I really dig the internet since it can be such a great tool for learning, entertaining, communicating, accessing and archiving historically great events and pics.
Unfortunately, It seems a lot of folks just like to engage in faceless attacks, watch endless cat videos and rack up as much cyber loafing time as possible on low value pursuits which doesn’t seem to contribute to a high quality successful life.
I have witnessed many,many malcontents,parasites and socially inept misfits creeping around social media who exist merely to tear the work of others down as they are incapable of building anything of value conceptually or physically themselves.
Maybe their parents dropped the ball in their upbringing or perhaps God just makes shitty people to keep the world on its toes.
Who knows why these miserable wastes exist – but they do and aren’t going away anytime soon from what I see.
I guess the internet gives these faceless germs the dirty petri dish they love to rabidly flock to, thrive in and endlessly multiply within.
When productive people invent, design and market new things and methods to make the world better, there will always be those who abuse the intent of any of these worthwhile innovations.
That’s just the way the world is.
The development of the internet and modern social media is a perfect example of this concept that seems to bring the worst out of social misfits, emotional wrecks and the borderline unstable, mentally deficient and insane.
And there’s plenty of them out there just happy to cyber piss all over you.
These are the types haunting the internet I despise:
Cyber Shit Birds and Do-Nothings
These types just loiter around cyberland killing time like ships thoughtlessly adrift and have no meaningful agendas except to stir up controversy and be constantly entertained by bullshit and nonsense.
They demonstrate no value or skills in anything and have nothing meaningful to offer you on any level, but demand your time, expertise and attention in order to further their selfish agendas as if it is your privilege to do so
They are, however, extremely good at picking away at the accomplishments of others – scouring the internet for scraps and breadcrumbs discarded by the successful to feed their unremarkable existences.
I especially detest the insecure shit birds who try to undermine other people’s content while shamelessly promoting themselves or some crappy product they try to crowbar into the comments section of blogs and social media.
What low lifes!
The Trolls
These dopes and dolts can build nothing of value, but revel in tearing down what others have built and achieved
I am occasionally attacked by miserable, low information people who sit in the safety of their cyber holes spewing venom at anything and anyone they don’t get or pretend to be offended by.
That’s ok – because if my body of work pisses off the trolls, sensitive saps, politically correct worms and cyber dick weeds off, then I’m doing something right.
While the internet is truly a powerfully educational and entertaining tool, it does unfortunately empower a lot of social misfits and cowards to viciously rain on the parades of others without any consequences.
People just won’t engage in this poor behavior in a face to face situation because the real world has a nasty habit of beating bad behavior out of all the internet heroes it seems.
Everybody seems to act like Superman or Wonder Woman behind the confines of their cyber fortresses – just make sure you can back it up.
What To Do
While we are all far from perfect and have probably at some point in our lives acted like a do-nothing, cyber shit bird or wretched troll to some degree, we can only learn from our mistakes and control our own behavior and reactions to people.
Trying to change the behavior of others is the ultimate loser’s game fraught with disappointment, frustration and stress that will ultimately waste your positive energy and be an extreme drain on your health and well-being.
People only change when they decide to change.
I don’t try to change horrible people – I wall them out of my life both in the real world and the internet social media realm.
Don’t waste time over analyzing why people behave shitty or in unremarkable ways because that’s vital energy and time you will never get back – much like a bad investment drains your wealth.
Find the courage to cut these human drains out of every aspect of your life or become miserable yourself.
Let these shit birds, trolls and do-nothings go drag some clueless, sappy douche into miserable mediocrity as there seems to be no shortage of people willing to entertain this nonsense and drama.
I enjoy my sanity, health and well-being too much to have these horribles orbiting my universe.
What side of the fence are you on?
Have the courage to understand this and channel your energies toward people whose actions produce positive outcomes.
I don’t mind being questioned in a respectful manner, but I won’t stand for attacks by low information malcontents, emotionally charged wretches or politically correct or “woke” jerkoffs who reside in fantasy land who scoff at facts and historical precedents.
I look at someone’s body of work. If they are stable and confident enough to put themselves out there to share their thoughts in an accountable manner, I totally respect them even if I don’t agree with everything they say.
If they just attack, promote misery, crave promotional attention, offer no meaningful insights insecure in their shielded anonymity with no skin in the social media game – I treat them like the vermin and wastes they act like.
I respect criticism, but not anonymous attacks
If you have demonstrated no value, accomplished little or nothing, just like to stir the shit pot and blindly repeat low information thoughts, memes and media hype – I will dismiss you and not take you very seriously.
That’s my stance.
The defense rests!

I’m Mark Mellohusky (mellow-husky)- an often barefoot eternal student of health and physical culture who will not go quietly into the sunset since I have learned how to age gracefully by adopting sane eating strategies, staying strong and lean, moving well and pain-free and conquering nasty fat.
All without spending hours haunting gyms doing sappy low value media celebrated exercises that waste your precious time and stifle progress.
Opportunities rarely come in neat, predictable packages just handed to you, folks – Learn to recognize and act on these opportunities to keep adding to your success and happiness!
When you follow the herd, mediocrity is all you really can hope to achieve.
