Myspace is not for me
If you were to go to my myspace you would see that I link back to my blog here because as you all know, I am bad enough at keeping up with this blog. There is nothing that makes me think that I would be able to stay on top of two blogs!
Part of why I keep this one and don't just switch over to the other is more than just the momentum I have here. The real reason is because apparently, I am not part of their demographic. Of course I mean no offense to any of you that are out there (I am on there too)! But I don't have 3 dozen pictures of me and all my friends flipping of the camera, standing around a table of half empty liquor bottles while provocatively pushing my boobs out! And it seems that this is some sort of prerequisite that I simply do not meet.

ha... and you're too old. it's amazing how many children are on there. I feel the same way about facebook. infact, i think I blogged about it one time... I don't belong there just like you don't belong on myspace...let's be outcasts together... like Rudolph and Herbie (I'll let you be the gay dentist).
Myspace is blocked at work for being a dating/personals site. So, I'm glad you don't feel like you belong on a drunky-flippy-offy-booby-pushy-upy-makey-outy-datey-Herbie type site.
andrea - then entire reason i have a myspace is that i use it to spy on the kids i know. and unfortunately, i've ratted three out, so far.
I'm with you too! The reason I am NOT on myspace is because I would have to spend all day ratting out our college students. I'm more appalled by what I find on those who mark "christian" in their religious affiliation and then proceed to do all of the things you mentioned in your post.
you know what... i should clarify... i didn't decide "hey, i'm going to try to catch loved ones screwing up!"
it came about innocently... i was searching for friends online, and came upon questionable myspace sites. believe me, just as much GARBAGE goes on on blogger, more, actually, as blogger allows nudity and profanity.
so anyway... i notified a parent, and they were horrified. see, the problem today is that today's teens are VERY internet savy, but for the most part their parents are not. i happen to fall happily between.
my hope is that when my children are teenagers, and i'm not up on the latest, someone will love my kids enough to spy on them, too.
so i say, embrace myspace, but do it for the right reasons. if your right reason is networking with friends, great. if your reason is protecting kids you love, fantastic. if your reason is hooking up/finding parties/exchanging pictures of your penis/insert miscelanious garbage here, then you should lose your internet access.
and honestly? me and the mister are more than willing to go that route. if we see a problem in our house, when our kids are older, out the internet goes. so what if i have to go to the library to pay my bills online for a few years. my children are worth it.
I found out they still allow people to pay bills through the mail. You have to pay to do it though! It's like 39 cents! Can you believe that?
THROUGH THE MAIL? i've never even heard of such a thing.
I remember, right after we moved to Memphis (**shudder**) and we didn't have internet yet, we needed to find a grocery store and we didn't know what to do. All I could think of was yp.yahoo.com or maps.google.com, but it turns out they have a book version out now, the "Yellow Pages".
i still think you have a mustache, james..
Such a youngin'.
word andrea. word.
you can join my "third party" membership of myspace. it's all about finding old friends and then meeting up with them in real life.
and just like on blogger, if someone is innapropriate: deleted.
here's the thing i don't get: my work is slowly switching over to this thing where you can send faxes with your email. what?!
Faxes through email? Isn't that just... email?
you would think.
i don't get it either.
anrea, i have to warn you... i don't know what it means, but I think that James is going to do a sexy dance for you in a british flag speedo... i saw it on his blog... they think you're a fembot... be ye forewarned...dot dot dot
I don't understand why we even have fax machines anymore.
I just started a myspace so I can spy on you youngins.
aparently, blogger isn't for you either? do you have a life or something, sheesh!
*heart, heart, love, love!*
