Every day I go 2 work at my office desk job, and waste 70-90% of the day reading blogs and websites. These websites construct my reality, even moreso than real people and events in my life. It's great to read them and be connected to events that are happening every where and no where at the same time. I like feeling like I am a part of some sort of 'movement' that is led by a website.

But every now and then, I get bored reading the same websites. Maybe I can't blame the websites; sometimes there is just no content to 'spin', so blogs have no memes to blog about, and must post unbuzzworthy bands + mediocre memes + irrelevant news 'bits' + unfunny viral videos starring moderately famous ppl.

April Fool's Day seems like the ultimate solution to creating a more compelling internet. It eliminates days where there is nothing 'bloggable', so you can create stories + frame an engaging hyper-reality. Semi-plausible and implausible stories mashing up interesting humans, concepts, memes, and search terms seem more interesting than 95% of 'real stuff' that happens.

This April Fool's Day I considered blogging about

• Ben Gibbard and Zooey Deschanel sex tape
• Ben Gibbard sex addiction
• Terrorist back pack bombed a Neon Indian Green Label Sound showcase
• the band GIRLS committed suicide with their cults
• Steve Aoki gets engaged
• Panda Bear calls Avey Tare a 'little bitch'
• Pitchfork Media purchases HRO / GVB / the hype machine
• The creator of the hype machine gets sent to jail
• Justin Bieber raped by Ellen DeGeneres
• Uffie 'tweets' a nude picture of herself
• MGMT gets a 0.0 from Pitchfork Media
• James Murphy joins Grizzly Bear
• Edward Droste launches chillwave project
• Deakin spills 'the dirt' on the growing rift between AnCo and Panda Bear
• Obama was assassinated
• The Postal Service releases a new album
• Tiger Woods is HIV positive
• Balloon Boy sex tape
• Apple makes an iPhone
• McDonalds merges with Chili's

April Fool's Day seems like a great day for websites. Maybe it is the internet's Super Bowl. Who can create the most 'buzz' about a prank / plausible story / something that 'genuinely makes ppl confused.' Which website can change the form and function of their website to 'disorient' their tribe of followers? Who is 'creative' enough to fool their users with class + legitimately 'cleverness.'

April Fool's Day may or may not have been created by God to occur on the internet. Wonder if April Fool's Day is more or less 'real' than a regular day on the internet. Wonder why we 'trust' websites. Are blogs supposed 2 be authentic news sources, or are blogs more like bros who 'have a personality.' Some1 who we are cool with a little bit of silliness.

They say that 'anything can happen' on 'any given day' but I feel like April Fool's Day is a day where interesting stuff happens. Unless ur site is 'gay' then u do a 'gay prank' or something.

Should all websites be required to 'pull a prank'?
Do websites have a social responsibility to 'play a joke' on their readers?
Is the internet the ultimate breeding ground for perception altering pranks?
Which websites had 'good' / 'gay' pranks?
Do some websites 'try too hard' to form a viral meme on April Fool's Day?
Do u ever get bored on the internet?
Is April Fool's Day the most interesting day on the internet or the most annoying day on the internet?
