Care to socialize??

It was the second week of my first year in college.. I got mail with a hard to pronounce subject on it (or rather it just seemed alien to my tongue to say it out loud)..O - R - K - U - T.. or-kut ..ork-ut.. Ok.. so it was a new concept.. an online socializing site (not like there wasn't 'google groups' and 'geocities'.. and what not).. but this was new.. It had a "scrapbook".. a "photo album".. "friends" section.. intriguing.. So it began.. What initially seemed like a mindless exercise of adding to your friends list.. the names of those that you met day in and day out.. and then came the school friends.. whom you didn't meet that often nowadays.. (cos you're in college remember).. and then came those childhood buddies.. Wow.. It was amazing what a website could do.. ...SCREEEECH.. hold on.. not so fast.. I said "what a website could do"..

What with the dozens of socializing websites popping up.. It's kinda irritating to see a NEW hard-to-pronounce subject in your inbox EVERYDAY..

Let's face it.. the list is practically endless..

So I took a decision - to create a new filter for every new name I saw in my INBOX, skip the inbox and put it in a place where i can't see it.. so If there's something that any of my friends invited me to and I ignored.. I'm Sorry.. It was the only thing to do..

And If things weren't complicated enough, we got just the thing.. Communities of hatred ( hate clubs ).. defacing popular public figures, and spreading messages of hatred.. that wasn't what orkut was built for!! What, now, thanks to all this i might never ever meet that little short-haired girl back in third standard.. I might never say that long awaited 'Hi' that could change a whole lot of things in a relationship..

C'mon people.. grow up.. Don't be silly and cause a row.. and for the other sode of the argument.. GROW UP!! So what if there's a defaming online page.. If you think you're really that important, show them that you're 'higher' than that level of insult.. Beat It.. don't make a fuss.. We ARE a democracy after all..

But coming to think of the whole thing.. Maybe I should have signed up for those dozen odd invites that I got in the first place.. If Orkut's gone.. then there's something else..

A couple of other videos i made..

This one plays to the beats of the song 666, by Amokk (yeah yeah.. it's some cheap-ass club-dj-plays-it-if-he's-got-nothing-else kinda band)



..and this is my latest..

It's completely BMX stunting.. It's for the song "Shimmy" by System Of A Down.. (Yeah I know.. They rock)
