Online 'Friendships'

Okay so the internet is a magical place, clearly there's a lot more potential for "good" friends, while at the same time still more potential for "bad" friends. Now before I go into explaining my rather descriptive theory of friends, let's get a basic list thing together.

1) Good friends: These are friends that are seriously just friends! There's no better way to explain it then a person who just wants to laugh and joke with you, while still offering you advice and a chance to vent!

2) Bad friends: These are friends who want to use you. They're not talking to you because they like you, but because they're stalking you, trying to get in a relationship with you, or simply trying to get stuff from you!



Now does this mean it's that simple? No. Not at all. It does mean however, that we've got some sort of guideline. And I love those. So now you might ask yourself, well isn't that just like a friendship in person?

It's not, the simple fact is the magical world of the web can offer this haze that our normal senses just can't detect! Basically we're stuck with tunnel vision. We can only see what is put in front of us, and not the broad spectrum of signs that a person could give. Sadly we live in a world where lying is a natural defense, and over the web, it seems an even easier place to fall prey to someone else defending themselves.

Does this mean it's excusable? Of course not, but it also means that it's not necessarily someone's sinister plot to ensnare another. I read in an article at the dentists office the other day, "Most lies are told in an attempt to simply be 'nice' to another person." And yeah, it's true.

Think about the last small fib you told. Was it to purposely hurt someone? Of course not. We don't generally lie with malicious intent. We lie to save ourselves or to spare someones feelings.

So truly if you look at the net objectively. You'll easily find that it's a well of bad in terms of friends, but at the same time. If you keep it purely over the web, you're bound to find that it can be a very good place to find good friends! Sure you can't see them, and perhaps you're restricted to playing video games and chatting on the various messengers with them,

But in the end is there really anything more fun then a 4 am FPS play while totally intoxicated?

And yes fair enough, with a friend actually there it's probably just as fun. But at 4 am. Xbox live can be the only friend you need!

Rant!

I'm keeping this one short as I've got a lot of -Christmas related- stuff to get done.

So we'll start with a tiny rant.

A lot.

Those are the words that are said as, alot. Yet it's wrong. Infact... Another one.

WHY!? Why can't I type it Infact? Why does it have to be, In fact. And instead of alot, A lot. I mean wtf?

Also shaving experiment... It's still not itching! And my blade is saved another day!

The Shaving Experiment.

Upon my most recent adventure to the nearest Target, I had a discovery. Razor blades for my razor cost EVEN MORE! than buying a whole new razor! I mean wtf? One costs 8 dollars. The other costs 14 dollars. Sure I get two extra blades than with the new razor... But isn't something new and complete supposed to be worth more? It was rather shocking!

So I decided, I wasn't going to buy a new set of blades.

As opposed to that I was going to simply test something.

Starting two days ago, I have changed out my blade. I have had this blade for about 16 days now. And I am going to keep it in until I find it no longer offers me the close shave I need!

And by close I mean I am growing out my hair for a day or so between each shave!

How long will it take for me to grow frustrated and cave into the ridiculous price for something that should be as cheap as toilet paper? I don't know, but hopefully time will determine such!

And You Thought Titles Weren't Witty!

So here it is, my first in a series of new blogs designed to see if I can actually write interesting things.

So what better way to write the first blog than by explaining just what I like! Of course if you want that finely detailed list, you have to wait. Here's the random information you should take with you. I'm a lovely Californian male who does NOT simply say, "Well I'm a waiter soon-to-be actor." So for those of you who think that's what all Californian's (Man if only I could use Arnold's accent) You're WRONG.

What can you expect? Well nothing. Honestly I'm not here to please you, I'm here to write about the large list of things I love, love to hate, and like! I've blogged before (Really these days who hasn't fcking myspace.) and perhaps you'll favorite me and find that every day I come out with something new or interesting you DIDN'T know.

List of things: (I told you it'd be detailed... I lied. My bad.)

Xbox 360
Assorted types of rock
Chia pets (Seriously? Are you fcking kidding?)
The interwebz
Anime
Movies
Xbox 360 (Yeah I did purposely list this twice.)
Life's assorted wonders! (No, really.)



So there it is. The majority of what I'll be posting. And yes I'll read *some* comments. At least the ones I like. The others. Well you'll fade into what we in the blogging world call (annoying). So yeah. Good luck there!


Next issue: Xbox Live, fun, friendly, totally fcking racist.
