Mind your own bee's wax.

What happend to the days when, if you wanted to know something about someone you had to ask them? Or, you could be really sneaky and find out from a friend, of a friend, of a friend. Or, you could use my old trick. Find out the password to their voicemail/answering machine and check their messages. That's only if you really wanted to know something though. Checking someone's messages did not give you near as much access into their personal life as Myspace does. Please do not try this at home. You should only use this trick if the situation calls for extreme messures. Like, your ex is dating someone else, and you are crazy, and cannot sleep until you hear what her voice sounds like. This example is merely hypothetical.


I don't know if I'm for or against private Myspaces. In the case of young girls, I am of course in favor of setting their Myspace to private. Especially if their parents are stupid enough to actually let them have one. In the case of responsible adults, I cannot decide. I am definitely against others having private Myspaces. Especially if the person is someone I would never send a request of friendship to. The reason I don't like having mine set to private is, there are people that are not my friends that look at it. Through Myspace, I can passively use subject matter and commentary to comminicate with these people, without them knowing. Or, that's what I would like to think. But, I did recently put a link to my Myspace on my blogspot and who knows what weirdos could be looking at this. I suppose I could take the link off.


I would like for a few of my friends to set there Myspace to private. For the same reason that there are people looking at my Myspace who are not my friends. I really don't want these people, ok let's just say it, this person, to go nosing through my friends profiles that don't really censor what they or others put on them. So, in this case privacy would be A-OK.


My decision is to take the link off of here and set my Myspace back to non-private and rest my head. I wonder what my great-grandmother worried about that was similar to Myspace. Hmmm...can't think of anything as petty that would consume her thoughts. I think she may have been much more consumed with things like, T.B. or the Black Plague or not being shot by Indians. Just a guess.
