Day 1.

So, this blogging thing is kind of new to me. Is it an everyday thing? Or when something catches my eye do I just start blogging about it. Because let me say, if I blogged about every single thing that caught my eye, I would have pretty much no time for anything else. 
Anyways, today I was thinking about people. Mostly the people in my life. I was scrolling through my buddy info on aim, with the annoying little info buttons on the right. So I clicked them just so they would go away, and of course, after clicking them, the person's buddy info pops up. It's amazing, half of the people on my buddy list have calendars of what they're going to be doing for the next month or two. But honestly, how many people want to know what this person will be doing on September 16th? If your close to that person, just ask them. And If they're doing this to keep track of their dates, then why does everyone else have to see it? Is it just some way of letting everyone know that they have a life? Because honestly, if it takes that much to let the people around you let you know that  you have a life, then you really don't have one do you? 
Next, everyone has these status messages about what's going on in their life. The majority of these one-liners are about how 'friendly' these people are. Like someone putting on their status message, "Omg, I have to get Michelle a birthday present (she's making me write this)". Seriously, what's the point of a message like this, just so that everyone around you will know that your close to Michelle? Besides, it doesn't really help Michelle at all. And the pathetic part is that it's totally see through. Your only doing it to make yourself seem more important. And more then that, it's really annoying when people talk about people no one else knows. Like one of the boys talking about the new people he met on his soon to be freshman high school basketball team. He just wants to let the rest of us know that he's making friends. Well great for him, but if his new "friends" are as interesting, then would he really have time to care about making the rest of us feel like social rejects next to him? Well yay for you dude, you made your friends feel like losers, congrats. 
Anyways, I guess the last thing that's really bugging me about the internet postings of my friends, are the fact that they all have not only a facebook, but a myspace, a tumblr, a twitter account, a blog, and anything else you can name. What's the point? Do they really think that by posting their pictures and intrests on 5 different sites, it makes them that much more important? If you have 5 different sites that people pretend to love because they think your "cool", does that mean you actually are? And seriously, what 14 year old has so much information to share with the world, that it takes 5 different accounts to do it. Or is it just people being vain? And the people that do this, are also the ones with 3 different screen names. And in addition to these screen names, they all have their actual names in their screen name. Are they afraid we're going to forget or something? It seems like half of them just like seeing their name plastered everywhere. But if they keep it going, their names really will be plastered everywhere, and not for the best of reasons if you know what I'm saying.
