So apparently to be accepted around here you need to blog. I have over one thousand "friends" on this site. I belong to over twenty groups . I post comments on an almost daily basis. But because I do not like posting my private thoughts publicly, or well semi-publicly I don't make the grade.
So I wonder is this not a community of people who are supposed to be on the fringe , eclectic , artsy, intelligencia ? You know the sort normal white bread vanilla folks used to despise and beat up. once upon a time the popular cool kids used to shun the pierced , the tattooed, the fans of strange music and offbeat fashions. Those few those insecure those dare we say geeky used to cluster together for strength and a sense of community. Now it is cool to have tattooes and piercings and listen to punk and alt rock and wear outlandish things . So what develops but a caste system within the formerly alternative crowd where we have the pretty, cool,and popular freaks ( I am using the term with love as opposed to derision here) and then the layers down to the ugly, smelly, and shunned.
What I am trying to get at here is maybe a bit more openness would be nice. Not that I haven't met some great people here and I love this site very much . However I just feel like the outsider geek all of a sudden and I really feel a sense of extreme irony that I am getting that here . Does this make any sense at all ?
Thoughts people. If I have to blog this shiite out then I might as well make it interesting

I agree with you completely. This blogging just cause you have to is silly and I think its unnecessary
