The Hip Opinion

Well, my latest pastime has been microblogging  on facebook and other social networks.. Its  guaranteed reading and often commented on.

I thought that since I am putting considerable energy and effort into this perhaps I should post these status updates here on the blog I own… At least the blog would get more updates.

My latest brainstorm has been the continuing story of My Homeboy Jesus and our adventures.  It is a biblically based fictional storyline that just popped into my head one day.

The fist post got a lot of attention.

My Homeboy Jesus said: How bout ya let Me drive for awhile? I said: What for? He said: Cause I’m a better Driver than you dawg. I said: I dunno… See.. I can drive pretty darn good..Look here…Check, this…out……..CRASH. Right on Bro.. (handed Him the keys)

My second post was ignored (or not commented on)

My HomeBoy Jesus said: You jacked yer car, wassup? I said: I’ll tell ya. I got big plans, you dig? I’m gonna work and work, beg, borrow and save to get this bad boy rolling ASAP. He said: I can get it done for free dawg. I said; What? Come on now? He said. Trust Me Bro…

It may be too “far out” perhaps for some folks to get… Not any more in my opinion than the “Left Behind” series or the book “The Shack”

My ideas for this style of Bible based ramblings continues.. Perhaps I’ll start a new Topic on this storyline and simply post them here, then share it with a link on facebook and elsewhere.

In any case I think I’ll try to post any more other interesting microblogging ideas I come up with here at the Hip Opinion and perhaps explain myself better. I’m not sure folks are getting all this silly stuff.

And of course, it’s for entertainment purposes only

I read and an article in a magazine one time that took a survey about what trates people search for in a mate.  There were usual things such as honesty, integrity, stability… You know, all that stuff.

Then it asked about “looks” . You know, attractive people.  According to the survey most people were not that opinioated about “good looks”. They often said that “looks are really not that important.

Of course what they say and what they actually do are often very different things. People ARE concerned about looks. That’s just they way it is.

For example, if your a member of a dating website and your surfing profiles who do you think get’s the most views? E- mails? That’s right… The “beautiful people”  do.   It’s a fact…

Plenty of Fish states that some users that “have a good picture up” can get over 100 emails a day. It says that these users don’t have time to write responses to all of them even if they wanted to.

So who do they actually respond to? People they are attracted to of course.  Don’t believe me? Give it a try.

So what if your not as attractive as the next person? Well, there’s all kinds of  e-books and stuff for us guys that tell us how to “seduce” women that are out of our league. They promise that you can practice the techniches taught in their programs and pick up plenty of fish that would have never given us the time of day before.

You can see them advertised on the plenty of fish website.  The one I looked at was 27 bucks and had all the tips you could ever want. Of course I ain’t got 27 bucks.  Do you?

But the plenty of fish is free… The guy that started it is making bank. All because he saw the ridiculousness of the paying dating sites and decided to create a totally free one. Gee, why didn’t I think of that?

Hey, you ever heard of myspace ? I remember hearing those words years ago. It was brand new then and growing strong… So, I of course joined. See here !

Many web geeks then (and now) can’t stand myspace. But for all the sexual/dating/flirting/cheating computer novices that just want to have fun-You can’t beat it. It has to be the biggest free internet meat market on the net. Why join some kind of paid dating site when there are millions to choose from on MySpace. (If that’s where you go to get dates anyways)

I have been fed up with myspace in the past while having difficulties with a girlfriend that I met there. She seemed to enjoy the excitement on the website more than me. Still, I keep my profile up and check it from time to time… I sometimes promote my blogs on there to try and build my pathetic traffic stats.

Do you like to surf pages at myspace? I always find it hard to read most pages as they tend to put up all kinds of gadgets and background pictures… Gee, It reminds me of yahoo geocities. This is the reason a lot of web designers don’t like myspace.

Profits

People sure can have a good time. With all of those “theme” sites out there. So many people are cashing in on myspace’s success…Especially Myspace itself.  (800 million in revenue 2008) And, they don’t even have to add content… It’s members do plenty of that. They just monitor the datacenter and fight hackers… No need to actually write anything.

MySpace – Can’t live with it, can’t live without it. But I usually just forget it.
