As any of you aware of Myspace may already know, Myspace is a malign force of nature. More accurately it is free Heroine. It is a place for people to go and meet other people, or keep in touch with friends and family all over the world.
And it is the worst thing to ever happen. I mean everytime I vow to leave the place, a new friend I had once long lost, or left behind comes online and we start chatting again. This has been going on for months. I have been trying to leave since July, but a new person shows up just to keep me hooked for that much longer.
So as a member, if you have active friends on it, you find yourself loggin in to make sure they havent posted new pictures or put up a new blog. Whenever I am at work or home and I find myself sitting at the desk, I by reflex log into Myspace several times a day. Everytime I do, I somehow feel I have just again succumbed to this pure force of evil.
But I find it terribly useful as well. Again as I stated I ama fairly active member, as are a lot of my friends, so I am always going through their profiles or making plans through the message system.
Maybe by years end I will find myself able to let go, and just maintain contact with friends the old fashioned way. Because I sure as hell use my phone a lot less now that I have found Myspace.
And it is in that respect I know I should stop. I find the interet, used for those reasons (mostly for meeting people actually) to be the wrong way fo doing things. It supports a social stigma that is running rampant in our nation where people are afraid of social interactions with people they don't know. It takes people like me to be brash, loud, and boisterous to get people rattled.
I find it sad when I try to engage in any form of discourse in person, only to find people for the most part are caught off gaurd or thrown off when someone actually speaks to them. It makes them extremely put off and nervous.Which makes for a tough discussion, and a harder time connecting.
Anyway, if you are in the myspace thing, and wanna either just check out the profile and hinder my escaoe, I am found here:

P.S - BAH! with spelling... I think I got it all, if not, oh well.
