Facebook, MySpace, Classmates oh my!

I don't know why I keep signing up for these sites. Half the time I don't even know how I got there in the first place but I fall for it and sign up. Now Facebook's pretty cool, have made some reconnections there and kind of figured out how it works but I don’t get the games and the scavenger hunts and all that. I don’t have time for that crap anyway so if anyone wanted me to play a game or join a hunt or anything like that sorry if I disappointed you.

MySpace I still can't figure out although now I find out from watching "The View" that for aspiring musicians MySpace is the place to be NOT Facebook. HUH? But I was just starting to get the hang of Facebook and I even have friends!

Now I somehow got hoodwinked into signing up for classmates but what a scam that is. You have to PAY to really send an e-mail, post on someones 'wall', or look at anyone’s stuff, or see who’s been looking at your stuff. And while I might pay for a lot of things that I probably don’t need well, I’m just not paying for that! Still I did send out a few friend requests to a few familiar names. Wonder if I’ll hear back.

So far the only site I really enjoy and really get really sucked into is YouTube. I have a few performance, and other video’s up on my You Tube channel. I like that I get a channel! That sites not so good for hooking up with old friends like these others are but I have connected with many other musicians and potential fans and I love watching the videos.

So if you found me on MySpace or Facebook or Classmates and I haven’t put anything up yet please check back. I’ll figure it out eventually.

I suppose there is something to this networking thing. I could use connections these days since loosing my job. Once my disability runs out (around December) I will be shamelessly contacting anyone who even knows my name or sat behind me in math class to see if I can find a job. Unless of course “The Secret” really does work and I get that million dollar check in the mail in January……..
