The Fortress

Ricko's (almost) secret sanctuary is bigger than it appears, yet he can contain his "Fortress of Solitude" inside his skull. Originally conceived as a safe repository for preserving his rants and raves, Ricko uses the Fortress - now residing in Friendster Blog - as an occasional escape from the demands of real life. Hidden amazingly inside his labyrinthian mind, the Fortress remains safe and secure, accessible only to Ricko and his closest allies.

WHAT'S THE POINT TO ALL THIS?!

After signing on to this kind of subscription, checking around, looking for people i know and people i wanna meet, it kinda bothers me that most people take for granted the true essence of this kind of "friendly" environment.

I thought this was a place to MEET new people. To be able to MAKE NEW FRIENDS. Sure, I have a lot of friends past and present who're here, but hoping to make new friends not only in title but to the point that there's gonna be a commonality between 2 or more people that make them friends. Never have I seen such frivolousness in the fact that nobody wants to receive messages from people who wants to be friends. And if nobody wants to be exploited, STOP giving others reason to do so! Well, DUH!!! I dont know why you have friends in the first place.

It seems more like a race for who has the most friends which makes them seem popular since they have a jillion-bajillion friends enough to burst in the seams! (so, i exaggerated! I need to make a point!)

If it's so hard to make a conversation to someone or dont really want to talk, why make them part of your friendlist? It's like the craze these days for kids: Trading Card games, Mini Racing Cars, Battling Tops, Yo-yos... We just want to collect for the sake of collecting, not really putting value in what that person can offer you. Why buy something you dont use? Why add if they're only gonna be mugshots in your wall like a hit list.

Forgive me, im just ranting. I got inspired to rage out what I see here. I just dont want the word "friend" to become another tangible object.

If nobody can understand this message, then what the hell are you doing here?
