As you all know I have been sick and tired of myspace for a long, long ,long time as a means of communicating on a personal level, so fuck myspace this profile will disappear in around a week's time.

-James

For the longest time now my brain has been clogged up with this, but as of late its really been on my mind.

Why in an age of "communication" do we all use technology to avoid doing just that? Why should I have to use a mobile phone that sends a signal to a mast in the middle of nowhere or a satellite miles away up in space to be able to retain friendships with people who all live within walking distance of me? Why do half of my friends only seem to exist as names in text and digital photographs most of the time? I WANT HUMAN COMPANY, I want to hear a voice, I want to see a smile that's not from a photograph of some half forgotten drunken night out months ago where people were taking pictures instead of actually being there...
