Here I am, sitting at home on a Saturday night, so I log into Cherryland. Why am I home on a Saturday night? Loser? No friends? Actually, I got tattooed for five hours today & three hours yesterday. Tonight, I will have an oh so exciting evening of washing, applying vaseling & re-wrapping the new work. I take the aftercare very seriously. The sleeve is coming along very nicely. Actually, it's almost done & it looks fucking awesome!
Anyway, here I sit, logged into Cherrytap & I see one of my photos gets rated...gets rated... wait for it...a '1.' Do I care that some random stranger thought that it would be a good use of his time on a Saturday night to cruise by my profile & rate a photo a '1?' No I don't, but it got me to thinking. I think a lot. It's a blessing & a curse.
When I'm bored, I will peruse profiles for people that I think sound interesting or have something to say or have interests common to my own. If I find that, I will rate, comment & check out photos. If not, I move on.
I guess, this place operates much like any real bar you may go to because at any bar you will meet cool people to talk to & hang out with, but also, lurking there are those you have nothing in common with or who just annoy you.
I think this is a great place & I've "met" some awesome people. I won't be leaving any time soon. I do think, however, that the automatic '10' rating is a little bit artificial & used to get points & to level up, by some. At the same time, though, my momma told me a long time ago, if you have nothing good to say, keep your trap shut. I guess, I just don't get the '1' rating for anything around here.
Do you remember earlier, I mentioned that I think a lot & it's a blessing & a curse? I think, in this case it's a curse because here's 15 minutes of my life I'm never getting back.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.
