I’m Cleaning (internet) House
If anyone wants more twitter followers I just cut loose about 1 million of them when I deleted my Twitter account. That’s right.
I woke up this morning and had a realization that none of this is necessary at all. Honestly I already knew it just like all of you know it…but today was different. I got out my laptop like I do everymorning, opened it up and checked me email and all my social networking sites…and I felt sick doing it. Angry. I opened Twitter and saw that my friend had something witty to say about BP. Then I opened Facebook and saw the exact same message from the exact same friend…Yet, if I delete this friend from one of those sites they will fucking cry to me like a baby - “Why did you unfollow me???” Unfollow you? What the fuck does that even mean? Why the hell was I even following you to begin with??? You’re my friend, so let’s hang out in real life. Tell me all your witty observations in person. Let me see what you’re doing rather than fucking having to read about it.
I’m not mad at my friends and I’m not mad at the fans who were following me. Everyone has been awesome. I just feel like there’s more to life than telling a million people that I’m going out to buy shoes. Everyone needs to care more about the fact that people are starving around the world and the ice caps are melting and care less about Lindsay Lohan’s jail sentence.
Go outside you guy!
It makes me sad that people still think Twitter is just for telling other people what they had for lunch.
Usually (not always!) these people just suck at Twitter. I’ve never read Steve’s Twitter so I’m not exactly picking on him because I just don’t know what he did there that was so inconsequential he had to delete his account (In fact I hear he’s a swell and funny guy - Hi Steve!). I just find it royally retarded that people still talk down to Twitter like it’s 1995 AND THE ONLINE WORLD IS JUST SO WEIRD AND TRITE AND SAD AND EVERYBODY SHOULD JUST ROLL AROUND OUTSIDE ON THE GRASS, STARE AT THE BLUE SKY AND PET UNICORNS. ALL CAPS.
It’s 2K10 and I just don’t feel ridiculous anymore because I’m talking to people online.
But really. I ate a cobb salad today and it was delicious.
