As I’ve left this place pretty dusty, I feel as though I should give an explanation.
In short: I didn’t want to be mean.
When you have nothing nice to say… blah blah blah.
Recently I’ve had an epiphany:
Eff that.
So here it is, bullet style:
- The infamous song tells us that the internet is for pron, but really, if you look around here, it’s for advertisements, recipes, “expert” opinions and photography sites. Nothing is original.
- Over-sharing is the new flannel shirt; tell me all about your dinner, your date, your body functions, all before I really know your name or if I like you.
- Advice might be the new over-sharing; all people need is the ability to program a little CSS, a thesaurus and WHAM, instant ADVICE MAVEN.
- The word maven is far too over used on the internet.
Despite all of the above, the internet is still a place where a jock can bond with a nerd over a tweet, an at home chef can admire those photographs taken with cheap glass, a writer can read better material on a poster on Pinterest and where we can all have a little space to bitch about our bosses, family, friends and pets.
Fantastic.
