Loading ...What Does Reading This Web Site Say About You?
By Evan ~ September 10th, 2007. Filed under: world news.
According to this CNet article, the web sites a person visits say as much about them as the clothes they wear and the cars they drive. For example, the author of the article suggests that if you are a frequent MySpace visitor, you are between the ages of 11 and 35, you have never quite grown up, and you are strongly influenced by alternative music. Also MySpace visitors are, “united in their homemade haircuts, abhorrence of popular fashion and fondness for obscure electropunk. Typical MySpace users treat their profiles like a sandbox: a place where they can escape the real world, find themselves and make friends.”
Sounds like a fun experiment, right? I bet I could easily describe the kind of person who reads this blog. You are a male between the ages of 18 and 30. You hate life–and I don’t just mean you’re a bit jaded–I mean you really hate life. You’re pretty much despondent. You probably live with your parents, and if you don’t live with your parents you live alone. You’re a typical jeans-and-t-shirt wearing guy who looks down his nose at anybody clad in anything remotely stylish. You are united in your rising hairlines and abhorrence of popular anything. Typical Swan Fungus readers treat their friends like shit; they are dart boards for zingers and maybe caustic drunk remarks that hit a little too close to home. Swan Fungus readers love comedy and music, but hate just about everything else the world has to offer.
Sure it sounds like I’m a self-loathing asshole, but really, I love my life. For the amount of complaining that occurs on this forum, I really can’t be happier. There’s nothing more invigorating than drinking the afternoon away and watching the sunset from a new vantage point. Maybe it’s the alcohol speaking, but I’m discovering fascinating new things every day. And this is totally unrelated to the unusual conversations I find myself having with new people. I had my fortune read on the phone this morning when I thought I was searching for an apartment. It was slightly perturbing to have a stranger predict my future and delineate my character by using uncommon astrological data, but it was equally enthralling…not that I take any stock in that bullshit. Whatever. The point is, life is good.
What’s more…Free pizza tonight!
