My New Virtual Home

For my one reader, thank you Joe, I've moved to a new location. I wasn't so tired of all the porn spam on Myspace as I was my mother complaining that she had to sign up for Myspace to read my blog. Then I started thinking about my mother, the church lady, and the porn spam and the long suppressed Catholic guilt kicked in....

Ok, so technically I have one reader and one would be reader. So I guess this makes my official count two. Yes, I realize that I can hardly call my 10 entry mess a blog but everyone has to start somewhere.

I got an email the other day from my friend Trish and she has officially boycotted all social networking sites. I applaud her effort since I practically went blind for the first week I was on Myspace with all the snooping I did. Her email got me thinking because she made the very astute observation that the tides were turning towards Facebook. First it was Friendster, then Myspace, now Facebook and let us not forget the uber snobby asmallworld.net. Then there's the work related sites like LinkedIn and Plaxo. It's enough to make a person nutty. Since I dislike Facebook more than I hate Myspace I decided it was time to move to neutral territory. I had been sneaking peeks occasionally at my friend Kajal's blog (http://www.shamuthegoldfish.blogspot.com/ which is hysterically funny btw) when I decided that blogspot seemed like as good a place as any. Plus I'm a big fan of Google taking over the world so I look at this as me doing my part to support the machine. So here we are.

I sincerely hope for the sake of my two readers that I don't disappoint. We're leaving for two destination weddings over the next few months, which of course includes vacationing with my disorganized husband and visiting my in-laws, so I would put money on at least a few humorous stories there.
