Bad Pop Cultural References: Take One

So today is a slow day at work - for those of you in the know, this will come as a huge shock... But as I'm looking online for new Web sites to check out, I remember that I have a MySpace account... Which I hadn't logged onto since Lindsay Lohan was the Miley Cyrus of the day - you know, before she became the Amy Winehouse of the day...

Well, since Facebook is so much more "grown-up" I am now down to about eight MySpace friends - a calculation that came about after coming to the harsh realization that Tom isn't really my friend... In case you don't know - and really, if you're over 25, why would you? - Tom is they guy who started MySpace, so everybody starts off with Tom as their friend... Kind of like when you move to a new school or ward and everybody is a little suspicious of you except for the retarded kid who wants to be friends with everybody...

I don't have much else to say right about it right now, but since I decided to start posting more, not everything is going to be a gem... You can't force this stuff - it's not like I'm writing Black Eyed Pea songs or something... Speaking of which, here's an open announcement to the people who keep requesting BEP on radio stations everywhere: If you really need to hear Boom Boom Pow or I Gotta Feeling right now, buy the freakin' album, otherwise, you're just going to have to wait 10 minutes like the rest of us...

I did receive a message from another MySpace user who didn't actually want to be my friend, but invited me to read his Very Serious Blog... It was about life and death and important stuff like that - he had black and white photos of himself looking like he was thinking Very Serious Blog thoughts - which is about a third of the blogs out there, BTW (sidenote: I think I can write an entire entry on the contents of people's blogs... maybe not

a whole entry, but basically it boils down to these: Very Serious Blogs, Artsy Picture Blogs, New Baby/Family Blogs (thanks to my friend Britta for letting me use her blog as an example), Mormon Blogs, Money-Making Blogs, and Look At My Life How Awesome Am I Blogs... I'll let you decide what is what and where andyfields.net stands...)

I actually started writing a VSB once, but I couldn't even get Tom to read it... Some friend... And this is back before he had a billion friends, and we lived together at college... Me, Tom and Shawn Fanning - just three guys and a dream... Three dreams, actually. Unfortunately mine was about a Tupperware party with Sesame Street characters that turned into Blair and Tootie from The Facts of Life... Stupid pointless no-money-making dream...
