PERSONAL WEBSITES SUCK
What is up with all of these people nowadays who want to make a personal website for themselves? Personal websites are stupid self indulging bullshit. I know that my website is a personal website, but it's one of the good kinds, in which I don't just indulge in myself but I indulge in many issues...so blow me. The type of websites that I'm talking about are the kind that people plaster with pictures of themselves, their friends, an online journal, a guest book (mainly filled with congrats from their friends for making a website that a paraplegic sightless retard could make if he had a computer), and the like. The thing that gets me about these personal websites is that they all boil down to the same thing. The life of the person who created the site. And the target audience is the friends of the person who makes the website in the first place. Stop and think about that for a second. Why would you make a website that is only going to be seen by a shitload of people who already know all of this shit that's on your site about you? The sole purpose of personal websites to these people are knowing that they can actually make a website dedicated to themselves, which isn't exactely an amazing feat.

Freewebs, Tripod, Geocities, Angelfire, etc. are all websites that make creating a personal website free of charge and easy (mainly freewebs and tripod are easy considering if you can make a site on geocities at least i shows you understand html, unless you upload all of your pages). I think it's about time to get rid of all these sites that make building your website so damn easily available to every moron who feels like pasting themselves all over the internet.

The personal websites usually go like this:

 

1) MAIN PAGE

"Hi, I'm (insert name here). This is my page. Enjoy" Then off to one side you have all of the links which usually include:

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

PICS OF MYSELF

A LITTLE ABOUT MY FRIENDS

PICS OF ME AND MY FRIENDS

MORE PICS

MY JOURNAL

SIGN THE GUESTBOOK

The background is either just one color, or it's a barrage of weird pictures that make the font style and color next to unreadable. There is usually background music that almost blows your eardrums out without you being ready to take it, but not all the time. All of the links (with the exception of the guestbook) don't have a link of their own in it because the websites that sponser your personal page are too damn cheap to give you more bandwidth than you have.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

This is usually just information that no one but your friends would care about (as I stated before), but doesn't matter because all of your friends already know this stuff about you so this page is obsolete.

PICS OF ME

Pics of you that your friends took, and are yet the only ones to see them (and if some disgusting pervert of a stalker got ahold of and decided you'd be his next rape victem then you're screwed).

A LITTLE ABOUT MY FRIENDS

Again, shit only your friends care about. And if your friends like to know who your other friends are, you might as well tell them about them so you don't waste any more internet space that could be used for porn or something as equally important.

PICS OF MY FRIENDS

Your friends are usually ugly.

MORE PICS

This is usually just a filler considering you have more space but don't know what other crap to throw in here.

MY JOURNAL

An hour by hour documentation of the person's life, again is nothing more than shit that only REALLY good friends would care about. And considering you spend most of your life with them what would it matter anyways? They already know what you did all day.

SIGN THE GUESTBOOK The guestbook page usually as a "view guestbook" or "sign guestbook" link in it. The guestbook is signed by just friends with nothing better to do, and most of the entries in the guestbook read as follows:

Awesome site!!! U rock!!! lol!!! Well, Ill talk to you later!!!

Great job on the site. It must've taken awhile to do
yeah I bet Good job

Guess who!!! Lol!!! Your site is so cool!!!

Damn those pics of yours are so goddamn hot, I just wanna suck your cock right now
At least that's what mine said.

Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwn! That's pretty much what personal sites all boil down to. How boring, how unoriginal, how shitty. I don't know why most of these sites have a counter that you can put on your site considering a majority of the time the only person who goes to your site is...yourself just to check to see what it looks like. No one would keep coming back to it because it's just the same boring nothing. At least with my site I can update with something new and original. What can these personal websites have updated to them? More pictures? Another boring online journal entry? Nothing, that's what. On top of being boring and pointless, the font is unreadable, the background is usually too bright, and the words and pictures are off center and mixed up, making the site not very pleasing to the eye.

I'll wrap this article up with a little story. Someone I knew (I wouldn't consider her a friend considering she's a major manipulative bitch) told me that they have a personal website that had been up for only two months. She told me how many hits her site has had since it was up, which to my surprise was three times as many as mine had (mind you this was six or seven months after I first made my site). Bullshit. There's no way her website could have had more hits than mine had, no way. It was obvious she was lying considering who the hell would even want to go to her site? She's a bitch. Adding to this she told me that some guy kept coming to her site over and over again every day to see what new and amazing stories she added to her journal because he enjoyed reading about her life and the tragedies she faced. What?! Tragedies? Bullshit. She's the whiney spoiled daughter of a $75,000 a year military father who gives her everything she wants for free. She has a boyfriend (who I must say looks like a monkey, who's pictures belond on rotten.com), she had her liscence the day she turned 16, her dad lets her use their car all the time (wouldn't be surprised if he gave it to her), you go out all the time with friends, you don't need a job considering your dad makes over twice as much money as my dad makes, etc. Yeah, real tragic my ass. What's so tragic about your life? The fact that your idiot boyfriend of two years (my now ex best friend) dumped you? As far as I can remember, it took you two days before you finally got a new boyfriend, you broke up with him three times before the two of you finally called it quits, you treated him like shit, got mad at him for the stupidest things, etc. This guy who goes to your site to read the amazing darkness that is your mind and soul must have all the personality of a brick. You're an idiot, he's an idiot, you're all idiots. Eat me.
