“Fun” With Breakups and Web 2.0

Most of you who know me know, correctly, that I take this stuff pretty hard.  My girlfriend split up with me last night.  In retrospect, it wasn’t a bad breakup.

I’ve decided to use Web2.0 as an outlet for my grief.  I don’t know if this should make me more or less depressed.

I listen to The Streets.  One of his songs is called “Dry Your Eyes, Mate.”  It’s a wrencher.

It’s a pretty good summary of about how I’m feeling right now.  The next step was to pull a blog post about Wordle from Jerry.  Wordle is a tag cloud generator.  I didn’t really know how to explain a tag cloud, so I went to Wikipedia for an answer.  If a tag cloud for a web page describes its content, the tag cloud for a person describes how they feel.

Wikipedia, tag clouds, blogs, youtube, and a notification of a new post via twitter.

(None of which she checks, I’m not an asshole.)

It’s both heartbreaking and encouraging to know that relationships don’t work like this: small pieces loosely joined.
