Title: Who Do You Follow On Instagram?
Post by: Skorp1o on April 02, 2014, 06:04:54 AM
I used to follow selfie posting surgically enhanced girls but then gave up on them all (no homo), now I follow a dog called Tuna:

If I had a dime for every time I had to deny your request on my instagram....

"DrippingGapes"

 ;D

When I had instagram about a year ago or so, I pulled a pretty decent amount of vaginals from it. Roughly two a month with virtually zero effort.

The whole concept of following someone is for the fucking sheep.

Whatever happened to living vicariously through people that actually had an element of cool about them? You know, like Frank Sinatra, or JFK, or Ali, or DiMaggio (I realize they're all dead or near-dead, but the point is that they mattered).

Hell, even Bill Clinton, or George Clooney or Madonna in the 90s. Today, we still have people who are worth following, I think...Richard Branson, Buffet, Daniel Craig, the Rock, etc...


I think the rise of Instagram and Facebook and Twitter is actually an indictment of celebrity power today. Are boilerplate standard Hollywood celebrities now so dull, predictable and "vanilla", that the only way to sate our desires to live vicariously through some other person is to actually find some person, any person (even just random Joe and Jane Q. Public types) and follow them on instagram or twitter? Are "celebrities" as we've all come to know them "passe", so to speak? Are they no longer cool enough for us?

Or are they just as cool today as they were yesterday, but in fact, we've become over-saturated with media surrounding regular hollywood celebrity archetypes and have burned out on their visage and behaviors and the coverage of such? Are we simply tired of them? Is it the "Playboy" syndrome (i.e. a different girl every month...or in this case, a different celebrity every month)? Is our craving for newness so insatiable that we'll follow anything new, even if it isn't very shiny? Are we really so good at deluding ourselves that random stuff we'd walk over on the street is now all of a sudden cool enough to waste our time on this earth "following"?

Is it celebrities who are sad? Or is it we, who are truly sad?

Have our standards for aspirational archetypes fallen so far that we'll de-base ourselves in such fashion and numbly follow our next door neighbors in some perverse, desperate attempt to feel something more exciting than what we feel about our own lives?

At least in the 50's, you could follow DiMaggio who hit a baseball like a god and bedded Marylin Monroe and hob-nobbed with the elite of american celebrity.

Now we follow Tuna the dog.

It's amazing what we'll settle for when push comes to shove.

Ohhhh....snx, nice article but we're going a bit off topic here are we? a silly little dogs face and you're talking about  JFK and Warren Buffet.

Im up by 5am,  gym then at work by 7:15 am to face all the financial markets feeds before the day starts. Hence a silly little dogs face to browse through when I go for my daily shit at 9:45am provides my brain with the correct material to break the serious thinking pattern. I have no interest in looking up JFK or Warren Buffet when I go for my morning shit.

I appologise in advance if I don't live up to your expectations of grandeur.

Don't worry about me dude. I've seen your posts...I'm not shitting you and am not trolling you when I say your life is way cooler than mine. Honestly, if your posts are 50% true, I'd fucking buy your beer for the night just to be your wing man and pick up your scraps.

If you read my posts, my gimmick is just trolling getbig, looking for how our behaviors mirror society in general, then turning that mirror on ourselves. I assume nobody gives a crap about what I write. I just spout off about random stuff that enters my head.

To be honest, I'm shocked you even read my post. Nobody reads the shit I post. LOL....

Of course I read your post, I thought it was quite intelligent and well put forward, your arguments were valid in a generic context looking at society nowadays.

And my life is nothing special, I'm just a guy in his 30's still trying to live the way I did when I was in my 20's and doing ok at it so far.

I never pretend to practice what I preach. I recognize the irony of my adulation of your lifestyle when constrasted to my posting.

You do better than most. Continue to allow me to live vicariously through you too! Your bro-mances want more pics of these women who give themselves to you. Just saying...

No problem snx, I have a double bender lined up this weekend one on Friday with an English girl and one on Saturday with a Latvian girl... topping up my system with sustenon later today so I get peak levels on the weekend and I will see what I can do pictures wise.


I adulate over other peoples lifestyles too and where I can, I try and think of ways to emulate within my means whether be it my limited looks or limited bank account and see if I gain the same satisfaction as they seem to do...after all life is about living and we are instinctive primates at heart where our observations influence our actions and perceptions.

This could be looked at as that you haven't grown up yet.
My moorish brother, look yonder from the depths of surgically enhanced women who will break your penis, and into the abyss of positivity that only a Kelly Brook lookalike or Moorish professional woman can take you to.

I follow mostly bodybuilding related stuff.

I post shit that is funny, nothing personal.

guys complained about my Instagram handle and some of the stuff I posted and they shut me down.  I started a new one with a similar name but don't post much and don't any followers really. I used to have a ton. 

They also shut me down on twitter because if the same name but they gave me the acount back.

Is all pictures, right?  I hate selfies, have all those people "unfollowed" on my FB. I have mostly groups and news engaged. Turned it into a kind of personalized living newspaper. I even unfollowed Dina, because the pregnant selfies were annoying and lame
