The Loneliest Space

About Me

Hi there...i may win as most backwards retro-joiner, because this is my first time having my own myspace page. Its pathetic. I feel like i am wearing legwarmers and crimped hair and totally out of style.I officially have like 15 friends! And i have received 10 messages. The last one was from Isidro. Isidro? Who could that be? i said to myself...some hot latin man in Argentina who maybe wants to share his life with me, and we can teach eachother our seperate languages...and then i opened it and found it was an advertisement for loans.This is all so exciting. A fresh beginning...its sort of like coming to school when you are a freshman...thinking, "I can come up with a whole new personality! Its the beginning of the New Me! Watch out world!" but then in a week you are the same neurotic mess you have always been.but i do have a website where you can find out what i have been doing for the past 8 years of the internet age:www.mikealbo.comalso check out my comic strip soap opera GLASS HOUSES...it is here! on Myspace! The only dimension that matters!
