I'm not the man you think I am...I am a poor freezingly cold soul...I have just discovered that prudence never pays. Now, we must wait for the right time

The world is full of crashing bores...

06:39 AM

Just like the Morrissey-solo journal system.

Honestly, I've bitten my tongue too much. I remember the good old days, when we all got on. We were all a close-knit community. We all related to each other's stories. I remember the old group; Higgy, Biffo, BWTT, Smiths, DWGT, Suzanne, Haze, Havfine, Violeta, ABC, BlueGirl, Tibby. Whatever happened to that? Why did it all break up? Why has it come to THIS???

You just bore me now. Totally. Your stories say nothing to me about my life. I mean, I know I hardly write the most scintillating stories on my journal, but jees, you guys DEPRESS me! Seriously. Some of your grammar is appalling. I'm almost ashamed to be tarred under the same brush as you as Morrissey "fans". You think because you can quote one Morrissey lyric that you're the bee's knees.

I'm not going to name any names on this, because you KNOW who you are. In the old days, I'd almost be looking forward to reading virtually everyone's journal. Nowadays, you're lucky if you come across three per day that are worth reading.

This is going to cause a rift, I know it. But I just don't care any more. Because you're all so depressing! I KNOW some of you out there are agreeing with every word I say, and you may not want to comment on it on my journal. Which I understand, but hey. Some of you will think I'm bang out of order, might even be a bit hurt by my words here, and might comment on my journal saying as much. Hell, I might even lose some of my 11 "friends" I have on this. But I just don't care any more. Because you all bore me to tears.

I've already spoke to some of you about this, and you KNOW I'm talking the truth. Why can't you write something worth writing about? Something DECENT? I wonder if Morrissey's proud of his fan base. I wonder if he ever actually comes on here, and reads some of these journals. And cries. Because he must be sickened by the standard of his average fan now. Probably embarrassed. I know I am.

Over the past few months, there have been about two additions to the journals who have actually been pleasing to read. And, with so many of the afore-mentioned either deleting their journals or just stopped writing, the standard has been sickeningly poor. Which has probably washed off on the people who actually had something half-decent to say in the first place.

One strongly worded journal entry later, he hopes he comes back to some inspired writing.

  • For those exact reasons, I've stayed away myself as of late. This used to be a sanctuary for the intelligent and sensitive. Now, it holds the key to all I'll never be! It's a shell of its former self.
    Why am I still here, you ask?
    Because of that old group. Because I become bored quite easily. Because I have an addictive personality, and because I still hold a pathetic flicker of hope for this page.
    But this, like everything, seems to have come to an end. No-one posts on a regular basis anymore. But we all knew it wouldn't last, didn't we? All I can hope for, is that as this page gasps for air, others take away as much as I have from it. Years from now I'll still remember the journals. I'll still have them printed out, collecting dust, stuffed in an old shoe box in the back of my closet. I'll re-read them and think of all of you. Hopefully, in some sort of capacity, when this is completely dead, I hope to still have email contact with some of you. But that may be wishful thinking. The cliche "out of sight, out of mind" is a cliche for a reason!!!

    So I do know how you feel J, and you're not alone with those sentiments...

    Your friend,

    Haze

  • I know man, I feel your loss....
    I try and keep up with everyone-but I am either too busy and barely get my two cents in-that and everyone else has left and gone-
    I don't read too many other journalists journals on here-well anyone with Moz started at the beginning of their name anyways-its nice to see you posted though-hope your in good spirits-outside of missing the "old group".
    Well I hope the vocab. picks up-but yea-I know what you mean about the grammar and such. Very unimpressive if Morrissey or Boz were to check to see what the fan's lives were like. Oh well....life goes on.
    But take care-and hello by the way:)-haven't spoken to you in the chat or anything for awhile.
    Later Lad!:)

  • *worried* erm, am I in the line of fire here?

    I do like reading your journal, and Mr Biffo's, Smiths', Havfine's and the H Devil's (come out, come out, wherever you are!) amongst some others. I find them enlightening and amusing with a decent portion of intelligence and respect.

    I have to admit I've run dry on the journals for now and seem to use this as a jotter rather than a place to articulate my thoughts. I never had anything particularly original to say in the first place. I just regurgitated things that appealed to me and wanted to share it with like-minded souls.

    Don't worry, I'm sure this place is a passing fad for many. Hell, I don't know if I will stick around for much longer either. My misanthropy seems to be spilling over into cyber space. Hmm, I think eventually I will only be able to cope with speaking to plants.

    Take care munchkin xx

  • I can't help but feel that you're taking this all a bit too seriously. I don't think anyone here is trying to win the Nobel Prize for literature, and if something is uninteresting to you, you don't have to read it. I'm sorry if you feel that these pages ought to function as some sort of an exclusive club. I also find that trying to create "community" online with people you don't know is basically doomed to failure. The internet exists to be an enhancement of our natural lives, not a substitute for them.

  • Well, the reason I deleted my entries is because I pretty much feel the same way as you do. I realise that I might fall into that category every now and then of being boring, but really, it's not all about entertaining you. It's a form of release as well as an outlet of creativity, and it's not always going to be interesting. That's the reality. That said, ideally it would be just wonderful if all of the entries were vastly intelligent and fulfilling to read. I don't really care anymore either, but enough so that I think it's sad the way things have gotten. Why don't you just address the people you have a problem with discreetly and directly instead of writing such a strong post that is aimed at no one in specific?
