MySpace is a very interesting site. I don’t remember the extent that I have written about MySpace; the fallowing are my personal experiences on MySpace (mainly from the past two weeks). Recently the word flashback has been jumping in and out of my head, so I felt like writing about it. MySpace today reminds me of what MSN chat rooms and Hotmail was all about. Now MySpace seems like a reincarnation of what both of those were five years later, and more annoying than ever.

Flashback 1

Forwards…I swear I have seen these forwards years ago. Aka they are so 1999. These forwards for the most part are new and improved, lacking the spelling and grammar errors of the Hotmail era. I don’t see why people must post dumb stuff about getting more pictures, or how Tom is going to remove your account if you don’t repost this. If anything by reposting useless stuff like that you are adding storage to the database, increasing server load, and increasing the monthly bandwidth. Now you might think ohh its just one useless bulletin it doesn’t do anything, but with 100,000 people do it, it can add up, in a hurry. And all this does is ad more ads to the page, popup ads, and make the site slower. All in all by posting stuff that is totally useless is just shooting yourself in the foot later.

Flashback 2

This comes from the days of the MSN Chat rooms. On MySpace you have a public profile for the most part, and then you get some random girl, in my case, that messages me, she’s 19, lives on the east coast. No picture of herself. And basically asks me out. After being freaked out I go look at her profile it just has useless band stuff, and not a thing about person info. After being freaked about her first message of asking me out, and I look at her page I am like okay I think I have a however old perv. Then I get a billion messages from her saying I miss you, bla. And that kind of crap. I mean seriously lets get a grip people. But after MSN closed its chat rooms I’m sure something has to replace it but MySpace almost makes it easier for freaks to get into your life. It’s amazing how many young girls put stuff on there that they shouldn’t where freaks can get to it.

Useless Observation

I haven’t exactly figured out a true point to a bulletin besides helping friends keep in touch. Besides the annoying forwards, and the useless junk, there are people who have to broadcast to the plant that they added pictures, or a new blog post. Why?! Do you need people to comment on your profile that bad? I mean seriously. The people that will comment will be your true friends that go to your profile and check it daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, etc… If someone is that dependant on comments then there is a serious problem. Another useless observation that I have discovered is how someone that you never associated in high school ads you to your friends and trys to be all buddy buddy. I graduated two years ago, and recently all MySpace has been reminding me of is a high school popularity contest of how many friends you can get. I didn’t associate with you in high school, so why now?

Anyway enough of my thoughts, I got the list below off of a useless bulletin that an actually friend of mine posted. It’s true, so I’m blogging it.

1. If you’re ugly, stop acting like you don’t know it. The captions under you picture that says “top model pose” don’t convince anyone.

2. To the people who have like 25,098 friends, are you serious? Nobody in this universe has that many friends. You’re stupid. Go kill yourself.

3. Don’t ever post pictures and say “OMG, I’m so ugly” because if you were, you wouldn’t post them.

4. Nobody cares about threats over the internet. Don’t try to act hardcore with the keyboard. Fighting online is like racing in the Special Olympics; even if you win, you’re still retarded.

5. Making 20 bulletins a day about how you have new pictures and begging people to comment on them is pathetic. Make the bulletin once if you have to, and those who actually care about you will comment on your pics.

6. If all your pictures look the same, don’t post them all. Please put some variety in your pics. Nobody wants to see your face 8 different ways.

7. Who really gives a rat’s ass if I don’t accept you as a friend? MOVE ON. Don’t send me another request or message asking “what’s up with you not adding me?” I don’t want you as a friend; that’s what’s up!

8. Little 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who have MySpace and look like sluts, go somewhere else because nobody wants you here.

9. If you have decided to read this, you are a true MySpace Friend. Real friends read their bulletins.

10. I say you go and pass this on and maybe it will finally get through people’s brains (if they have them).

11. And if you open a bulletin and it says something like “you will die in 10 days if you dont repost this,” IT’S NOT REAL! QUIT BEING FRIGGIN’ GAY!!

A few more that I am personally adding.

12. When messaging someone, ONE is enough.

13. Don’t tell me you want to go out with me, when you live ACROSS the country.

14. I said hi to you in high school to be nice…but I haven’t seen you sense graduation…you add me to your friends, um ok,…then are like we gotta hang out. WTF?!

15. I’m so super glad you have a band, and you think you are that cool. You don’t have to add me to your friends list to prove you are that good. If you are in fact that good, then just let your true fans promote you.
