The Briar Patch

 Remember when social media used to be fun? Are you old enough for that?? I am, and it is sad to look back at it. So, I will start with some of my social media history. As is typical, it hit America first. Then it soaked into the east and Ontario. A friend out there invited me to Facebook; that was the first big one, but we can go back even further to MySpace days. I didn't really get into that one, but I did some reading, and it blew my mind at one time over 300,000 million users and valued at $12 billion. I remember that one as being music and some pictures. It was enjoyable, or at least that's what I remember. Nothing serious, no politics, but goofing around. Then there was Nexopia... I should have seen the toxic internet culture coming from there. For anyone who may need to learn what Nexopia, it was a smaller social media community started in Edmonton that is/was 95% Canadian users. When we signed up, I said we because it was myself, and a couple of roommates found out abo...

So as the first of thirty writing challenges, I am going to blog about social media. I mean I wanted to do this on its own but I will shorten it down for this challenge and rant my 5 biggest problems with this modern problem. Social Media. 1) Every clown can now say whatever they want to major audiences. I mean not me, my blog gets like 0 hits but some people can spit hate to anyone. Look at clowns like Return of Kings, retards like Roosh gain insane amounts of followers. Men who hate their lives find a spokesperson and parasites who in the past would not see the light of day become pseudo celebs. Look at white power or even black power on shit like twitter. Spitting hate towards fellow man. I don't think that is why the Internet or social media was invented. (Don't get your panties in a bunch I ain't saying it is a black or white thing I am saying any crazy group can spread. Hell look at Donald Trump!) 2) Politics. Notley, Trudeau ya these two clowns have governments i...

For Feb 14 V day as I would call it there should be March 14. Steak and a BJ day. SO for pink shirt day Feb 25th. Does it always fall on that day lets have Black shirt day! Now before ya'll get your knickers in a twist here is my reasoning. PS I wasn't serious I mean black shirt day could be any day, I just wanna state my objections to Pink Shirt Day. Before that though I do wanna say bullying is a problem. Kids killing themselves. People getting low self esteem for life. And in the more extreme cases the violence and shit is totally unacceptable and wrong! Don't read into this as go out and bully or that I at all support it but I think a lot more needs done than wearing a pink shirt. First off look at the kids doing it. Why are they doing it? First look at the home they come from. I believe all people are born a blank slate, so if they are an asshole it is coming from somewhere. If at home they are taught kindness, you will see it. Most behaviour is learned first at ho...
