Myspace and Facebook apart of social lives

The total integration of technology in our daily lives seems to be an unavoidable consequence of it's invention, so I'm not surprised to hear people talk about it all the bloody time. Doesn't mean I necessarily like it very much, though. Social sites introduce the opportunity to share videos, songs, or whatever you want, and they make it easier to keep up on the music scene. If people used it strictly as a tool, it would be A-OK in my books. I use Facebook to find out about local shows, and I use Myspace to hear the bands before I spend money to see them.

However, since I think a lot social games are an appalling waste of energy, I really hate seeing yet another avenue for pointless human drama. Top friends? WTF? Fuck this ranking bullshit. I have close friends who know exactly who they are. There's no ladder, you just know me or you don't. It's not hard to know which category you fall into. I never played into that popularity contest bullshit back in high school and I still don't.

Maybe it's a musician thing

It might be an artist thing. Myself and my friends are artists, writers, musicians, and/or actors, and we all do it. I like the web integration a lot. We chat about things we saw on Wikipedia, YouTube, our favorite webcomics, even 4chan. I like having nerd friends. ^_^

Jam it back in, in the dark.
