"It is a Small Cyber World After All"

So, a girl in the department at work came into the office on a Monday morning awhile back telling us all she had been swept off her feet by the greatest guy ever. She met him at some bar in Philly. Everything was perfect, she even told us if he asked she would have moved to Florida for him. You see, the dude was in the Navy and had to ship out after a long weekend in Philly.

Anyway, the poor girl committed the sin of modern dating. She never goggled the guy! Her friend pointed this out to her Monday morning. A quick search came up with a site made by his proud dad. However, quite much to her surprise, the picture of him was of him and his lovely wife. A farther search revealed a MYSPACE account with pictures of his little baby boy.

Anyway, I will be honest with you. I had no idea what MYSPACE even was till earlier this summer. I heard people talk about it, and obsess about it. I guess I should have known more since my Ex had one, and talked about it all the time. Maybe, I should have been concerned about all the "Myspace" dudes that wanted to be her friend? But even still the whole trend didnt appeal to me. You see the point of it is for people to use the spot on the internet to the the whole world their life story or what they are up to, and who they know.

The goal for some people is, is simply to find more "myspace friends". You can approve or disapprove friends. This way you can have links to tons of strangers and post comments on whether or not people are hot or not. You also post strange pictures back and forth to one another.

I spent a whole night on there once, and found tons of people that I know on there. Not to mention people I haven't seen in years. It kind of felt strange by doing a search by my highschool. With a simple click of the button I could find out what all these people I don't talk to anymore are up to.

Most pictures of girls on there are of them with their lowest cut shirts on, or drunk or high some place. Some MYSPACE people put all kinds of information on there it makes you wonder if anyone can blame "Big Brother" for being the one showing the world their private information.

I really spend time looking at peoples MYSPACE pages, and I have to say I simply don't get it. Its so huge, and I just don't see the appeal. I guess lots of guys do it to try to get laid. I guess its nice since its free and easy, but I still don't see how it gripped an entire world's free time. I don't I guess I shouldn't talk since I have a webblog. Although it never lead me to pictures of girls dressed like sluts.

I seriously think the next election should be done on MYSPACE. Whoever gets the most myspace friends wins. At least if someone was sitting at their computer and they got a friend request from Hillary Clinton or Jeb Bush they would be more likely to ROCK THE VOTE in 2008 than having to go out and interact with actual humans.

I don't mean to upset anyone by this post who holds their MYSPACE page dear to their heart. I am usually way behind on hot trends anyway. I have to go now, I have to feed my Giga pet.

"The Return of Tucker's World"

Well I was down the shore for a week and had no internet during that time. So, that is why there was no updates. But rest assured both my readers Tucker's World is back! Let's see what happened since I last blog. Hmmm.. The whole World War III, got worse. The Phillies were in and out of the wild card race about half a dozen times. Rico retired. The new season of the sopranos was pushed off again. What else did we learn? Mel Gibson only hates Jewish people when he drinks. Everyone is excited about the upcoming movie Snakes on a Plane, which could be one of the biggest movies of the summer. Oh, yeah a bunch of terrorists almost blew up a bunch of planes, but the bleeding hearts are still pissed that the government wants to listen in on our phone conversations.

What, else what else, what else...oh yeah. I keep finding Spiders in my apartment. What is up with that? Okay, I know its summer and there is a lot of woods near where I live. But, even still it seems like every morning I kill a spider before most people have their first cup of coffee.

I mean it would not be such a big deal if it was the same kind of spider. Like, oh maybe Tucker just has a huge family of spiders living with him. But thats not the case, they are like all different kinds. Big ones, hair ones, green ones, long legged ones. I came home from work the other day and there was actually a camera man from the Discovery Channel was filming aspider in my bathroom.

He was saying excitingly into the camera.

"Wow I have never seen a this species before!"

Anyway both my readers, Tucker's World is back.
