Your days of being socially relevant are soon coming to an end. I've been a faithful member since the 20th of February of 2006, and have seen the spoiled child that you've become over the past couple years. And what better way to end my cyber citizenship there than on my 4 year anniversary. I will admit, I did enjoy the golden years of Myspace, before the corporate takeover. One of the features that I wish you could of kept to distinguish yourself, was the limitation of only 8 pictures. Although not very practical, I enjoyed the diversity in other people's pictures. People actually cared enough to give feedback, and then there was the grueling task of deciding which picture was fated to be replaced by a newer, more updated one. When I think back to the person I was back then, four years ago, I am proud to notice the very great distinction. I have MySpace to thank for, through Sajan, being able to meet Hayley Holmes, and later on go on the "Oklahoma Trip", a couple years later.
My reasons for ditching Myspace are many, and varied, namely a combination of way too many advertisements, and lack of honest use. It's like the only thing people do now is "Check their Myspace", with no real contribution to the social experience. Sure little things like status updates, and what-not brought a renewed spark and interest into the site, but even that fad faded.
With the exception of a few of my friends who haven't made the transition to Facebook, or Twitter, I probably won't miss many of my "friends" on MySpace. To be honest, now more than ever, there are plenty of social internet tools, and other ways to reach me, and get a hold of me.
For the next couple days until the 20th of February, I will be looking back through all my old comments, and reading my old messages, and get my last bit of nostalgia before leaving for good. What I've also done, was made available ALL of my pictures. When a season would pass, I would hide the album, and make it viewable only to thine self, but now its out there, for anyone who wants to see it.
A handy guide for the modern gentleman
Many apologies if this post seems more trivial than anything. I have a couple of those. It's just that I've had this fear of deleting my MySpace profile for a while, and I'm sure that when I finally follow through, it will be a huge burden off my shoulders, and my conscious. I can move on to more constructive, and enjoyable things to do with my time. Although I will admit, Facebook is the same poison, just in a classier shell, and environment. My hopes are that Facebook doesn't go the way of Myspace, and follow the same path, and eventual fate as MySpace. It's getting late, and I have some sleeping I need to get done.
Thank you MySpace for the good times, but your purpose has been carried out, and it's time to move on.
Much Love, Luis.
Gosh I remember these days. They didn't work out to well.

The vast majority of marriages, relationships, and partnerships are based upon need, not love, which explains why they are so chaotic.
Today, give of yourself and share without any thought of what you are receiving. It's not about how the other person makes you feel; rather, it's about how you make the other person feel.
