Current mood:  fascinated
I've realized lately that nobody seems to use MySpace anymore for anything but advertising and shameful self promotion.  Particularly porn stars and bands that have little to no interest in forging a network of anything.  They seem to think that the world owes them something for friend requesting a stranger somewhere five states over.  I would imagine this tactic works far better for the porn stars than the bands.  Afterall, the Internet is the house that porn built. 

Maybe this trend is because I haven't used MySpace for so long that my circle of things has fizzled out like flat soda left on the countertop too long.  Whenever I message someone on MySpace anymore, it's common for the reply to come more than a month later with a comment such as, "Sorry it took so long for me to respond, I hardly ever log into my MySpace account anymore." 

In any case, the world seems to be all about Facebook these days.  Maybe it's because Facebook has fewer cluttered advertisements which are more toned down in their nature.  Or maybe it's because Facebook seems to be a more approachable name than MySpace (which seems so self-serving).  Or maybe it's because this world likes bandwagons even more than celebrity deaths and shock news.  Although, in my personal opinion, I think it's because Facebook allows you to view your page in certifiable Pirate English!

Ok, I'm finished.  But one last thing.  Speaking of shameless self promotion (might as well give the devil his due), I'll be playing at the Toad Tavern in Littleton, CO on July 2nd @ 8:00 PM.  Tickets are $3 and I would be delighted if several people came (25-30 to be more specific).  I might even get asked back if that's the case. 

Enough pussyfooting around, back to that sexy piano waiting for me in the corner.
