I actually do have a myspace account, and checking it along with livejournal has become a daily ritual/addiction. The sad thing is that outside of work these websites are my main sources of social interaction. I feel like I live on a deserted island, but I've been given this internet connection to send and receive messages to and from the outside world. Sometimes I wonder if my life would be better off without the internet. Perhaps I would muster the strength and courage to build a raft and seek physical contact with other people. On the other hand, without this portal to distant friends, I quickly suffer withdrawal pains in the form of isolation and loneliness. Logging-in is a way of fooling myself into believing that I'm not completely alone. Somebody out there might actually be reading this and care. Maybe someone will rescue me someday if only I keep throwing messages out into the Web. Who knows? Here's another.
