I can't believe that I'm  finding this out so late (or that I was so slow to see this). It all started with me reading some of the posts stating, "it's not the same with Trendy gone!" . However, it never occured to me that Trendy was leaving tv.com for good. I was just thinking that he was gone temporarily and that he'll be back.  Then I Sly4me's signature and it said (among other things): "R.I.P. trendy131",  I was like, "Oh my goodness, don't tell me he died!" . You get the picture: it didn't occur to me that Sly meant that he was leaving tv.com. So when I read Trendy's blog, I found out that he was really leaving. Such a shame, really.

I barely knew you Trendy, but I know I'll miss you. Here's a tribute poem for you to remind you to always stay true to yourself. I wrote it myself.

Individuality

What we lack in our society,

Are individualities.

A sense of some diversity,

Distinctive personalities.

But no one wants variety,

We’re content with commonality.

It’s such a sad reality,

But...maybe that’s just our mentality!

Is all this uniformity,

Good for my own sanity?

We need some peculiarity,

To shake what we call...normality.

We need a change in this society,

I’m just fed up with conformity!

Make room for originality,

Authenticity,

And...even unity.

I speak to all humanity,

To every nationality.

Don’t fear your own identity.

Cherish your individuality!
