myspace is taking over

I don't have a myspace account. I have a facebook I check every other week if I'm lucky. Point is, I will never have a myspace. Blasphemy, I know, but it is the sad truth, especially since it has taken over the internet. What began as a simple social networking site was sold for half a billion dollars, has regular appearances on nearly every tv station aside from the weather channel, and is the 4th most visited site on the internet (behind only google, yahoo! and msn). A local clothes shop in downtown Chico - perhaps the most ass-backwards town - pays an employee an extra 2 hours a day to browse myspace and do friend management, etc... Imagine getting PAID to sit on myspace. Every 14-25 year old's dream come true.

I don't know where that rant came from, but it's over now.

In other news, I got my Eurail pass via DHL last Friday. I have a plane ticket, eurail pass, a backpack, and a bit of cash. I am so very ready to just jump on the plane and GO. Doesn't matter where, just get out of here! I have 2 maps of europe and about 3 books open on our coffee table in the living room, highliter in hand and money belt at the ready (thanks, Rick Steves...) planning the trip. Gah.

Not much of a rant if I do say so myself. At the moment I'm using my myspace account to insult and grade other people's. I figure that a giant collection of every crappy site on the internet is just begging for a web-review.

lol nice rant, I caved though. I actually have a myspace account that I update regularly. It's just easy to find, get ahold of, and keep in touch with your friends there. I actually am coding a site though. As soon as it's done I'm going to get a guy I know to host it (for a fee of course). However I doubt that will completely be the end of my Myspace account...

I have customized enough profiles that I know some passwords to log in and see pics, blogs, keep updated, etc..., so that's how I keep in touch. I don't have an account, but I'm still on it a bit
