It really is a full time job nowadays to post to all the various social networking sites, blogs, twitters (wtf iz teh pt of twttr, dood?), websites, email newsletters… just to say one thing. I feel like I’ve been talking in circles all night, except instead of talking I’ve just been typing and browsing for files and entering dates into form fields. And no one even nodded at me politely. And I’m still not done!

I uploaded three new songs to the Kiki myspace page, and looked into creating one with Facebook after seeing my friend Amanda’s new Facebook Music page. I was worn out before I could even start putting new dates on the official Kiki page. Which might be pointless, anyway, to have. It doesn’t have enough emoticons and ads for dating services on it, for my taste.

I’m not complaining too much. I’ve always been a proponent of using the internet to reach strangers and familiars alike; the rock band did it long before the word for it was “blogging”. Back then not many people were reading because they didn’t have the internet, but it was still cool to express yourself online, and now not many people are reading because there is too much internet, and it is expected of every Man, Woman, and Child to express themselves online. Probably Dog, too. I’m not even going to look, but I bet there is a Dogster.

If I was a genius I would invent one site that ruled them all, that automatically posted all the songs, dates, information, to whatever the hip-sites of the moment are at the same time. People have been trying, but I haven’t found one yet that actually made the process easier. It’s a logistical nightmare and how could you predict what was coming ’round the bend, web-wise? Today, Facebook seems to be edging out Myspace. Tomorrow, it’ll be something else. I can’t wait to find out! I could come up with a hip web 2.0 name for it: “Sploinxt’r”! “Broseefussez”!

or “Kurmujiin”!

I just got a notice about Bush’s super-duper pathetic attempt to bribe the American people into thinking that he might have been an OK President after all… the Economic Stimulus Act. I know that it’s really just an incentive to have us all spend money and therefore build up the economy, but really. I mean, really. Think about it. Ridiculous.

In fact, I can’t even come up with an interesting diatribe about it. Ironically, it’s a rare and strange day that I would ever contest the option of receiving a check for $600 in the mail. But there has to be a better way. Does anyone have an idea for what to do with this check that would actually do some good, besides support a war that shouldn’t be happening? Because as broke as I am, this money feels kind of dirty, and I want to do something wicked with it.

Wicked as in “wicked awesome”.

Terrifying.
