Holden: If the buzz is any indicator, that movie's gonna make some huge bank.
Jay: What buzz?
Holden: The Internet buzz.
Jay: What the fuck is the Internet?
Holden: The Internet is a communication tool used the world over where people can come together to bitch about movies and share pornography with one another.

This is blog number 6 perhaps? A lot of failed blogs, one that ran for a good chunk of my high schooling (that I now keep hidden due to god knows what stupid shit I put up there). I've been thinking about Mee Against the World for a long time. I used to do Facebook notes but those fucking pissed me off after a while. Well really they didn't but you just never know what you can write on Facebook anymore. Everybody's gotta be your friend and since you're in, or past, your mid-20's you have to think about their feelings too. So a blog is nice because I don't have to put my name up and can maintain a little anonymity. Of course, I love the attention so I'll be milking the Facebook aspect and thus kinda paradoxing myself.
Starting shit on the internet is always a weird experience. There's these little hoops that we jump through to get things from the internet. If you buy off iTunes then usually once a month you're completely ignoring a 50+ page contract and clicking a box saying that you've read understand the damn thing. Starting this blog I had to type out one of those word-image things that validify my existence. As I'm finding more and more I couldn't freaking read it. So I clicked the handicap button, which by the way what the fuck is up with that? I mean it's not that I'm in a wheelchair and I can't read this thing, it's that it's unreadable. The vocal translation that is made for physically disabled people and regular old retards like myself wasn't even a word, it was numbers over creepy vocal effects.
I'm sure the internet drives everybody a little crazy but like any technology that we come to rely on or life in general we gotta put up with it. Maybe that's why blogs came about, expression is key. People need people to talk to, I'm finding that more and more, the hermit's lifestyle is only for the extremists, and when we can't talk to somebody because it's Sunday morning and you'd rather blare some George Jones then call up somebody (a concept that died to my generation with our first cell phones) and texting isn't something I'm eager to do either right now. So we blog to express and why do we need to express? Because the internet is fucked.
