I've always been one to jot down my ideas and emotions down on paper, or blog about it, or whatever. I don't really like or even enjoy the glamor and hype that is MySpace and Facebook. When MySpace first launched, I was intrigued, but what sold me was the music aspect and the blogging. But nowadays everyone has a music page or no one gives two shits about blogs anyway.
When Facebook became the new toy everyone was ecstatic. I always felt that I didn't belong in the whole "social networking" hype, I mean, I listen to music, I enjoy talking to people, but that isn't my life.
Or maybe I'm just trying to hard to be the rebel, to fight against the norm.
Which can't be the case, 'cause I blog.
So why is it really that I don't reside on Facebook and have abandoned MySpace? I log on to check messages but that's what eMail was for, and yes I still do that lower case "e" juxtaposed to "Mail." I'm from the 90's (which isn't saying much), 56K was the tone of the birth of this new digital age. That sound still brings warm fuzzy feelings of signing on late at night, customizing my first website at the age of 12 (Maxpages?) given half of the content was Pokémon related (Pikachu and I go back.. Mine was named Piko, he liked to write with crayons). I'M OFF TOPIC!
I just don't feel comfortable. I will not lie, a good chunk of time is spent on the computer, but I'm not hitting the refresh button (Ctrl+R, F5, the 'Home' link) every 5 minutes on my MySpace page. The only time I did that was 'cause I was anxious for a response from this dude in Hicksville to wanted to be my band's bassist, he turned me down in case you were wondering.
Here, it's kind of fun.
Still some red tape, but I do what I want, and it's simple, which is why I liked Xanga until it became another MySpace doppelgänger.
I will stay here until I start working on my website, which will be my final move around the Internet for a permanent residence.
I guess we all just want our little corner so people can stop by, have a cup of coffee and chat.
