Today I logged into MySpace for the first time in a long time. The band that I am in has a myspace (myspace.com/TheMatrishkaHouse) but I hadn't logged into my personal myspace in about six months or a year.
I've been telling everyone I know about the show we have on Tuesday at The Modified Arts and I thought it'd be fun to invite some old friends. Its so weird going back into the past through. My friends list was a jumble of ex-bandmates, ex-girlfriends, and people I don't even remember. It was also surprising how many people had moved.
I think the internet is great but its amazing how its become a record of life. I can certainly track my life through various websites. But when you start to look at all these other social media sites it gets really convulated and jumbled. And how many myspace friends are friends? Not very many.
I also wonder where a lot of people have ended up. Sometimes its nice to see a myspace that's been updated but it doesn't replace a good phone call. I used to be much more active online but I don't find the connections very deep. And the constant updating information online, friending people, unfriending, status updates, relationship updates, posting or not posting pictures... its a little much. :)
