General opinions

Hello.

ClockOur article of the day is going to be really interesting, even though it might seem a bit ordinary and used up. Actually, it isn’t, it can never be. Guess why? Someday, you will leave …it will stay (The subject that is). The very subject of this article pushed me to write about it. In a simpler way, it is Time that forced me to think about writing something new, because it’s Time I updated my blog with a fresh text. Enough with blurry introductions already. While contemplating my near future yesterday night, more precisely my heading back to school in a few days, thoughts led me to think about, more like be reminded of the power of Time. It controls every action we take, every action we do not take (the decision of which being directly affected by it), and even every thought we process. Because, every tiny step you take is dependent of and conform to the measures of Time you have in mind for the day. Hell, you probably kept in count the time you’re going to spend reading this, before moving on to something else, that will consume even more and more time that you have and are spending.

I can’t remember the last time i stepped into my town without getting an average of ‘hundred camera flashes right in the face per second”…everyone’s so concerned about taking photos wherever they go as if they need a proof that they’ve been there. Everyone seems to let down the real value of using a camera, which is in my opinion (letting aside the fact that there are professional uses of a camera), a very simple way to capture timelessly motionless moments of your life in order to bring back three dimensional frames in your mind whenever you look at them again (in the future) and that’s something YOU only care to do, (ignoring retardation) there’s no interest in showing everyone (disincluding your wife and kids in like 20 years or so ? ) photos that wouldn’t stimulate but fake and impressive three dimensional frames of a memory that belongs to YOU, and that’s how it starts, when you have a zillion mega pixel camera with a blinding flasher and a set of incredible editing abilities, you start taking pictures of the places you go to and the activities you do and post them here and there on social networking websites just so people from the same level of retardation get into your albums and get impressed by how glowing and glamorous you looked on that night and in that place, ignoring the fact that you might only had smiled to the camera when you probably were feeling neutral for being in a place that would make you seem so “neat” just because everyone visits it and just because it helps you seek loads of attention, that’s how people get blindly obsessed with dressing and impressing, wasting hours taking pictures on a machine that we became slaves to while WE made it ONLY to make things easier for us… i think i should be copy pasting the last sentence into another note where i replace the word “machine” by “god”, anyway…
it was really rude how i played the role of a party pooper, screwing up this global photo sharing race using a little feature in a huge social networking illusion that will probably get DDOS’ed (search google for more info) by a group of great people who are TRULY free.

Serouj.

While friendlily signing in to my msn account today morning, ‘Windows Live Today’ popped up like the annoying useless software plugin it is and, of course, I unconsciously hovered my mouse pointer over to the X button as soon as possible. But, right before I went on and pressed it, I caught a glimpse of a title that figured on its Main Window, with a small thumbnail of a grotesquely gay face. The title said : “Robert Pattinson : Give me a break!” Not that I had heard of the loser whose name was in the title, but the snapshot next to it seemed to be obviously taken from a lame-ass movie, so I directly figured it was the girl-guy from Twilight. Anyhow, the title got me intrigued, so I went on to the MSN website to read what he meant by that. As an introduction, they said (quoting from the said article) :

The world’s most desired vampire cannot take it any more! Robert Pattinson can no longer bear to be hunted down by swarms of “Twilight” fans every time he steps foot outdoors.

twilightI can’t believe it. For one tiny second I thought the guy had finally put some brain into his head and started begging people to get some of his dignity back, as a demand for forgiveness for that atrocity of a role (s)he’d taken in a this diarrhea-shit of a movie called Twilight. I actually believed he decided to be a man for once and tell off all those people who trash him and his sissy role that had put him in that endlessly dignitiless, manliness-less abyss. Also, I wanna see him actually get what he wants and ‘relax from all of this fans pressure’ and all. Do you really think he’d prefer to return to the lonely nobody he was before he got to act in a movie? I don’t think so. So, hey dumbass, stop whining and try to be useful in some way, no one is buying your shit.

And don’t even get me started about Twilight. I’ve never seen a more corny, cheesy, common, and internally irrelevant shell of a movie, with such a brainless and uninteresting plot and scenes. I couldn’t tolerate watching half the thing, five minutes through it and I felt like vomiting.

Robert Pattinson is gay. Twilight is pure crap.

I was thinking of a word to describe the new Facebook as is currently, and I couldn’t come up with a more convenient word : Boring. Because, in fact, what is Facebook all about nowadays? Every time I log in I get a nausea because of all the  highlighted, spaced out spam my friends threw on my homepage, ranging from all kinds of stupid applications and games, to allegedly self-confidence boosting quizzes that make their takers feel better about their lifeless lives, and last but not least, the infamous new wave of polls where practically anyone is allowed to make a poll about himself and his friends (usually being a comparison between him and a couple other people to see who gets more votes… WHY THE HELL WOULD I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT THAT? ). I mean, seriously, what kind of shitty-ass “news feed” is that? Is this what I really log in for?

Previously, Facebook was all about a couple main things: Photos / Videos, notes, and groups. The latter, in my opinion, was the most active and highlighted among them. I mean, besides sharing photos and videos and stuff, making groups for discussion and spread of thought grew to become one of Facebook’s best features back then, until the admins decided to give their site a totally new look in summer 2008. It still was kind of okay because the site’s purpose was still almost the same. But then, it seems like they got trigger-happy about the whole design / layout thing, and kept on changing the way the site looked until they finally settled on this new layout shown above, making the homepage dull and boring like never before, all in service of the mainstream, and in order for it to be more dumb-user-friendly. What began as a professional social network slowly morphed into a stupid children’s toy / fun site. With Twitter rocketing through the cyber world, and quickly gaining more popularity and credibility in its domain, with its extreme simplicity and practicality (I mean, what’s more simple than just having to post updates, or “tweets” as dubbed on the site, to notify your friends / followers of what you’re up to?), I think the Facebook staff ought to pick their scattered concepts up and get back on the right road because it seems like they’ve got one hell of a competition waiting ahead, and it’s already taken place. I already like Twitter a lot, for one simple reason: They don’t force me to put up with all the shit everyone else threw on my homepage, it’s just plain simple -useful- updates.

Facebook is getting not only boring, but really annoying. I’m starting to really hate it.
