Birthdays.
I'd like to attribute all the series of unfortunate events today to 'bad hair day' but I realized that I don't have much of 'hair' to talk about. I can't really attribute my bad luck to something that I don't even think exists, right?
It's not just you, but you and you and you and you and you and you and you and them. I don't really know what I'm talking about but I just kinda realized that I have 2 main points today:
1) Facebook.
I've recently taken to changing my birthday every week. Like, today is March 10, and my birthday is March 10. I'm going to update my birthday to read as March 17 or something similar soon enough.
And I hope everyone starts spamming my Facebook wall all over again.
It's weird because people you hardly talk to in real life, or on MSN, or whom you don't even have on MSN start sending birthday greetings.
It's weird because they never bothered to find out whether it's really the case or not. I mean, normally if I see someone's birthday coming I'd just drop him a message on MSN, and if he responds then good enough, I don't have to post on his wall and make my presence known. I'd rather wish someone on MSN than through just Facebook, you can see how boring it can get when you're scrawling on someone else's wall and wait for a reply. It's like writing emails, except shorter ones, and you send and wait, except that you're not waiting for a reply, you're waiting for that person to dao you.
You just want to wish the recipient a happy birthday, then move on in life, feel better about yourself like 'I wished my ex-friend happy birthday', and this emotional masturbation keeps you glowing for the rest of the day. It's all fake, but it works. As long as it makes you feel better about yourself, you're not making a loss--so why not just post the damned message?
Sincerity comes in many forms, and Facebook wall posts does not count as one of it.
Though, honestly speaking, I am quite shocked by the amount of people writing on my wall. It's weird but it was flattering. But thinking about the points mentioned above is a major turn off--perhaps they do that for everyone.
And I do that too =\
We're all humans in need of tender loving care by other humans be it male or female or both.
The second point isn't really a point and it isn't directed to anyone I've ever met in real life.
It is understandable how humans have always been able to protect themselves whenever possible. But sometimes I try to guide you into the topic but you're simply inert. And then you blame it on me and claim that I'm not letting you know enough. You don't even ask, where do I begin?
