I was discussing a joke with a buddy of mine, when an example of how social-media can make you sound crazy came about.
So, I saw a thing this one time and it was funny. (That's all these stories ever boil down to anyway, but who gives a shit, right?)
It was funny, so I laughed and replied... a few times... adding what I thought were casual and light little bonuses during this particular stream of consciousness.

How you perceive your own demeanor in a textual environment may not always (if ever) reflect with complete accuracy.
There is a thin line between humor and psychosis. It blurs easily. In this case, shitty punctuation during an inebriated bombardment can make you appear like two cats trapped in a wet bag. I normally sound a little hyped-up regardless, but this was some hate, son. I'm talking stupid-crazy.
So, my buddy posted a thing that said something like, "Yo, I just found out there's cheat-codes for WiiFit, haha..."
...to which I reply,
"So uh...electronic steroids, right?!?! That's what I get to say next, isn't it?! Did I nail it?!
Hey! Can this lead to a broader use of Norton Antivirus scans in fantasy sports?!
That could be spun into some funny shit, right?
Something Something blood-code...
Nah man, blood-code is only considered if that antivirus comes back with a positive.
Right?
That's some bullshit a person can relate and/or sympathize with.
Ain't that some funny-ass shit?!?!"
...
My point is, I feel that ...in-person ...this entire rant would have a whole different aura to it.
For one, it's a monologue instead of an actual conversation. That's a shade of crazy in itself, but just don't worry about it. I'm only saying that I intended for more of a funny, yet vibrant explanation of this random happening....
....slightly less of an irate and jaded veteran shouting out dumb shit because he's drunk after work on September 11th.
All I'm really saying is... What if... If you were to send messages of a clandestine nature, in these days of impressively rampant technology, would there be pros or cons in transmitting messages only on historically significant calendar dates?
Like, if you established a system to only say some terrorist-type shit during holidays. N.S.T.R. any regular day of the week, just make sure to mention the holiday somewhere in the broadcast/text/email/whatever. That way, when it's swept (and it will be) by the authorities, it gets washed out in the queue. Go ahead, do some Control+F shit on somebody's emails then. Talk about a long day at the office. Smack in the middle of the week, too.
Get it?!
I'm talking about commercialism, dammit.
