Haven't been here in awhile. Is there anybody out there? ( Myspace Blog)

I posted this on my Myspace page, felt like posting it on here. Yes..I still have a Myspace account and sometimes I actually post on there.



Haven't been here in awhile. Is there anybody out there?

Its funny to come back here and to see a part of me that i almost forgot. Fucking Myspace. I remember this being THE social networking community. I was about 21-23 years old when i first started being on here because of Elvis wanted to promote our band. At the time it really was a Space to pimp out your band and communicate with other musicians through their bands profile. People who liked the band would also create a profile and share them with their friends. Simple and practical place in the net. At the time Facebook was only opened to invites through colleges and was definitely not the way it is today with invitations to someones online "mafia" family or the self gratuitousness arrogant status updates. Friendster was still a major player in the game as well. But i was never on there, cause i felt like Myspace was enough as well as Handling only a few online forums and a Hotmail account. Now i have a blog, a vlog, twitter, Facebook, YouTube, several email accounts for personal business, work, family, dozen other online forums, podcast, Flickr, pod-bean, fuck it to hell i'm all over the god damn net now!

Its funny coming back here and trying to remember the person i was back then. How trivial things were and how I blew them out of proportion, and how certain small moments I took for granted then, and the guilt i feel now because I cherish those moments most of all.

I don't even know why I stopped over here in the first place, I guess i just wanted to see if i had an account still. I know this is a dead space where I can just type and not care who reads this anymore. Not like my other blogs and other online activities i participate where i only want a certain audience to see/read me. ....I shouldn't be that way. I should just be honest with myself, i mean i already put up my life on YouTube for all to see what i have been up to for the year 2011. I remember putting up blogs here not caring what people thought. I just felt like I had a story to tell.

So, Hello old friend, thanks for giving me an outlet then and i guess even now. I'm glad you didn't de-activate my account. I'm glad were still friends, Myspace. I'll stop by every now and again.
