Over the past couple of days I've spent a lot of time on social networking sites (LinkedIn and Facebook in particular) both for work and my own personal curiosity. I've always kind of shied away from them in the past because I felt, well … old. I just didn't want to be the guy trying desperately hard to be hip. You know the one, the 30+ year-old guy decked out in Abercrombie & Fitch who spends all weekend at the mall, alternating between the food court and Spencer's. Your modern-day Peter Pan with blonde highlights.
Anyway, I have to say, loser or not, I'm kind of hooked. Just today I got back in touch with a guy I used to play in a band with back in high school. Somehow I came up on some list he was looking at and—poof— just like that we're talking online. It really is incredible how small the Internet has made the world. Now I just hope that I won't get kicked off of American Idol because of a couple of questionable shots of me and a wax figurine of Al Roker at Madame Tussaud's make their way onto someone's MySpace page.
