry in the relationship via Facebook. We all love it. But by God, you can't combine the two, because it WILL NOT work.
