Boondock Saint's blog: "Inside The Mind Of Boon"

Before you start giving me shit about this not being a MUMM or the fact that it would actually make a terrible MUMM aside from being troll fodder, the title is actually rhetorical. I already know the answer. This blog is simply me explaining how I came to it because some of y'all have been wondering as of late. Unlike some I work at a job that doesn't allow me to "do the Fu" while on the clock. I'm not tucked away in a cubicle with a computer to multi-task on or anything like that. I also work some pretty long hours during the warmer months. In Georgia that can be anytime between March and November depending on how sadistic Mother Nature and the boss decide to be. With that being said my off time is extremely limited and therefore extremely valuable to me. I prefer to do things that allow me to relax and have fun. While Fu USED to be such place, it has become less and less fun due to less and less social interaction. Short of a VERY small handful of people that show up in my SB mostly wondering where I've been because of the before mentioned long hours, I don't SOCIALIZE on this SOCIAL MEDIA site. I used to love hanging out in lounges. Now they aggravate and bore me because nobody talks except for the occassional hi as someone enters or if they do talk it is ONLY to maybe 4 or 5 people despite there being 10 others that are actually attempting to participate in a conversation. It used to be that being that selective in who you spoke to in a lounge generally meant getting fired. Now it doesn't matter if you actually talk so long as you have the ability to park 24/7 to keep the numbers up so the owner can keep the number one spot and save the 5,000 Fu-bucks. So yeah, lounges in short, suck.

Yet another reason I don't socialize..."Who the hell has time to socialize? I have to get my cheeves!" The only ways to get those highly sought after achievements that basically become the bane of anyone attempting to get to the next level after 40 are to either a) Make more money than you have bills on a regular enough basis to buy them b) Have NSFW pics that somebody from column A wants to see badly enough to buy them for you or c) This is the group 60% of us actually fall into, spend ridiculous amounts of time polishing, liking, rating or poking THOUSANDS of bling, pics, or profiles. Now if you fall into options A or B you can actually level fairly quickly because the LE bling sets and other such achievements START at 25 points. However, if you're more concerned with keeping the lights and internet on than buying a flashy .Gif and go about your achievements by actually ACHIEVING them, you're going to spend months if not years making 3 or 10 points an achievement rating, liking, polishing the bling of or poking a lot of people who are often too busy doing the exact same thing to be social. I'm sorry, but, where the fuck is the fun in that? Let's get real Fu. There has to be something WORTH getting on this site for people to come back. And clearly that has become a serious concern as of late considering the newest re-vamp of level requirements saw the damn near impossible to achieve Love Monster Cleanse for level 65 get replaced with an almost just as impossible Re-Invite 150. Obviously the powers that be think that there are enough profiles that have been gone long enough that their little pink button has shown up where their daily rank used to be for all the level 64's (And there are a shit ton due to the staggering achievement points that they so generously dropped from 15,000 to 14,000 and the difficulty in finding unlocked, unpolished Love Monsters to "cleanse" 65 of them) to actually hunt down and hit said pink button of 150 different ones without repeating the same profile twice. Rather than having those of us still beating our heads against the achievement wall clicking to send all these people that saw the futility of the wall a spam email that they are most likely ignoring anyway why don't y'all try making the site fun again? I know, I know, fun doesn't make money and websites don't run for free. But with the 45,584 people supposedly online as I am writing this surely y'all can't be hurting THAT badly. Unless of course only 500 of those online actually buy those LE bling...Which in that case it would make sense to find a way to get a dollar out of 45,000 rather than 25 out of 500 to me. $45,000 would pay the bills a lot easier than $12,500. It's about time y'all started entertaining the masses and not just boost the egos of a relative handful.

So now that I've rambled way off my original topic... My point is this. I don't socialize on here. I find it harder and harder to come up with a reason to bother signing in on a day to day basis. When I do sign in I usually clear out my notifications because my OCD won't let them stay on my phone, rate a handful of people, and shitface the ones that aren't that usually keep me so, and then if I feel like clicking mindlessly work on those 3 point achievements with the hopes of maybe hitting level 65 some year if I can ever find the other 134 pink buttons I need to click to do so. So yes I'm staying...sort of. I'm not going to delete my profile like SO MANY have as of late because I did that once and starting over when you decide you actually want to check to see if things improved SUCKS BALLS. But I'm not going to be online all that much either. It might be 5-10 minutes a day or if I get really bored with things it could be 5-10 minutes a week or possibly month. For anyone interested in talking to me more often than that I recommend finding my other contact info outside of Fu or if any of y'all happen to be one of those big ballers with influence or have the tits one of those big ballers like looking at maybe use your influence to get the powers that be to liven this place up again so the disenchanted folks can find a reason to come back and beat their heads on that damn achievement wall some more. For the rest of you who aren't even reading this anyway, do you I guess. Enjoy that crown that will poof the next time they decide too many of you have reached the top for the top to be the top anymore.
