I'm Already Gone...

This is my first official blog on Blogger.


If you followed my link here from Facebook or Myspace, welcome.


For everyone else, Hello! I'll introduce myself more in the next blog, but for now I have some goodbyes to finish up.


As I stated in the title, I'm already gone. I left Myspace. What a fuckin' disaster that place has become. I did enjoy it for several years. I made some friends, some enemies, and some frienemies. Just like life. But, also like life, sometimes you have to move on. The trick is knowing when it's the right time and then doing it. Don't hang around forever thinking things will change. Sometimes you have to be the one to change things for yourself.


I read this article today and finally the light went off in my head *Ding*


I see what's happening. The Myspace I've used for years isn't dying or changing, it's already dead. No longer a social network, Myspace is gearing up to be a "social entertainment" site, with plans to connect to Facebook, complete with a Myspace application on Facebook.

Well, it's official to me. Myspace is over and done. Or, I'm done and over Myspace. 


Take your pick.


That leads me here... http://jimmck.blogspot.com/


I'm also on Facebook now, for any of you who haven't found me yet...

<---- The link is over here

For those of you who are familiar with me, I've written in a few areas. I write political blogs, sarcastic blogs, drama blogs, and many other random bs blogs. It's not that I'm mult-talented like that, I just have a short attention span and tend to wander all over cyberspace.


I'll try to work on a little focus now that I'm on a more 'prestigious' site than Myspace. Of course, I define 'prestigious' by really low standards, especially after being on Myspace, but I 've already found some great writers on Blogger and hope I can aspire to do better. 

*Ahem*

Well, it's a goal. We should all have goals....even if they are a bit ridiculous.


I also found SiteModel.net, thanks to a few blogs posted on Myspace about it. I would link you to my profile there, but the site is down for maintenance at the moment. *sigh*  When it's back up, I'll post a link or search for me as Jim naa.


It's amazing that I'm not even slightly concerned about their "site issues" right now,  but after being on Myspace I've become accustom to things not working. Overall, it seems like a really cool site. It's pretty much Myspace 1.0 to a tee. I think they have a whole new series of users piling in the sign up screen, looking for refuge from Myspace, which might explain the serious bandwith issues they are having. They have no idea what just dropped on their lap.


Well, I don't have much else to share. I just wanted to say my goodbyes to Myspace and let everyone know where to find me. It was a great site and thoroughly enjoyed it. All the happiness, all the headaches. Now it's time to move on and see where I go from here.I know this much. I won't miss that shithole. Not too much. Well, maybe none at all after awhile.

Welcome to Beta Hell! 3.0

Lately this place has become the clusterfuck of all clusterfucks.

*sigh*

Having first been force fed this new beta crap, I quickly found a loophole to get me back to 2.0. With the help of some much more computer tech savvy people than myself, of course.

Well, Myspace fixed that little loophole, which is awesome. It's nice to see they are working on fixing something around here, if they at least can't be trusted to fix the damn site.

Left and right I see people bitching and complaining about this new format. Some don't like it, some say it's too cluttered, while others, like myself, are having too many issues with how long it takes to load a page and the inability to navigate around more than 3 or 4 pages in a 24 hour period.

I'm right there with you. Annoyed to shit and liking Facebook more and more each day. I'm gonna be spending more time over there, so if anyone hasn't found me on Facebook yet, there you go.....

NO, this isn't my "I'm Leaving Myspace" dramatic speech, followed by the careful wait for desperate pleas from my "friends" for me to stay. I'm not deleting the profile, I'm just gonna take a hiatus while they see if they can work out a few of these damn glitches. Just a few, not even all of them. Then, if they can work that out, perhaps I'll be back.

Some of you hardcore people are determined to stay here to the bitter end. I applaud you for your bravery, but I don't have it in me. Right now I'm hiding out on the 2.0 blog control page and my 2.0 inbox because those are the only pages left on Myspace that I can navigate thru without getting thrown back into Beta hell. On the plus side, I've had a lot more time to tend to my Frontierville app on Facebook while I wait 30 minutes to an hour for each page to load over here.

I also set up an event. Why should we be leaving Myspace in the first place?

How about the asshats who fucked this site up be the ones to leave?

I'm all for it. I say we send a message to Myspace that we don't want to leave. We want our old site back and we want Mike Jones & Sean Percival gone.

Yes, I'm aware Myspace doesn't give a shit what we think, it's mostly a symbolic gesture. Of course, if enough people join in, perhaps it might gather their attention.


Meh, Wishful thinking.
Here's the event:

I'll be back when they get this shithole back in order. Until then, see you on Facebook!
