So long, Myspace...

After several spam messages from women claiming they wanted to "hook-up" if I would give them my credit card number, I decided to cancel my account with the horrible excuse of a website. When I finally had caved in and decided to join the site founded by a notorious spammer (Yes, it's Tom Anderson... any Myspacer's first friend) , I had believed the site's potential as a social networking system would outweigh its horrible CSS-manipulating flaws, numerous security glitches, and financial tamperings.

Needless to say, I was clearly mistaken.

As if the numerous messages sent to my PRIVATE (or, should I say NOT-SO-PRIVATE) profile) were not enough, the "browser-crashing impossible to read video and music intensive and disgustingly poorly programmed" spaces have been the main reason I avoid any site with "myspace.com" within the URL.

So, a farewell to Myspace, though not as fond as I wish it could be... more annoyed than anything. However, from the rubble of a lost Myspace profile, let it be known that I do want to remain networked to my friends. I urge you all to join Facebook, a secure and stable creation of a Harvard programming genius... not a spam artist.

Peace in.

Love,
David Filkins

No indie films? WTF? Those are the BEST! Oh, well. I don't have a life, apparently. As if I really needed a checklist of crappy films to tell me that. =P I take that back... there are about ten decent films in the list - maybe even twenty.

So, in recent news... I GRADUATE ON SATURDAY! HOORAY! =D And I might get a full time position at Pine Rest. Still waiting on that one. The benefits would definitely be a nice plus.

But, in the most recent news, David is procrastinating on his take home exam by spending his fleeting spare time on foolish online activities. He is reconsidering his previous course of action and deciding to redirect his efforts toward something more appropriate.

Take care. And stop wasting your time reading this and go STUDY! =D

(If you happen to be in the most fortunate of circumstances in which you have yourself with no studying to do and a plentiful amount of time upon your hands, may I suggest that you perhaps do some research on the intriguing topic of conflict diamonds and go see the amazing new film "Blood Diamond.")

Love,
David
