An Apology to Internet Snobs
I’m sorry. I’m sorry that you had already seen that thing I sent you. I know how much you hate it when you’ve already seen a cool website and then I find it and send it your way. In the future I will try to keep it in mind that you’re way more Internet-savvy than I am, so it would be best to just assume you’ve already seen everything.
And you know what? You’re probably right to make me feel like an asshole. Where did I get off thinking you would find something funny that you had already seen? I was a real jerk. I know how important it is for you to be the first and to spread it around and then, if it gets back to you, make that poor soul feel like a dick. Your e-mail forwards are sweet and new and funny, and mine – well they’re relics of the days when AOL mattered.
So, from the bottom of my heart. Sorry. Please know I was never trying to upstage you, I simply thought that we could share something. You know, writing this makes me see how selfish I was. I guess I just saw it and was overcome by my friend-like knowledge of what you might think was interesting, then, in my egotistical fervor, sent it your way. You know, if you never talk to me again, I won’t blame you.
Signed,
Me. The guy who in no way is as cool as you.
You should hear those people on music or gaming message boards if you haven’t already lol
