We all hit bad times on the web now and then – - I think the important thing is would not to let it make us absent or silence our voices.
I think Uptown Girl may have woken me up.
You know, when I said I was going to bag IT, I had no idea people would really care. You know what? You do care, so now so do I.
It’s kind of hard to relate what made me want to give up blogging on this domain, but I think I can narrow it down to a few personality types…
There’s the type who mouths off at every chance, even when something isn’t related to them, because they’re part of the clique. You can’t criticize one of them lest you have to suffer through the utter stupidity of all their trolls. You can’t criticize them directly because then you’ll hear about their rough pregnancy, their post partum depression, their fucked up life growing up, or some other bullshit sob story. And if you do dare criticize them, guess what? You’re only doing it for hits. It’s all about hits.
Then there’s the type who’s “above it all” and who “stay out of it” and pretends not to care what others think. Until you criticize them. Then they write twenty two posts about how unimportant you are and how you aren’t worth their time despite the inordinate amount of time they devote to you.
There’s also the whiners. The “I got knocked up, I’m having a baby” then “I’m so sad, I feel worthless when I’m not pregnant” types. They, for the most part run in the same circles as the “I’m pregnant so any criticism of me is so strenuous and dangerous to my pregnancy that I can’t possibly receive it without endangering the life of my child and blah blah blah.” Fuck you and the horse you rode in on. Nobody cares.
There’s the “elite” group, too. You know the types… The ones to whom you must bow at their entrance into the room. You know the type. Funny people who aren’t funny, but everyone says they are. Insightful people who aren’t, but everyone calls them such. Generous people who are called generous because, well, you know they are. Don’t forget the “prom queen & king” couple who are just so cute that you wanna puke. They annoy the shit out of me too.
Then comes the “liberated” ones who are so smart, liberated, and motivated by love of humanity that they take pictures of their tits (for charity of course, shame doesn’t matter if you’re donating the profits) or take pictures of a hot tub party fake french kissing each other almost entirely naked. But don’t criticize them, because then you’re doing it for hits (see above).
Don’t forget the nasty cunt who appears from time to time, never has anything of value to say and just wiggles out a profane comment every now and again. They’re not too bright, but their friends love them. In fact, they’re pretty sad, but no one in their little circle would dare tell them that. Friends don’t speak up.
Then there’s the obsessive macho gun nut who likes to whip out his dick to prove his length. You know the type. Obsessed with the femininity of modern men while at the same time taking offense to calling him the neanderthal he is. Happy with a subservient wife who defends him to the death, he’ll never know what an unmitigated neanderthal assbag he really is.
Keep an eye on the other loons. The real loons. The far the fuck out there standing in a pile of shit and blaming it on someone else. These are the same type who can’t put partisanship aside when someone even dies, and there are plenty of them on both sides. From the cocksuckers who spent days ragging on a dead Ronald Reagan, to the loons who couldn’t even be remotely close to respectful on the death of Senator Paul Wellstone, there are plenty of ‘em. Watch out for those fuckers; they’ll bite you if given the chance.
Oh, there are lot of personalities in the blogosphere. These are their personalities, and there are many more.
I think I’ve found my calling. Pointing out the assclowns in the blogosphere. Shouldn’t be hard; there are plenty of ‘em.
I’m back.
IT is staying.
And God help you if you’re one of the people above.
