The Bottom Line .
Once upon a time a twenty-something gal signed up for Epinions. Her initial stay was brief as it seemed on more than one occasion her quickly hashed together views were not widely appreciated. She felt slighted, and left the site for months instead turning her sights to the highly addictive yet incredibly childish Neopets.com. But not all was well in her existence. She yearned for positive feedback and once again returned to the site that once shunned her. Epinions.com seemed like the right outlet to release her written word—whether or not people would actually find anything of use in her opinions. But a girl can try, and try Shelly did. Even after trying her heart out it seemed that nothing went her way. She posted in the wrong places, wrote about unpopular topics, and pumped out four or five or six reviews within a few hours. Little did she know that at that rate, most of her carefully assembled reviews would be ignored in lieu of the one at the top of her profile page. Shelly really didn’t have any freakin’ idea about how to properly do this Epinions thing. But she kept on going—she’s no quitter. More months passed, and her reviews got slowly and surely better. Yet, it seemed strange that for no particular reason some of her decent (but by no means great) reviews remained largely ignored. Try as she might, rate and comment as she could, nothing remedied the situation. But not one to complain, she kept on writing and for some crazy reason didn’t leave the site. In honor of these long and oft forgotten reviews here is a trite and not at all credible poem. But who said art really has to make sense? Not I. Track-by-track listings Are so not cool But Jesus Jones Makes me drool The review is short The car is small But this 1991 Escort Pony Beats ‘em all! Horror and Clive Barker Are two of my favorite reads But why oh why doesn’t Anybody love Night Breed? You caught me. These reviews are all my own, but come onԺ freakin’ rates on that wonderful 1991 Escort Pony review? My baby is worth more than that. Heck, I owned and loved her for EIGHT YEARS. She worked perfectly for EIGHT YEARS. Come on…give her some love. And while you’re at it don’t forget to stroke Jesus Jones and Night Breed a little. On a more serious note, there are plenty of opinions with tons of hits…but there’s one that never could have enough. I wrote it from my heart and try as I might I have great difficulty writing about the happenings as detailed in Life After Cancer. Maybe that’s a good place to start if you’ve yet to get to know me. Or maybe not. Living is like a big ol’ Choose Your Own Adventure book. Yes. This is pimping in the form of a story in the third person and bad poetry. What’s your point? I didn’t think you had one… __________________________________________ This review has been part of The Second Chance Write-Off from trust12345 in honor of his first Epinions anniversary. He invited me, and it seemed a fitting creative outlet and method for begging. No, I’m not above groveling. In any case, thanks and click here for all the info you need about this damn spiffy W/O.  |
