YourSpace, not MySpace

For years I've resisted opening a MySpace account. I don't know exactly why, but I'm sure it's along the same lines as why I don't keep my Facebook profile updated and leave it untouched for many months, if not several years on end. Perhaps it's because I don't want to bother letting everyone else know what's going on at every second of my life, or perhaps I don't like the feeling of being virtually "tied down" to something I have to keep semi-updated (exhibit A, this blog...). And a lot of it has to do with the spam and other crap you get sent. I know, you can turn off a lot of the messaging features, but stuff still slips through.

So, for now, I guess it's just email, cellphone, this semi-regularly updated blog, and the occasional online forum that I'm a member of. That's about as much of a virtual footprint as I want.

People that want to get to get a hold of me know how to. Email, text messaging, and even a phone call are not too old-fashioned for me.
