I was telling people I was going to do this a long time now and now I think it’s time. I am going to delete my MySpace account. Since I don’t have any use for it anymore. All it dose is help people jump to conclusions about what kind of person I am, with out even talking to me first. Most of the time if it’s a negative conclusion, they just miss understood the facts and if they would just talk to me they would realize that. I don’t have time to write in my blog and keep my MySpace politically correct (so people want assume they hate me).
It’s funny, when I tell people I am going to do this I get two statements back. The first statement is, “Good I hate MySpace too!” and the second is, “If you delete your MySpace how will I talk to you”? I first one doesn’t bother me and I was expecting to hare it, but I can’t get over the second.
Are these people joking? Do they really think that if I get rid of my account that they will never talk to me again? How did we get in contact before? I bet you could call me or send me an email, if you remember how. It amazes me how people are so dependent on a website.
That is the second reason I am doing this. I don’t want to promote something that people are using to replace real human interaction. If you are my friend then you should know that I am going to talk to you, and that I don’t need a MySpace account to make plans with you. I think the only people I am going to miss out on are the ones that I don’t see everyday. But still they could just email or visit this blog to track me down.
I don’t know why my feelings about this site changed so much? Maybe it’s because I am getting older, or the fact I enjoy a good face to face conversation and hate having one that takes place in over 25 MySpace messages.
So in closing I would like to say stop reading about people and start listening to them. It’s amazing what you can learn about someone with a good conversation over coffee.
Jason Mosley (aka Mr. Baconpants) is the king of all bacon. He started this blog in 2004 to share his love of bacon and beer. 
Sean Brett (aka Bacon Knight) is the amazing co-host of Bacon Live, the weekly audio/video podcast about bacon and more.
Beth Mosley (aka Mrs. Baconpants) is a lover of good food and beer. She enjoys cooking and trying new recipes (with bacon).
God, I hate Myspace
No really, I’m not a fan. Half the profiles are spam, the other half are people I don’t want to talk to anyway.
It’s a nice feeling to know I am not alone… I used to get 6-10 spam profiles a day… and your right hafe the people on there I never really needed to talk to.
It feels good to be free again
Hey dude. Lets do coffee.
Your place or mine
We can talk about Ayn
I could never get away with Myspace. There is some agro going on between themselves and photobucket. I use photobucket a lot!
Great Blog here!
Greetings from North Yorkshire, UK.
Mrs. Nesbitt,
Greetingso to you too
I like your blog, there are lots of eye candy (good pictures)!
Also I glad I am done with myspace I feel like I am finlly starting to grow up a little.
Yes mrsnesbitt has a nice blog.A nice read on the easter season.Good to see the reason is not lost
I’m not the biggest myspace fan, but I am addicted to myspace mobsters
Wow I read a post like this and think, Man are that many people actually using Myspace.
A friend told me about it once and I checked it out. First impression was: Oh Good! the internet has a Ghetto.
I am so heavy a tech geek that I force myself to not use the internet as a social outlet. Aside from gaming directly with family members(No matter how old I get it’s still Fun to shoot my older brother)
I even find it supremely messed up to type:
“That is the second reason I am doing this. I don’t want to promote something that people are using to replace real human interaction.”
Posting this on a blog is replacing real human interaction. If you are going for Irony, you nailed it.
@Skyline
My blog is not a social network. Its media… so this dose not replace human interaction. Say my blog is replacing human interaction is like saying people who create magazines are replacing human interaction.
Still I am glad your a fellow myspace hater.
I just wanted to point out that I was not going to Irony.
I was going for Irony.
Hence: “I force myself to not use the internet as a social outlet.” While typing in a blog.
Then getting on someone else’s case.
I can see your point, however you cannot add your own content to a magazine like you can a blog. Because you can add your own content, that pretty much defines it as interactive.
Not to a myspace level or anything but I think it still qualifies.
As a kid we had BBS systems(before internet, about 15 years) and one was called The NBA (Nun Beaters Anonymous) It was text based and pretty funny to me then so I can’t rag on kids using Myspace but I am surprised at the level of adults who cling to it.
It’s seems like they get a feeling of tech savvyness or trendyness because they have a myspace page. Just an observation.
Cheers to MYSPACE HATING!!!
