Zel-kun’s Words

I’m beginning to think it is.  It becoming more and more common for me to open up my Outlook, and see ‘MySpace New Friend Request.’  This in and of itself isn’t bad, but then I look to see the profile of some emo weirdo or pop-loving dipstick girl that I have nothing in common with.  Makes me wonder if they even read my profile, my opinion is a big ‘NO.’

To make matters worse, many of these profiles have over TEN-THOUSAND friends.  I want everyone to think of that number a moment, let it sink into your minds, let it fester among old sociology and psychology lessons (if’n you had those sort of classes like I did, if not, I’m sure you can still see the point I’m making).

Yes, you’re so cool.  You have ten-thousand close and personal friends I’m sure you’ve shared many fun moments with.  You have ten-thousand people who love you, you’re just so damn awesome, I can barely contain myself.

Besides these occasional desperate people that sometimes make their way into my inbox, MySpace isn’t so bad.  Quite ingenious in its design, really: a free social network, a place for people who aren’t so savvy with a computer to have a piece of the internet to call their own (hence, MySpace).  That Tom guy may have spent some money to get it running, but now large corporations and new movies have MySpace pages (even World of Warcraft), and according to a recent issue of Wired, was just purchased by Rupert Murdoch.  You may know him as the president of the FOX network.
Also, I’ll have a link to my MySpace page put up if anyone’s interested.  Not much there, mainly started it to have the esteemed privilege of posting comments on my friends pages.

Welp, that’s all for now.

Zel-kun out.
