So I have been somewhat annoyed with the chat medium lately. Not really with the medium itself, but with how people have been using it. Maybe I am just becoming a member of the old guard; I grew up using AIM. I have had the same screenname for ten years. TEN YEARS! I have been chatting under the alias "Toro412" longer than I have been a self-aware human being. Regardless, there are a few things that I feel need to be said about the chat medium, so I am going to say them, and I am going to use the blog medium. This is going to be a rant.
Stop saying "peace" when you leave unless you really mean it. I am sick of all these people I chat with who are all "I gotta go eat a bowl of ravioli, peace" when in reality they support putting up a wall between Mexico and the U.S. You can't want to build a WALL between us and anybody and then say "peace" when you are having a casual conversation with your peers. Nut up and say "war" and support your beliefs, stop pussy-footing around subject matter just because you're not at your big pro-war rally wearing your "Go Bush" cheesehead hat. If you say "peace" mean it or I will punch you in the face.
If you are going to put up an away message, please for the sake of baby Jesus do not use song lyrics that you heard on the radio. When Corey Taylor writes lyrics for Stone Sour (formerly of Slipknot renown) he is not being deep, he is being accessible. His lyrics can mean anything and that's why he is "so hot right now." He rights lyrics to make thirteen year-old girls think that somebody truly understands them...and that somebody used to wear a Hellraiser mask while he sang about his feelings.
