“And let’s be honest, during our day-to-day lives, we’re fucking busy. And we run around like chickens with our heads cut off sometimes; I do, always rushing from one job to the next. And it’s nice to have a place where I can stop and see if anyone is interested in me, is concerned about me, likes me, thinks I’m cute. Myspace gives me that place. I can interact with people, flirt with people, maybe even meet someone terrific on Myspace – because I’m “there” 24/7. Just stop by and see me. I’m always “there”. 24 hours a day, my pictures and my blogs and my blurbs and a little bit of my personality is right there for you to see. And if you like it, if you like what you see, stop by and say ‘hello’. I don’t mind a bit. Like that ab shot? It’s on there for one reason – because you might like it. Hell, I do.”
