Internet Trends

Hello ! This is shoeW, my first post on this super blog. It is my aim to distract you (but not too much) !

Anyway winter hols was super fun, and I could go on and on about the Klingons and a variety of other things but let's not get into story mode too soon.

It is funny how trends and "in things" catch on. And it's even funnier on the net sometimes. Things catch on real fast and for some reason people seem more gullible online. Remember those freken stupid arse chain letters, or forward to everyone to give dying child 5 cents per email. (Don't feel insulted if you've forwarded it before, lol)

And then you even have Youtube chain comments now. Post stupid things so you don't die. Etc etc, the stupid of the stupid.

Back to net trends... (yes i'm aware blogging is a trend) net speak, emo MSN personal messages, displaying song lyrics, friendster (and friendstalk for those of us who are more privy.... oops did i say "us"?)etc. Not all of them being bad, obviously. One funny trend of note was during the time of Steve Irwin's death.... You might not see teh absurdity in this but I definitely do:


LOL... look at the freaking turtles lah. You'd think you were in Terengganu or something! Cheers to anyone who turtled out, but I just don't see the point. Not like his grieving family was consoled any further by MSN turtles!

Okay that's all for now! Cheers n God bless :)

Quotes!

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the
Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced
by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which
states that this has already happened.
In the beginning the Universe was
created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a
bad move. "
Douglas Adams

"I'm on a whisky diet. I've lost three days already!"
Tommy Cooper

"The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. But
not in that order."
Brian Pickrell

"A hen is only an egg's way of making another egg."
Samuel Butler

"By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad
one, you'll become a philosopher...and that is a good thing for any man."
Socrates

"Isn't it strange? The same people who laugh at gypsy fortune tellers take
economists seriously."
Cincinnati Enquirer

"Nature gave us one tongue and two ears so we could hear twice as much as we
speak."
Epictetus

"Life is like a role of toilet paper; hopefully long and useful, but it always
ends at the wrong moment."
Rudyh

and to end

"If you believe everything you read, better not read."
Japanese proverb
