While my son and I worked on his memory lane school project, I was inspired to post my 2007 Myspace profile song.

MySpace Memory Lane
I Left MySpace
Dear Dan Michalski:
I’m very sorry I talked you into joining MySpace. I know it was a tough decision for you to take that leap with me. Thousands of mindless people with too much time on their hands creating a true dramatic reality show available all day(like, 24/7 Y’all!).
I never wanted to be on MySpace but my niece talked me into signing up when she told me that was the only way she communicated via the Internet. I told her “no way, it’s for pedophiles” and she was all “like, no, it totally has a bad rap for thaaat, but seriously, it’s really cool”. Reluctantly, I signed up. A week later she deleted her page. That should have been the red flag…
A few months went by and my MySpace page sat lonely, white and unused. Suddenly, another friend said it was a great way to get writing gigs and network in our lovely poker industry. And sure enough, as Charles of the Bodog Beat would say, I crawled back into the deep dark hole of MySpace. This was about the time I encouraged you to do the same for Pokerati, Dan.
It was great for a while…catching up with old friends, networking, chatting with the sexy ladies of poker such as Lacey Jones, Evelyn Ng, Karina Jett , Jennicide and Liz Lieu but time took it’s toll on my soul and soon I found myself thinking about Myspace while working, spending time with family and while I was grocery shopping which caused me to forget to buy eggs for my children. And when my mobile notified me of a comment or friend request I felt the urge to sign on right away. I was hooked, addicted, a Myspace junky and even worse…it’s free. I was like Tyrone Biggums looking for the free crack giveaway. I didn’t know who to turn to for help. My thoughts raced back to the night Evy told me how much better David Williams life was since he deleted his account. I had hit rock bottom with Myspace and I had to admit to myself for once and for all that I had developed a serious Myspace problem.
I’ve really said too much at this point but as SNL’s Jeanie Darcy would say…Don’t get me started.
Anyway, I have to go because I have a life to catch up on. I hope you have an awesome birthday and we’ll catch up when I get home.
Michele
