My dilemmas...

When you have a thought, how do you know what to do with it?

You know that you want to share it with the world, but what website do you use?

There's so many different options. Facebook, twitter, blogs... I just don't know which to use for what thoughts anymore.

I don't feel like using the facebook status updates, because it's so hard to contain all my feelings into one little place, and all my friends have facebook and I don't want ALL of them knowing what I'm feeling.

Twitter is okay, but you only get 160 (?) characters, and I don't really have any friends using it anyway, so no one would see what I wrote.

Blogging has been my favorite option so far, since there really isn't a space limit, but I don't want to share TOO much personal stuff, just in case the wrong person gets the link to here.

Hmmmm.....

Project: Memory

I've started something new. I'm not going to tell ANYONE what it's about though. The only thing you will know is that it is called "Project: Memory," and that it is going to be really cool, on so many different levels. But no one can know any details about it, for my own creative and artistic reasons. When it's done, you will know.

Get out of my mind, Facebook!!

Facebook used to be "a place for friends", now it's a place for sharing random shit.

Wait, hold on...

No, Myspace is the one that's "a place for friends," not Facebook.

FB hasn't changed my account to the new version yet, but from what I've heard from other people, it doesn't seem like a good idea. Here's a fun article about it that I found:

I think I'm going back to Myspace. THEY haven't changed their design or format in a really long time, maybe only ONE major change since I first joined, but right now it seems that Myspace is a lot simpler than Facebook right now.

Everyone was so upset over the last major FB change, it's just ridiculous that they want to keep trying new things! Why not keep it one way for a while, so that people can understand how to use it? It's nice that they want to experiment with new interfaces and whatnot, but I think that even the current version has a few problems with scripting. (Like, sometimes around midnight when you post something, on your feed it will say that it was posted "tomorrow")

I don't know, I just thought that Facebook's orginal plan was to make it easier for us to connect with our friends. Now it looks like they just want to copy things from other sites, like Twitter, and make a weird social hybrid machine.

Yeah, I think I'm going back to Myspace.

Who's with me?

Howdy Ya'all

I had the BEST time in Texas! Thank you everyone for asking, by the way.

So, it was kind of a shock being in nice weather for once. Coming from Chicago, I can't say I was disappointed by the 60-70 degree weather. Ahhhhhhhh... I want to go back so much! WHY on earth did I decide to go to school in Chicago? Oh right, my school has an excellent fine arts program...

The windy city needs to get that whole windy thing checked out. Maybe I can somehow convince my parents that I need to take a year off, or something. It would be nice to just get away from all the stress, spend some time with Chris, and maybe make some cool artwork while I'm there. That would be M-A-zing.

But that would never happen, my parents are forcing me to spend the next 3 years freezing my ass off and working until I die... I'm gonna try talking to them about it, but I know that they just want me to get through college as fast as possible, since it costs so much.
