What is it about this society we live in that we feel the need to tell perfect strangers everything? With vlogs and blogs, Facebook, Myspace and Twitter, to name a few, we are always broadcasting to the world everything that lives within our heads. It's not even things that are that important most of the time: OMG, I went shopping and bought the cutest pair of shoes, now I'm going to walk the dog... so on and on and on. Not that this isn't interesting (even though some peoples can be boring). It's just makes me wonder why some people decide to do it. What has changed that the realm of matress hidden diaries has transformed to one where people post it online for the world to read.
It's not just with blogging. Look at YouTube. It's all the same. Twitter, facebook, MySpace (though I think that one isn't at the top of its game). We are reaching out past the world of IRL to one where we LOL and TTYL. Now I am guilty as most others of living my life online. I have IRL friends, but I also have friends that I would never get to see much if it wasn't for Youtube, Facebook or others of the kind. There is one common ground between the internet and IRL though, and that's the longing to be heard.
I think a lot of people just want to be heard. Wither its for themselves, or if they have an important message that they want to get across. This is good. It's wonderful even, but I feel bad for the ones that arn't ever heard. The ones that even though they try there darndest, never seem to get a comment, or view, or like. It's sad. Maybe I'm bitter because sometimes I feel like one of them. I don't know. But whatever it is, I do know that not everyone can be a partner on YouTube, or have over 5000 friends on Facebook. I know this, and I accept it. But it doesn't stop me from daydreaming that one day, I will get my voice heard.Plus I want to be paid to make YouTube videos all the time.
And the tee shirts are cute. :)
