DOWN WITH THE BEAST!!!!
I hate it when I wake up so tired and exhausted that I pray for death or even a coma. Then when I do manage to make it out of bed, I shuffle around half unconscious and the future of wide-awakeness seems like an impossible feat.
During these times, I imagine myself still being half asleep after a whole pot of coffee and several hours have past. It just doesn't seem natural that I would get out of this grogginess anytime soon.
Then I always get happily surprised when a cup of joe and an hour later, I am wide awake and ready to tackle the day.
I had one of those mornings today. I'm happy to report....I am fully awake, alert, and ready (but not so eager) to take on the long afternoon and night ahead of me.
I can't really go on without mentioning the elephant hanging over this blog. Yes, it is true. Yes, I did the unthinkable. Yes, I had a moment of insanity but that spontaneity took me to calmer waters and a more peaceful spot...
I DELETED MY MYSPACE.
While the action seemed rash and un-planned, I had actually tangoed with the idea a few times over the past few months. Myspace has turned into a cesspool of "Who's more popular?" and "How many passwords can I phish?". As well as the old classic, "Let's see how many girls I can hook up wit from Myspace...even if they are happily taken, so their page says."
It was fun keeping in touch with all of my friends; old and new. It was exciting to see people's Top List change based on their relationships and friendships with others. It was even better reading and filling out all the crazy quizzes (many of which were recycled countless times...I KNEW I answered question # 15 like a million other times in other quizzes!!!).
But.....all of my close friends and family know where to contact me outside of Myspace. I am reachable on my cell phone, email, YIM (when I remember to turn it on), and other not so mundane ways such as pole-vaulting yourself through my roof, or backing your truck into my living room window.....
Either way, being without a Myspace does not make me dead. Though, I'm sure there are millions of Myspace users who would say otherwise....
It just feels nice to be back in the world of sanity and peace....well...until I turn on CNN and get reminded of how insane our world is...with or without Myspace....damn cynicism!!!
