Dear Internet Pt.II
Hello internet, this is one of your follows DrGamez here. I'm writing on behalf to inform you of the fact you seem to have bored me.
Don't get me wrong, you have always brought me much glee. When I first came to your doors I only thought there was geocities and yahoo, but now I know there is much, much more. You showed me AIM, YIM, ICQ, and IRC.
I made internet 'friends', people I would never meet, and for a time it was good. Then I found e-mail could be a more formal way of dicussing. From e-mail I found mailing groups, then even newsgroups.
Then I found the porn. Oh, you hid it from me well my early years, but I thank you for having so many flashing banners.
After which I found internet message boards, where I could create a "profile"; I could become this DrGamez person I always tagged on the internet. I soon began posting, saddened but intruiged at how fast the boards I posted at died out, or took before going into idleness.
You showed me the world of pirating software, no longer did I have to think of paying $400 for a vector animation tool I would use maybe once to impress a teacher. No longer did I have to wait for a overpriced CD-Key to be e-mailed to me to unlock the feature I wanted.
As my knowledge grew my internet skills did as well. I learned your language, HTML and CSS. While your newest tongue of XML seems a bit foriegn to me, I might go and pick that up one day as well. Your languages helped my own sites grow as well, and by then I have created one your best inventions, the blog.
Here I could post whatever I wanted, and with no real reason. Hell, you are the internet, but I own that website. Nobody can take that from me.
Then I found genmay. From the early noob bashings, to the furry bashing, to the bit of respect I earned, and now here I have stuck this one out.
Thank you internet for giving me so many things to do and be thankful for, but I come to you today with a grave message:
You are boring me.
It hurts to say but I haven't had a good invention or new discover for a couple of months now. Sure I found the fun of MMORPGs, but I need something that doesn't cost money. I need somethign that will recreate the thrill of my first message board post, or my first index.htm.
Please Internet, I need something new.
Sincerley,
DrGamez
