I have been working with a few other people to develop a new site for Facebook addicts. Facebookwhore.com is now open with most areas of the site functional. On the site you will find quizzes and surveys, images, and videos. We also have a Facebookwhore.com Facebook group open (see our site for the link).
It is with great sorrow that I write this entry, as this week hosted the very last episode of Gilmore Girls. The last episode which aired Tuesday of this week saw a few major events and/or hints of events which would be a great start to a season 8. Unfortunately we will never see this, and are left to wonder. Gilmore Girls had become one of the more highly rated shows on television, but despite this has ended its seven year run. As with many shows, people tended to either love it or hate it. Some people watched an episode in 2000 and went “Rory is cute, but could I go to jail for these thoughts?” while others thought “Lorelai is a major MILF.” Whichever end of the spectrum you were on, you ultimately decided to continue watching to see where it would take you. Seven years, and now we are enlightened. Many have undoubtedly taken a moment of silence for this loss to society, while others create tributes to the show which has carried them the latter part of a decade. Some will make blog posts. We lament the loss of a show which touched our souls, and pray to find some new way to fill the void in our hearts. Gilmore Girls, you will always be with us.
Rumor has it that Alexis Bledel was the reason behind this…. That bitch.
Do you know who this is? I’ll tell you… one dead motherfucker! Jerry Falwell died today at age 73. He was found passed out in his office. Some reports state that a Wendys classic triple burger and 5 chili cheese-dogs were also found but that has yet to be confirmed.
Words cannot describe how great this is. The world is now a better place without this fat piece of shit spreading his hate propaganda and bullshit dogma. BURN IN HELL JERRY FALWELL.
During my brief slumber of the mind extending over the past week, I have come to several realizations of human nature and the wonders of social interaction. I do not tread on this subject lightly though as doing so would depict my conclusions as amateur and mediocre and thus negate the entire point of putting effort into the spawning of this article. Unto your virgin perceptions, I implore your comprehension.
The Hapless Wannabe
During my current tenure of the gossip center in the office, I have privileged myself with the happenings of numerous staff members; many a dark secret divulged for my entertainment as hilarity ensues the telling of them to others. One such focus of my insidious and somewhat boon consideration conjures a story of lust, confusion, and hopelessness. The fellow I speak of had just recently become a single man and was quickly on the prowl for new meat. I shall henceforth refer to this character as “MrGay.” A wild life MrGay attempted to flaunt, though his claims fall short in the name of extreme boredom and predictability. As MrGay fell deeper into his inner conflict, his desperate attempts to bring out the big guns ultimately failed as his goals were most definitely non-altruistic in nature. MrGay’s libido called for a plethora of outings to night clubs in a desperate attempt to veil his true self and present the appearance of a man in control; a man who is in the game, a player of sorts. A player this man was not, and the alpha male mask he wore reduced to ruins. The unfortunate grand demise of MrGay pertains more to fundamental personality flaws and less with the false image he attempted to paint. While achieving marginal success at attracting the desired attention, his attempts to secure a mate for a purely sexual encounter met with failure. This charade continued prevalently until the descent of self-esteem nulled the drive and motivation previously required by MrGay to indulge in his activities. I must duly note that such as with many failures, MrGay managed to overcome his prehistoric instinct and procure the very female accompaniment he desired; however, using means of more respectable basis (read: the classifieds).
The Effortless Lonely
Taken by surprise the awe-inspiring extent of social networking offered by Facebook (www.facebook.com), I endeavored to test the limits of society by conducting an experiment of admittedly odd nature. I must briefly stray from the topic and describe the intricacies of Facebook as it is valuable to the overall understanding of this segment. Facebook was originally designed for college students to maintain communication and status, and was then extended to encompass the general populous. Its networking is based on different aspects of a persons real life and is generally void of random online encounters which now plague sites such as Myspace. This social experiment consisted of the creation of a female profile with no definitive or specific details aside from some subtle hints regarding promiscuous libido in an attempt to lure the crowd of which this scheme targeted. Within one day of operation, the profile received numerous friend requests and messages from males in the regional area attempting to somehow begin a dialogue lacking any real basis and merit. This seems to reflect the actions of MrGay in the previous section, though focused in the virtual world where there is significant reduction of risk to self-esteem and confidence. Undoubtedly these individuals practice their methods on a larger base with more efficiency than in environments such as a night club, though most likely yielding poorer end results. The unwillingness of these individuals to conduct their quest in a more real and controlled environment certainly casts them in a different light, as it shows a deeper reflection of the inner self and underlying motives which assists in further distinguishing between true alpha males and those who fall short. Undoubtedly striving toward self-preservation, these individuals would be more or less considered socially inept.
Conclusions And Reflections
The advent of the Internet has drastically changed, for both better and worse, the nature of social interaction. It seems to breed contempt for traditional and proper social encounters and has substituted an environment loosely moderated and with questionable demeanour. As noted in my observations above, the Internet can in fact function as a valuable social tool however only in assistance with a strong social basis in the real world. There may be minute differences in appearance between the subjects of the comparisons made here, though we must observe the vastly different methods of acting upon the “id.” There can easily be several causes for this contrast, including parental influence and living environment, but I believe these distinctions are caused by other fundamental core instincts which seem to cause varying actions in the drive for propagation.
I see these radical social changes causing a medium shift; real life social interaction slowly being replaced by the virtues of Internet socialization, notably in favour of the growing laziness in human nature. We are replacing “bar stars” with “webcam sluts” and before long, physical interaction of non-sexual nature will surely be replaced with the cold anonymity of this new virtual social reality. This seems to be one technological advance which aims to set the world back into a prelingual state ruled strictly by libido and id instead of thought and reason.
