Max Bump Thing

OK, I have to post this before I let it eat me up.

I'm honestly annoyed by this site: Max Bumps - The Sixty One Fan Blog

The ironies are thick.

It's annoyed me the past two days. It's so unlike me to be bothered by something so childish but this stung me for whatever reason. I had built out a big huge blog post ranting and raving. Before posting I talked to Crap Mariner, someone who is not afraid to rant, and would you believe that the person I expected to have my back talked me down instead? He said the things that I normally would think in this situation, he said the things that I would have told a friend struggling with the same feelings.

I'll just post the link to the site and be done with it. Time to move on back to the positive, fun, energized thoughts that my involvement with the61 has brought so far.

It scares me when I am the Voice Of Reason.

I think it scares others, too.

Referring to those 'what do you think of SL avatars' questions? Most funny answer, the guy (or girl?) that said 'there is that much beauty in real life, go out and capture that'. 50% of the (non-avie) avatars are either illustrations they ripped somewhere off the web, something (ugly) photoshopped, or a not so flattering photograph of themselves. Ah well. Also the one that says that it takes human interaction away from the site. Yeah. Sure. I feel more comfortable bumping a huuge solarized dog with a text balloon than bumping an avatar. Human interaction with that dog was great. *sighs*

(Or something else that pissed you off?)

Nope, you nailed it.

My real annoyance isn't really with the answer - it's more with the question. It's so out of place, off the wall and meaningless. WTF does an icon have to do with a song's musical strength or with a listener's music preferences? Nuts.
