(expletive deleted)

You know those days when something happens and you know the world will never be the same? Yeah, I don't either. Every once in a while I think I've experienced it, but usually it turns out that no one takes notice and the whole durned cosmic game just keeps rolling along.

Today, I received my first musician friend request on facebook. @#&! Hey, let's take a social networking site that we're already ruining with billions, literally billions, of useless applications that clutter up pages to the point where you can't even find people's walls because they never move things around even though it's incredibly simple to do. Let's figure out a way to give people everything they could possibly ever want, so long as we can make some money off of it. Lets give them so much of what they want that they don't even want it anymore.

Pretty soon you're going to be able to muck up your page with colors and graphics so no one can read it. Pretty soon you're going to be able to garble the hypertext on your page so badly that it automatically shuts down the user's web browser. Every time.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present you with myspace II. I'm about ready to drop the entire internet like a sack of cold potatoes and move to West Texas. I'm getting too old for this.
