Facebook can be whatever you want it to be. It’s a promotional tool, a way to keep in touch with family members, a space for lifestreaming your every move, or a community forum for meaningful discussion about a specific topic.
But sometimes, it all just gets too overwhelming to deal with. You have 1500 Facebook friends from all walks of life - why? Those social ties expired long ago. So what’s the point of holding onto that one last digital thread?
Last week Jenni Prokopy, a Chicago-based health care expert, freelance writer and founder of ChronicBabe.com, posted a status update that directly addressed this issue. With about 800 friends, Prokopy realized that her Facebook profile had become totally cluttered. “I started my Facebook a few years ago when there were no business pages,” Prokopy says. “People knew who I was online from ChronicBabe.com, so they started to friend me on Facebook. And I was just trying to build my online community so I said yes - and everyone was like yeah, build your online community! And so I did.”
THIS IS A FAILED TEST
I’ve been a long time follower of Smoking Popes, since the day I stole a cassette tape of their Destination Failure album (I bought their cd after that little heist :D). The moment I listened to it I fell in love with the band and I fell in love in melodic punk music a.k.a. pop/punk, that’s why when I got the chance to listen to this latest effort I suddenly felt sad. I just can’t understand why did they/he do that. I mean I have no complain if Josh Caterer would write a song from a perspective of a teenager, that’s fine with me. The melodies’ a bit odd, kinda suck I think and I expect more than this. I know you just want to experiment or try something different but for me this is a failed album. It didn’t give justice to the Popes signature I’ve loved a long time ago. I just wish you go back to your old self and start the experiment from there. Well anyway I’m still a fan and will always be. Goodluck to you guys! Looking forward for your next release, a better one I hope. :D
P.S.
I believe the last track “Letter to Emily” is the only true blue popes sound. that’s why I posted it here.
Silent all these years… you forbid yourself for a total happiness by simply being you.
