"Break ups 2 Make ups Myspace Style:
yea, this goes to every fuckin person on this network" (first draft)
by Jesse Wang
A couple days after my girlfriend and I seperated and parted ways, I found myself unable to resist the overwhelming urge to look at her profile on myspace.com. To my astonishment, my Ex had deleted all the pictures of me, removed me from her friends list, and (here's the killer) changed her status from "In a Relationship" to "Single". When I first saw her alterations to her profile, I literally screamed out loud, "that gutter slut beat me to it". In retaliation, I quickly changed my marital status. If its over on myspace, its over for ETERNITY. haha
In the vast world of friendly networking, this is an all-too-common scenario. Breaking up used to be as simple as saying "its not you, its me". Oh, how sweet life used to be. Breaking up in today's digital world has certain procedures that need to be followed religiously. The aftermath of the wireless age is clearly evident to me, now that I caught myself being a victim of the communications era.
A common post-breakup practice is to Erase the Ex from the face of the Earth. No fool, I'm not talkin about hiring a Polish hitman. Im referring to the digital murder of the Ex, by severing all possible contact. How many times have you tipped back one-too-many at the bar and "accidently" scrolled down your phone book and called that one person you told yourself you would never call again, the Ex? Everyone I know has made drunk phone calls to a past flame and regretted it in the morning. Think about it......If your Ex does not want to talk to you during the day, what gives you the impression that she would be happy to hear from you at 4:15am under a mask of beligerant inebriation? yeah...burn. Just delete your Ex from your phone, palm pilot, blackberry, chalkboard, whatever...
Personal websites, online communities, online diaries, blogs, networking. The Internet has become an incredible medium for people to keep in touch without actually making direct contact. its brilliant, actually. Don't act like you've never looked at your Ex's Facebook account.
Stalker. An Ex is someone you once shared your life with, so...naturally, we have a burning desire to see "how they are doing", and more importantly, "what they are doing". Your Ex knows about this desire, for he/she has it too. They will post up pictures of the new lover, the new car, the new house and they will write blogs about how happy they are, their new job, and how they won the lottery....because they know you are reading.
I still get mass emails from an old ex-girlfriend....she recently sent me pictures of her wedding. i told the bitch to stop sending me emails, but she just wont take me off her mass email list. looks like she wants to make sure i know how happy she is. The Internet allows us to silently tell your former partners that "hey bitch, im good without you." But it also allows us to convey a different message, a message of loneliness, sadness of your abscense, of missing someone. how many of you guys have broken up with someone and then a week later read their Xanga page and decided to give them another chance? Was it because you read something that made you think that your Ex misses you? Its harder to say "i miss you" in person than it is on an online diary. hahah...suckers.
Bottom line, its harder to move on in the digital age than it is in the tape player era. Before, a break up was a break up. "nice to know you..peace out, i'll never hear your name again". now, its "ok, we wont speak ever again, but i'll still know what ur doing, who your friends are, and if u Logged onto Myspace today". "Break up" means "break up". Dont check up on your Ex's, it will only make moving-on harder....and its kinda scary too. Also, dont design your Myspace/Facebook/Friendster/Xanga profile with thoughts that your Ex will be reading it, you will most likely embellish, fluff, or even falsify the truth (i am a giant hipocrite...but hey, look how unhappy i am these days! lol).
The Myspace community is fuckin huge. 32 million members and counting. thats 31, 999,999 chances to meet someone new. Karla, 21, of glendale heights, has to lie to her husband about her membership of a Myspace account. whats the purpose? its obvious...the opportunities that Myspace and other Online communities provide in meetin new people is much greater than any other social event. FUCK!! no wonder why you bitches trip out if their marital status says "single" when they're really "in a relationship". From this day on, i vow to never use Myspace.com or theFacebook.com to see how my Ex's are doing. From this day on, i will use Myspace and Facebook to find my future Ex's. Outstanding.
