Because of recent developments in communication technologies sociologists now estimate that people are, on average, separated by five degrees of separation.
I agree it's about cataloging, exploring, and discovering life in Fresno..' (gee, I couldn't read that moniker myself,,,, -personally I liked 'dedicated to making life in Fresno less Boring,' -but hey, things evlove, right?
'Life in Fresno,' I reckon has changed a tonload over the last few years (that I've been a part of,) ---and it's changed even more as time has gone by...
The Fresno I know?
You don't know.
The Fresno You know?
I don't know.
-yet we both eat, sleep, breathe, shit, Fresno every freakin day of the year... (and pay taxes...)
-I'm open to hearing your, and anybody elses take on Fresno... to me it's valid, and warrants my respect, (but then again, I'm not from here.)
It's changing, there are a lot of things that are a bit of a stretch, (I agree travelling up a river in China? Not something I'm looking to do next week, ---but some folks may want to, ---and if they desire to leave the hallowed walls of the SJV, -Maybe some serious Asian travel is in order... (Pssst, -Ed? There are Asians living here... ---and you know what? a lot of 'em travel...)
-Now, plastering the whole freakin' world with endless travelogues?
Not nice (and thank god that ended shortly after it started...
---I also don't need to go reading Manheim SteamRoller at the SaveMart Arena a million times,
---and wouldn't be any more enthused if an advert for a local Fresno Band was put up as endless scroll either...
My point?
If ANYTHING is the Fresno stereotype?,
it's to piss and moan about stuff, argue over needless things (like boundaries of neighborhoods, etc...) and complain about how much life here sucks...
-Dude, I knew how much life here sucked four weeks after moving here, --and it's been new experiences in suckery (at times,) ---or it can be really cool, too.
I've personally talked to quite a few people who have completely dismissed this site, this scene, this town, (etc.) over exactly the attitude that's coming across in Anti's remarks (I'm not attacking the man, I happen to be friends with him,)
I just think the answer is not '...This does not belong in Fresno Famous,' ---because, to be honest?
If you're in Fresno, and this is part of your life in Fresno, -it counts.
---And believe me, ---there is a wide diversity of life in Fresno that nobody will ever know
-BECAUSE of horseshit like '...talk about Fresno, this ain't Fresno talk...'
I've known folks who are like '...ta hell with these idiots, I'm not going to waste my time, nothing's changed here...'
My point (initially, NOT to be used as some 'example of what does not belong on FresFam.)
-just asking the guy to post his information in a more suitable fashion, (it's about blogging, this site and a lot of us do blog, --so it COULD be relevant.)
-The comments about 'admin with some balls.'
-what the hell was that?
'admin with some balls.'
-um, are the 'admins,' without 'balls.'
-really?
what curtains are we peeking in?
Whether Josh has his balls or not is strictly the business of Josh, his balls, his attorney and his tailor...
Personally?
If this site folds?
-a lot of people are going to be bummed out, and we all know that folks like Josh are working pretty damn hard to keep it rolling, ---and provide a pretty neutral atmosphere,
-knowing full well that the very same people who were so pro-Jarah, so pro-Fresno Famous, -also were so anti-Jarah and all (and spelling doom to the site,) -when she sold it...
Totally sick minds ya got here, chief...
And if I recall she commented pro and con about how small mindedness hobbles so much that could happen here...
Real 'We love you, and if we can't have you NOBODY can have you (stab-stab)' fatal attraction shit.
Seek help.
Same people who spelled the doom?
-Still posting.
(Which, I'm glad they didn't read their own press and forecasts...)
If the site folds?
I see only one main reason:
-People too hobbled by their own heritage and 'town-team-spirit,'
--who live to complain and carry the company line of 'this place sucks, nothing works here,' and tear down whatever comes along,
(basically an extension of only learning to damn other towns and make themselves look better,
-good luck with that addictive downward spiral...)
---Rather than:
Having the balls (whups, there's them balls again,) to stand up and write about what they're thinking and how life is, ---Fresno-Centric or not...
There are going to be plenty of things posted on this site, and many others that people are going to see as 'having nothing to do with Fresno,' -but really are.
-and there's going to be plenty of 'purely Fresno-Centric,' posts written from the standpoint and actions that, quite frankly, should embarass Fresnans that they still exist, -but they're gonna keep doing it, and we're still going to shake our heads and read anyway...
-Either way?
It's all Fresno.
Meat, Spices, shit, and gristle...
Deciding on what's worth being here?
(unless it's something truly heinous and viciously attacking somebody ---even then...)
-up to the court of the common comment,
which means a bunch of people burping up opinions and counter-points, and that little comments number to the right of the string title growing larger and larger...
thanks for chiming in Ed
