WILL THIS EVER NOT BE GOOD?

WHY I HATE TUMBLR (users)

A public attack by Caroline Keefe


Tumblr.com has spawned the worst and best thing ever. While the site is user friendly and enables quick and easy sharing of text and media it is breeding a whole group of people worse than bloggers- yeah I said it, WORSE. Just when people were getting really pissed about bloggers *thinking* that they were entitled to earning reader credibility things get worse. Now any lazy self indulgent teen- or adult can create a "blog" on tumblr.com made up of meaningless shit that they think looks cool/sounds cool/is cool. But the fact of the matter is it's regurgitated and it's taking a toll on any sort of creativity ever existing again in the blog world/ general populations' minds, etc. The fact of the matter is there are people out there feeling accomplished- feeling like they have created some great unit of work that they really had nothing to do with. It's like feeling accomplished for owning a bunch of records. Yeah you own them, you listen, you have them, but you didn't do shit to help record any of them. Now I can't go anywhere on the internet without seeing someone repeating someone else's discovery of a naked skinny girl wearing cool shoes or seeing authors quoted in cool font by people that will never even read or come close to reading their books- but like the snippet sounds cool and will make them look intelligent so I guess why not, why waste time actually putting thought into anything?

And yeah I guess you could say Google sharing is the same thing, but NO it's not. It's just different- trust me. I'm not even going to bother explaining.

Let's just take the quickest route possible with everything we do from now on. It's so easy. Why even think for yourself? Everyone else will just do it for you.

let's just forget
everything said
and everything we did.
best friends, better halves, goodbyes

and the autumn night
when we realized
we were falling out of love.

there were some things
that were said
that weren't meant,
like we never did.

not to be
overly dramatic,

i just think it's best
cause you can't miss what you forget.

Am I in Puerto Rico yet?
