What the HeckSpace?

Just moments ago I was perusing my buddy list on iChat, the single greatest chatting program available...but limited only to enlightened computer users (see www.apple.com). My friend Vince had a very intriguing away message up, so I decided to use my investigative techniques to uncover the cryptic message. Because for all I knew, this coded message could lead me to a note hidden behind a painting and then to a house were people used to hold pagan rituals and then to another clue which has to be unlocked by a puzzle but you have to be careful because the vinegar could ruin the map that leads to the treasure of the world....oh sorry, that was daVinci code. But my unraveling of the mystery lead me to a MySpace page, and this is what I want to talk about.

Why is MySpace such a revelation. To me it just looks like a place where people can make hiedeous blogs. I have scores of friends who have a MySpace page and none of the pages that I have seen hold a candle to what my little Blogger has to offer. Furthermore, what is it about MySpace that has the ability to consume so much time out of someone's life?! There are people in our world who walk amongst us, but more often than not are at home gazing into their monitor reading about everyone else's life instead of actually having on of their own!!

You know, I heard on the radio on my way to work (oh, that was a treat let me tell you) that nowadays children are being bullied and humiliated via MySpace. They say that at school, an innocent little pencilbox can get made fun of and then it's over, but if something embarrasing gets posted on a MySpace page for the entire school to see, the humiliation lingers for decades and forces the little Johnny's and Rachel's into therapy for the rest of their lives. How do you think Alice Robinson would have felt if Grace had dubbed her "Alice Lazyface" on MySpace?!

So I guess what I'm admitting is that I'm just a disgruntled near-24-year-old man who is set in my ways. Or more accurately, maybe I'm saying that if you really think you have something to offer the world, make a blog or create your own website. Don't just sit around and read about other people....oh, except for me! I'm exempt from this.

Ok, random rambling of the day is over. Brian should be home soon and we're going to sit down and draft out our first Group Blonk business cards. I drew a couple of logos for consideration. If we need some help, I may post the pictures for a vote. We'll see. Have a great weekend, everyone. Oh, and to my stalker, hope you enjoyed the 2nd post in a week!!
