This isn't the best way to get in touch with me.

About Me

MySpace, I think it's time to move on. That is, I'm leaving you.

In the beginning it was so fresh and fun and full of promise, but we never really moved past that, did we? Pretty soon the passion was gone we were just going through the motions. Now I grudgingly log on every couple of weeks or so, and you greet me with meaningless bulletin spam and friend requests from shitty bands and people I don't know.

I've felt this way for a while, but I kept hoping something would rekindle the spark we once had. A redesign, maybe? But really, I think deep down I was just wishing you could be more like Facebook. If you must know, the thing that pushed me over the edge was when you offered Hilary Clinton as a "Cool, New" person for me to meet. It's just so obvious that you don't even know me any more. Honestly, I don't know that we were ever really in love.


We can still be friends. You can get in touch with me via my internet web site , or just find me on Facebook or Virb .

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I'd like to meet someone who can explain the whole concept of the "extended network." That never made sense to me.

For instance, I'm looking at Mitt Romney's profile , and it's telling me that Mitt Romney is in my "extended network." It seems like that might mean that one of the people I'm friends with is friends with Mitt Romney (which seems unlikely, but whatever), but then I go over to W's profile and he's not in my extended network, even though Eddie is friends with him. Eddie's in my extended network, which is sort of useless information to me, since he's in my friend list.

Come to think of it, the whole extended network thing was kind of doomed from the start, since everyone is friends with Tom .
