random deceased teenager

mood: happy.
state i'm in: avoiding study.
tune: josh rouse "comeback (light therapy)".


one thing i have really grown to despise lately...

everytime something happens to a teenager or young adult, such as suicide, vanished, murdered in a college massacre, all of the media outlets write these pathetic stories about their myspace or facebook pages and what they wrote recently on there, what their chosen background colour scheme was, and what their favourite song was. then come the regurgitating of all the comments and tributes made by their friends in the wake of their realisation their friend will not be back in their lives.

it is all a bit sick. these are traditionally personal communications that instead posted for the world to see. then again, by having personal spaces and blogs on the internet, i suppose we are inviting the world into our lives and minds to have a look and comment. i guess the fleas come with the dog.


however i still think it is particularly slack journalism, and i like to think most people aren't interested in what 'random living teenager' thought of 'random deceased teenager'.
