Where does it stop?

Alright, I might have a problem. I think that I may be networking a bit too much. Hell, I don't even have a Twitter account (yet) and on an average evening after work I can't pull myself away from the computer screen in under an hour.

How many people actually give a damn about what me, some nobody from Denver, has to say? Sure I've got my 158 "friends" on MySpace (many of these are bands, and of the non-bands most profiles have gone stagnant), I've got my 56 "friends" on Facebook (most of these people are acutally my friends), and now I've got this site to contend with and please my six, yes just six "fans,"

All of this has a purpose though, and I am hoping that by joining this site it brings me a little closer to achieving my goal; I want a writing job. I believe that I need to be doing this in order to get my name out there more and hope on the microscopic chance that somebody on the inside sees some of my work and likes it enough to pay me for it, rather than just give it away for free on here, MySpace, and Facebook.

But I digress. My problem is that my precious evening hours away from my hated job are being swallowed up by a computer screen. I could have been on my skateboard for an hour or two this evening, enjoying the late spring dusk, being active, and nailing down a frontside 5-0 on the six foot mini ramp by my house, but I had my internet session to attend to, and which I still am for some damn reason.

So where does it stop? I'm thinking that MySpace is just about dead and Facebook is going to increase in popularity, especially as Twitter grows, because the MySpace stragglers will finally make the jump to Facebook as my cool Facebook friends are making the jump to Twitter, which is eventually going to force me to get a Twitter account to keep up with the stupid crap that my friends do all day. From there then what? Some other site is going to pop up that is going to be cool enough for my friends to sign up for and pointlessly interact with one another with posts like "I'm soooooooooo over it!" or "is drnuk. send hlep," and my problem won't be solved because for some damn reason using these sites has become a valid means of legitimate communication in my social circles.

What ever happened to using a phone or writing a letter? I guess this is a condition of society.

I"m logging off now.
