MySpace- what was I thinking?

So many blogs, so little time.

I’m not here much, but I still try to read the blogs- I really love the blogs. Shallot’s blog was, and always is, so funny. She sounds like the voice I hear in my own head when I talk to myself. I really should learn to listen. I guess I’m a hack that has never had an original thought and an idiot who hears how something went badly but then does that same thing thinking it will work just right when she does it.

The back story is that I had a friend in high school that was very good to me, but that I wasn’t very good to in return. I’ve had this terrible guilt aver my behavior for eighteen years, but haven’t been able to make contact to apologize. I know I have a bit of a guilt complex and that if I didn’t carry this millstone it would be something else, but I’d like to put it behind me. Then I read shallot’s blog and got an idea.

I logged on to MySpace and couldn’t find my old friend, but I did find another mutual friend and sent a message that was incredibly dorky. I think I sounded like I was sixteen all over again. And since that wasn’t bad enough I sent a second message trying to explain the first one. I think I’m just done with MySpace. I really don’t need any new outlets for self humiliation.

Now here is an article just for Rich, I hope you enjoy it. And I didn’t know who Tom was either.

I’m down to just a hand full of small assignments and then it’s finals. Right now I have an A in every class and I really hope I can hold on the them. After this I’m not going to be so worried about my grades, really.

I also wanted to say that my girls were in the spring sing at school last night. Bailey has an amazing voice- and that really is objective because I’m a critical person. She is also more beautiful than every other girl in the Jr. High choir. Chaney was a cat and they really chose well. She was so stinking cute and she really hammed it up one side and down the other. She didn’t show her embarrassment one bit! Also, Chaney won third place at the regional science fair. That’s really hard to do. And Bailey is getting an award for a poem she wrote that was entered in a regional contest. I forget how awesome my kids are sometimes then I’m around regular kids and appreciate them a lot more. I have some amazing kids!

    MH: Thank you very much for that article. A copy of the referenced book was on sale last week at the Bookery but my file is big enough. Owner Tim and I discussed it however as he is reading it (which these days is rare for him) and he pointed out the book burnings alone have made 1950s comics very hard to find. As proof I spent an evening checking various DC titles from that period--and he's right. I can look you in the eye and honestly say I have seen a real Batman #1 (Winnepeg Canada country of the beloved Logos and Superman #5 (Emerado ND) but 1952 to about 1956 very slim. Wonder Woman for instance very difficult from about issue 40-90. In fact I've been trying for years to get the original 6 issues of the Phantom Stranger and have only got issue #2 (on layaway but a birthday is approaching and I have hopes of son Dan in that area. Lastly the Blackhawk referred to in the article is the character whose symbol I use as my avatar here. I have given up on MySpace also. Turns out my daughter-in-law's page is under her maiden name and the other person I was attempting to connect with is best left alone unless I want to bring grief and destruction back into my life. But I do so love to shoot the foot on a regular basis it seems. Thanks again.

    Yes, and congratulations on being a good mom, too. It's quite possible that there were children there who had no one in the audience.

    well, I went back to myspace and re-did my profile. Sent some more friend invites and now I am scared to go back. I figured I should just go ahead and make it worse. I will make it a "funny" thing and blame it all on the beer. Seriously though, I for one know that I am a much kinder, more understanding person than I was in high school so maybe just maybe so are other people.

    I think that I'll stay out of MySpace and Facebook, too for that matter. Anyhow, congratulations to you on your awesome marks, you should be very proud of all that you've set out to do this year! Yay! And as well, congratulations for your children's achievements. It is a special mom who takes part and encourages all that their kids get involved with -- I think that they are special kids, but more, they are especially lucky to have you as their mother. Cheers, Kizzo

    Oh Mom-H don't be so hard on yourself. Actually I went car shopping today and I actually met up with an old friend I hadn't seen in 24 years. He's the manager of the Toyota dealership. When the salesman took the parerwork back to the manager he recognized my name. We both used to work part time at a supermarket when we were in college. When the salesman came back and told me the manager knows me, I was shocked and then he mentioned his name and I knew exactly he was. We used to have a great time fooling around at the supermarket, poking fun at the cash register girls and drinking beer in the basement. Haha. I had always wondered wht happened to him. I wouldn't have been surprised if someone told me he met an early death. He was crazy, challenging people twice his size into fights and driving like a lunatic. Hahahaha. He looked just like he did 24 years ago, except maybe he put on a few pounds. Not much, just a few. But he really calmed down. He was so nice and shook my wife's hand. This was not the same guy I knew. The thing I remember, and he remembered too, was that he once challanged me into a hand wrestling match. I won and he wasn't sure, but he remembered when I told him. Hahaha. But he told me I looked old now. Hahaha, I know I got quite a bit of grey in my hair now. I love meeting old friends I haven't seen in years. That was great, and I actually thought of this MySpace thing. I wonder if I could find other old friends.
