If you want to add me, please read this first!It's gotten to the point where I can't find the friends I need to send messages to and my bulletin space is starting to look like a billboard for products I don't want/care about.
So I need to trim my MySpace friends down to - believe it or not - real friends (or an approximation thereof)...

People that I want to be MySpace friends with are: People that really are my real world friends (go figure) and people that I want to be real world friends with; People that I've shot or want to shoot; Bands I already love; Magazines I want to shoot for; People that I know from the clubs.

If you want me to add you (and you don't fit one of these groups), at least send a note, especially if your MySpace name isn't your real name and your profile picture isn't a recognizable picture of your face or your profile is set to private (because how can I add you if I don't know who you are?).

Also, I definitely won't add/keep you if:

- your MySpace name has "evil' in it in an non-ironic way or if your profile goes on and on about how evil you are. I'm not looking to add any more evil to my life, thanks.

- you're under 18.

- you post 5 bulletins in an hour - I need to see all my friend's bulletins on my home page!

If I don't add you IT'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING PERSONAL! I'm sure you're a cool person, it's just that we don't need to be in close touch. Anyway, you could always drop me an email from time to time, or add me as a "favorite" and stay on top of photos that way. Thanks for understanding.

Music:

Duffy, Weekend Players, Bollywood Funk, Verve Remixed, Fela, Frou Frou, Dylan, Flunk, Ivy, The Bats, Cut Chemist, Nightmares on Wax, Massive Attack, Thievery Corp., The New Pornographers, Zero 7, Brazilian Girls, William Orbit, Joe Strummer, Carmen Rizzo, Gainsbourg (Serge and Charlotte)...

Television:

Yes, I watch TV. Welcome to the 21st Century! TV is fantastic. Well, as fantastic as any homogenous entertainment and information medium, like, say, the internet. You have to be selective. Try checking out Mad Men, Burn Notice, Swingtown, True Blood, Weeds, anything on IFC...

Books:

9 Stories, the Professor of Desire, The Sheltering Sky, Footsucker, The Things They Carried, the Age of Spiritual Machines, Crossing to Safety, White Noise, Swan's Way...
