I’m not sure why the idea of my brother’s Myspace account makes me feel old; considering he’s older. He tells me that Myspace isn’t necessarily for fourteen year olds and that he’s made many a great friends and found phenomenal artists on there.
The other day at a team meeting my boss suggested that we get a Myspace account, which made me giggle a little; we’re an urban eco planning firm… I’m unsure as to what exactly we’ll put on our Myspace account.
His logic was we needed to keep up with emerging trends. While I don’t dispute that I’m wary of keeping up with trends just for the sake of it.
I’ve don’t’ have a Myspace account, heck I didn’t even last long over at Live Journal. It’s funny when people declare they can be whomever they want on the internet. Can they really? I find that just as in real life I’m not a very sociable person online either.
I wonder who’d be in my top eight if I had a Myspace account. What happens when I fall out with one of “my friends†do I just bump them from my list? That’s just tactless, but you can’t just leave them there, can you?
I wrote this at work during my “down timeâ€, hours pass, I go back to reread it and the little voice in my head says, “Child, what are you rumbling on about? You don’t have to get a Myspace account if you don’t want – and your rationalization or whatever the heck is pointlessâ€
I was going to delete it but it’s a slow-drama day so it stays.

Elsa, Elsa, Elsa: stop trying to be perfect. Compared to the scatological stuff out there in blogs yours is a refreshing change. I wrote a post on my reflecting eccentric world… blog last week, in which I was happy a sex blogger was back, and her coming back after four months was indicative of how critical it is for the virtual to reconcile with reality. You need to sort realityout before you get to the virtual, and there’s an ever-eternal vigilance, as it were, in trying to get the balance.
I find it highly suspect those who have full-time jobs and are able to blog regularly, though in my case, I make the time, often using lunch times, and writing the posts before-hand.
THis should stay, cos this reflects YOU and no-one else. I like it. Is that any consolation?;-)) Chin up, babe!!
