Winehouse. Dead.
Celebrity deaths leave me in a soup. There are these die-hard fans who mourn like hell and cry and make a scene. The black. There are these non fans who don't give two owl hoots about Amy Winehouse and are content with their Punjabi hip hop. The White. The pseudo connoisseurs of "World Music" (Me included) have listened only to one song, "Rehab" and liked it immensely. The grey. What do I do?
I update my fb status, conveying deep condolences and wait hungrily for likes.
Before you judge the writer for making light of a poor woman's annihilation into the after life, you can't deny she brought it upon herself with that incessant drug habit of her's. Sad. (She did join the Forever 27 club though. People are literally dying to join that club).
Being a real ignoramus in the realm of Internet trends (As the last post demonstrated), I continue to dish out observations without any research as.... research. I'm not much of an email forwarding person. I archive whatever I get, see them vanish in a silent whoosh and bask in the contentment that I just occupied a few more Megabytes of them Google Hard drives.
I don't get forwards anymore.
Is it just some "I don't send you 'cos you don't send me" thing or have users actually gotten bored with forwarding emails? The writer harks back to the days of "Forward or Yahoo! will delete your account" and (With all due respect) "Two day old Jessica has Paraneoplastic Syndrome. Forward and AOL will contribute 10c".
One would naturally blame Zuckerberg and StumbleUpon for this. Found a website interesting? You put it on your wall and 'earn' likes (or +1s, Sheesh). Found a cute little Internet Meme about wannabe nerdo school girls? Put it on G+ along with your trademark #hashtag. All this criticism notwithstanding, the reader would've most probably visited this post through the link on my fb wall. What kind of a hypocritical world is this?
My hols are drawing to an unholy end and I am praying to god that I don't develop withdrawal symptoms towards the extremely, extremely sedentary lifestyle I've been leading at home.
Off to Pack. Over and out.
