I heard about it from
![[info]](http://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small}
when he booked me to perform last year at William & Mary College, but then it was still only accessible by students.
I’m on
’s computer, and I saw his link, so I thought I’d give it a shot. I like it’s functionality.
Now that it’s available to everyone, I figured: “What the hey?!” Now you can find me on Facebook.
It is unfortunate that Myspace is the current leader in “Hey, all! Let’s look at these advertisements and pretend this is a wonderful social networking experiment!” Admittedly, I have a hard time not logging into my account several times a day. Sometimes dozens. Because my day is not complete unless I’ve looked at 3,745 badly laid out pages, chock-full of YouTube screens and glittery images that revel in whatever holiday is near approach. That, and all of the teenagers who feel the world needs to see their cleavage and/or ass cracks.
Man, I’m really not digging Myspace. I closed my account at Friendster 4 years ago to be added to the fray at Myspace. Sometimes I think that may have been a bad idea. How is Friendster doing?
On the other hand, Facebook is sleek, friendly, and it looks as though most of the horrors of Myspace can be avoided.

To cure your website ills, use Firefox, tell it to ask you every time before storing cookies, install the NoScript, AdBlock Plus and RefControl extensions and configure them. For added affect, install the GreaseMonkey and Platypus extensions and you can further customize how sites appear and function. I have not seen an ad or had problems with websites in months.
The trouble is Myspace Music is extremely convenient and useful. Of course, there’s the problem of the smiley face shouting “Hello-o-o! SAY something!” at you while you’re listening to a song.
hahaha. Glad you finally joined facebook. There are still plenty of teens and ass cracks, but i appreciate not having to try to read yellow text on a white background, etc. anymore. Plus, one of my friends was already seriously jealous to see I’d added Mighty Mike McGee to my friend list!
Take care, and take pudding,

I still enjoy MySpace, however, I’m one of those people with sparkles and YouTube videos on my profile… Heh.
I agree, I am pro-facebook, but it’s not as omnicient as myspace. which is sleekly comforting, kind of.
