Myspace a place for aging hipsters. A place to see and be seen. To let people know that "Hey...I'm still cool. Check me out having a wild and crazy time. Drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon into the dawn with my sexy pouty lips and my *effortless* yet still carefully selected wardrobe." Yes...and let me announce to the world my achievements (Or in my case the mundane everyday workings of my ho-hum life). Let me innundate you with my thoughts, my music, and my friends commentary about it. And then if that wasn't enough lets have a competition for how many *friends* we can have and what that says about us, shall we? (I had a guy once comment on how I don't have very many *myspace friends*. I assured him that I knew more people in real life. Unconvinced (Ha!)...I explained further that the only people who are my friends here have some sort of real life connection to me. I have no fans. I have no long list of people that I have never/will never meet who are my friends here. The idea of that is pretty strange actually. But I use myspace for what it's good for. For instance...I have several people that I love dearly...that are separated from me through mainly distance...but also time restraints. (we are all living busy-bee-backson lives!) and yet we can all find some time in the day to check in here. It's more fun than e-mail. -There's music here...of course it's more fun than e-mail! I love the fact that the world i getting smaller. That people are more connected to those around them today, than has ever been in the world before...and that this *connectivity* is due in large part to the internet and silly little old places like myspace. My brother (who REFUSES to get an account) does in fact come on here sometimes and check my page. He'll check out the things I post and we'll talk about it later. -I like that. This is like a little moment in time captured in a vessel which can be read and discussed later. -That's pretty cool. Every now and again I think about (and periodically do) make my profile private...but then I change my mind. Usually because of people like my brother. 

....Oh yeah...
PS. I'm still cool. ;-P
