Realizing I'm just too old for MySpace...

I've always been a journaler. I guess that would be the correct term. I better check Merriam-Webster...nope, nothing there. Okay, I've always found comfort in writing in my journal, let's put it that way. I haven't taken the time to journal much in the last four or five years. Motherhood hasn't left a lot of time for me to do anything. I've just started working out again and really taking interest in things that I want to do (which I'm sure will be posted in future blogs). I created a MySpace page to connect with old friends. While I enjoyed making everything pretty, the functionality was just not there for me. Maybe it's just too functional, too many options, too much maintenance. Get your theme, reply to this message, send a comment, accept this request, take this quiz...now my pretty page is filled with (for lack of a better word) junk. Then I looked at the demographics. Most everyone on MS is under 30. I'd heard on a local morning radio show that anyone over 30 that had a MySpace page should lie and say they are under 30. Sadly, my MySpace expiration date was 4 years ago. It served it's purpose though. I made contact with some old friends and co-workers that I hadn't chatted with since my hiatus into the deep, dark world of clubbing and then into the exhausting, yet rewarding world of parenthood. Even though the MS blog was appealing, I just want something simple. This seems to fit me right now.
