I used to be a big Myspacer....one can prolly tell that by lookin at what ive done to my page. It used to be in flash but none of my friends at there jobs could never get to my page becuase there employer's computers werent flash enabled...booo! To add to whats been said, there's been so much bulletin advertisments lately, ive had to delete some people as well. How they got on my friend's list in the first place is still a mystery cuase ive never approved them. I used to actually have myspace alerts to my cell phone but ive had to cut down the options selected because I kept getting add req's form college chicks in Boston, as it turns out, they were all p*rn stars looking to advertise there lil web cam. All there add req's were bombarding my cell with texts it seemed like every minute. To anyone out there who hasnt added me, the link is on my sig. Hit me up....but with no advertisments attached!
I dont have any of these either. It's just a waste of time for someone who is on the go! Getting in touch with old acquaintances, well what the hell is the point? You don't accomplish anything except having someone new to bother you with an unwanted favor. And I mean if they were your "good ol' friends" to begin with you would have never lost touch! I also never plan on getting on, ever Im going to stick with emails and telephones
And don't you just hate those same few people who keep calling you when they only need something. It pisses me off so much. They call once a week asking the same damn questions and you never hear from them until they want another favor. I am self sufficient. If I need something I go out and get it. Whether it be a tomato or a single note card. I never ask anybody for anything. Only because I believe in reciprocity but for some reason it hasn't worked out so well on my behalf lol. So anyways I only answer to a select few. Im just thinking about calling T-Mobile and seeing if I can block those numbers and what not. You think its possible??
gross. or maybe i'm upset that i can't sell an idea for 500 million bucks. EXACTLY. i guess it turns out that "phock off", "blow it out your arse", and calling someone the "c" word isn't enough these days. the next time i get into an argument with someone that has no idea what myspace is, i'm going to tell them "you're out of my top 8". i'll probably get a look of confusion or something, but at least i'll have the upperhand in them not knowing what the phock i'm talking about.
I dont really understand myspace. And dont really want to. But see it from my admittedly inexperienced viewpoint that its another degeneration of society's communicational abilities. If you want to have meaningful friends, take the time to phone them, meet up and go for coffee etc. its all about the quality, not the quantity.
this is the ridiculousness (if that's a word) that i was trying to point out. the thread can be locked now. google, myspace, and starbucks are going to become umbrella corp and then the world will implode or something.
No, I dont have myspace too, I have a cellphone, but I dont use it a lot. But I dont know is the same, but I talk a lot with my friends through MSN messenger.
I dunno Maybe I'm the odd one cause. . I have them . .but never check them never do anything with the site I got a Myspace on a whim .. while seeing a friends site I got a Yahoo 360 . .cause someone added me to their list and it seems rather insistant that I have one I never go to them . . I never check them . .or seldom do If you got my email or my number. . . use those These things don't work for me Rocket River
Actually I don't thinki denigration is the right word Maybe *changing* Think about it. . . you can communicate far more widely now than ever but it is like pizza dough . . the wider you spread it. . the thinner it gets so while you can talk to more people. . .you don't talk to them as deeply Rocket RIver
Yeah but for us married old guys its a good way to keep in touch with people you haven't seen in many many years. Most of my good ol friends live in different cities etc. Plus guys don't really just call others guys on the phone to chat. Myspace is like American Idol. It is so bad that it's good.
A girl got me to start myspace back in December. While I thought it was stupid at first, I became hooked. To me, it is a great way to keep in touch with people. I've dated through it (I think 4, so far), plus I've run into lot's of old friends that I wouldn't have found, otherwise. While they might be acquaintances, they are still good people who I love getting back in touch with. Don't knock it until you try it. How anyone doesn't try something that is free, and then says it's dumb confounds me.
I agree. Sometimes I don't know what to say on the phone to my buddies who live out of the city. A phone call with someone I know in town lasts less than a minute, as we usually plan to meet later. But a conversation with out of towners with no point usually lasts less than 4 minutes and is a bit akward. For me its easier to keep in contact with someone electronically or by just posting a single sentence comment on Myspace, like "happy day mofo."
Time is money There are better things to do with the time you spend checking up on those things. Now I dont want to get on anyone's bad side. If this is your form of entertainment then fine, I won't complain. I mean I would be pissed if someone told me I was wasting my time watching sports all the time. Technically it is the biggest waste of time, but I enjoy it ever so much that it's probably the only thing keeping me alive. People's preferences and priorities are different. Do whatever you want..
that makes 3 people I know of who havent said to themselves - "I wanna watch a 3hour movie with a pain in the ass lead actor (Leonardo) an average looking lead woman (cant even remember her name) where the story is predictable and we all know how it ends anyway - the ship goes down... me and a buddy are the other 2. I scorn people who try to tell me I should watch it. I've come this far and im not about to give in now.
Make that four. I have zero desire to see that movie. On top of that, I also get really irritated with people (usually girls) who insist that I need to see it. Leo is irritating and reason enough for me to say "oh hell no.".
To each their own. I loved the movie. Regardless of the sappy romance, the movie was very historically accurate. But, hey! If you don't like the history channel, chances are you won't like this movie. But I've been interested in the Titanic since I was 7. To me it is a fascinating story.
You know, we've reached a stage where not using instant messaging is the fast lane to social detachment and isolation (at least among my age group - I'm 25). I haven't touched instant messaging for over two years, so I know this from personal experience As for MySpace.. I don't use it, but I do have a Friendster account that's rarely updated On the bright side, though, my social life is now extremely.. distilled. And I've realised that this is the way I prefer it Man, just when I thought I was alone in the universe.. you guys come along
