Welcome to the rant page... I talk about stuff that pisses me off... Hmm... I never know what to say... I've never been a great conversationalist... yet I'm one of the people who use AIM... I'm not particularly proud of it, but I do log on every now and then... but whenever I go on... I have no clue as to start a conversation, as well as no clue how to keep a conversation alive... when someone does IM me.. I wonder what it is they want... granted some people I don't mind, but I still have no clue how to carry my end of a conversation.. it's eerie and wrong... yet I trudge through with the best I can do and find that I fail more often than I should... I should be talking to other people that are online... and I see them online.. yet I have no clue what to say... and if I do IM them... I don't have a purpose to talk in the first place... it's rather laughable because it's somewhat pathetic... but this has me thinking to myself... am I the only one who has problems conversing with other people? If that's so then why is AIM so popular?... is it just another tool for the phoneline generation to get there fix when there bill gets too much? or when they run out of minutes?... I don't use a cellphone, let alone use the regular landline phone... at least not if I can help it... because on the phone I'm worse than I am on AIM.. at least on AIM I have a delete key or a CTRL-Z Key (Complete with Dancing Bears) Still I think and I wonder if I'm not alone out there regarding the inabtility to be sociable online... let alone offline... I've come to the conclusion that most of the time I am the king of awkward... I suppose I should try to find a scapegoat for my failings, but that's just it... how can I expect to blame someone else when it's mainly or all my fault... and that'd be overly lame... Feh, I'm done here... see ya next update.. take easy 'til then... - Tiki Man
