Me on LinkedIn , yet another social networking site, because I'm an Internet whore.
Oh yeah I gots a Facebook too.
anyone who wants to start a band? You know what if there is something that needs to get done or you want to get done let me know... I will whore myself out for just about anything...

I realized a while ago that my myspace profile was horridly out of date... making references to a messy room I haven't lived in in almost a year 2 years, a smoking habit a couple of months behind me (though the desire is still strong). that started up again in January.
Honestly I have very little interest in "the Space" these days... I met this one fine looking myspace whore and thats about all I need from this site... really its all I came here for... whores that is... in the initial plan it was plural... but you know... funny how these things turn out. at the moment my favorite myspace whore is sitting by my feet crocheting a blanket on our couch...
I suddenly feel like I should be collecting social security...
