Myspace vs. Facebook

So, here I am again, at work...bored stiff...randomly searching the world wide web for anything to peak my interest.  Unfortunately, every hit of the "Go" button brought no more interesting items to the computer screen.  Therefore, I decided to dig into my own past.  You see, since becoming a member of Facebook, as well as many of my friends and family...yes, even my mother has an account...I have completely abandoned my orignal link to the web, Myspace.  I think I check it about every two months...but it's really for nothing since there is no activity on it.

Anyway, today I decided to check it again only this time, I wasn't looking for updates or messages.  I was looking at my profile to remember what I had written about myself and to see the qualities of that page.  I was entering the site with the full intention of deleting it but found that I couldn't do so until I transfered a lot of the items to another outlet.  Basically, I found that I love the pictures and slide shows that I have installed on that page...as well as the baby tickers telling me exactly how old my runts are...decorations of favorite quotes, and a list of my other favorites, i.e. books, movies & tv shows.  Nothing that really can't be told on another site, but it is just an odd connection.  You know, this was my first networking site...and it's a little hard to let go.  Don't worry, I'm really not that freakishly obsessed...I will delete it...but only after I transfer the information :)

So, with that in mind, I would like to share some of the items I have listed on that page for those of you who have never seen them firsthand...

Any and all individuals who risk their lives on a daily basis to protect the lives of those around them and the freedoms of this country.  All of our ancestors because let's face it America, if the children of the modern world had to go back in time and survive, we'd fail miserably. Please take the time to thank the elderly...it's because of them that you're here with your modern conveniences.
