No Sympathy for Myspace

No Sympathy for Myspace

It's dying. It has been for a while. Just put yourself out of your own misery Myspace.

I hate to break it to you but the days where you could boast nine digit population rates is long gone and you're nothing more than a soap box for most nowadays. Facebook has long since been considered the King of social networking and since it's IPO it's been nothing if not embedded in the welfare of the very economy that invested so much to make it. Facebook has become us. We lose Facebook, the economy takes a hit. We stop using Facebook, the economy takes a hit. Embedding Facebook as an IPO was a good long term move on Zuckerberg's part but it's gonna take a while for Social Networking to die as a result and may cause the economy to fall if it does. Odds are it won't.

Social networking happens every day and is many people's "hustle" and, for many, requires the discipline of a steel wrecking ball. That was not a Miley Cyrus reference. Anyways.

Myspace is but a shadow of its former self and has long since been cast in the shadow of Facebook.

I'm really sorry you have to die Myspace, but such is life.

Serial Killers

Serial Killers

This one should be a no-brainer (no pun intended) and yet I still find people who sympathize with individuals such as Jeffrey Dahmer, the Creek River Killer, the D.C. Sniper, and Marilyn Manson.

Now, i'll be the first person to tell you that if you think these people are deserving of any sympathy, you're wrong. They're like me, but worse. They not only have no sympathy, they have (arguably) zero emotion left.

They're your definition of a "cold-hearted" killer in that their passion has gone from a burning fire to a cold icy hearth. 

Serial Killers seem to have lowered their inhibitions to the point where they're willing to kill other individuals but they're not willing to kill themselves, unlike shooting sprees which tend to result in both killing others and oneself. This idea is a bit ironic when discussing human nature considering that most individuals that take their own lives haven't ever killed someone else. 

Can't Appreciate Traffic So....

Can't Appreciate Traffic So....

Man do I hate Traffic. Honestly, I can't stand it. Evry time i'm about to hop on the freeway at around five-o-fucking clock premiering midnight I realize to myself that there is a SEA of cars between me, and my way home. 

Just what you need at the end of the day right?

I'll usually hit the radio but the News just reports to me the accidents, the deaths, the injuries, the lanes, how to get where quicker, but in the end it usually takes a solid 1-2 hours to get home at rush hour.

If only I could simply just gradually reduce traffic much quicker like when they add additional lanes to the freeway to ease traffic congestion.

Wish I could do that with my mind.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez was built notoriety for himself largely by building notoriety for the literary genre known as "magic realism" and oftentimes set his story in the fictional village of "Macondo" and Garcia Marquez often explored the theme of Solitude. 

Gabriel's use of magical elements in otherwise realistic situations built a genre that people could truly feel a strong yearning and desire for as escape is always a large desire for readers. Gabriel Garcia Marquez became a Nobel Prize Winner in 1972 for his work, "100 Years of Solitude."

Yesterday, at the age of 87, Gabriel passed away due to Pneumonia in Mexico City.

At this, the Colombian president Juan Manuel Santos mentioned: "One Hundred Years of Solitude and sadness for the death of the greatest Colombian of all time".

Global Murder Rates Drop, Americas Still "Violent"

Global Murder Rates Drop, Americas Still "Violent"

Honduras currently has the highest murder rate in the world with the city of San Pedro Sula boasting a murder rate of 90.4 out of every 100,000 people, 15 times the likelihood of murder for the average human being.

There is no such thing as heaven in a city like San Pedro Sula as it would seem. Hell is a place on earth, and its name is San Pedro Sula.
