The Return Of Mechasmack

I really, really hate it when people say "Make time to do something." How the hell do you make time? No one can make time! Now I suppose one could interpret that as "Pick one of the dozen things you have to do each day and not do one of them, then you'll have made time for this one thing." Of course there's no mention of the thing you had to skip or postpone to make time for the other thing. If you're lucky you won't have to make time for it some other time, creating a never ending cycle of making time.

Now "making the most of your time" I can get with. I'd rather hear that than someone telling me to make time. These days it seems like everyone wants all of my time and if I could make time I certainly would but there's only so much time to do so much and I've had only one good night's sleep in the past month.

I'm not sure if I had a point. I'm tired. Leave me alone.

I am so done with MySpace! It is so freakin' slow and half the time it crashes. I honestly don't understand how it got to be the most popular web site on the planet when it's barely usable. Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's because I'm not using Internet Explorer or because I'm on a Mac. But it's a web site and neither of those should matter - it should just work better than it does. I only put up a MySpace page because people were bugging me about. I really didn't see the point since I have my own website. But I recognized its potential as a networking tool. And since I've been doing the DJ thing more often lately, it's probably a good promotional tool as well. But I can't stand using it. So I'm sorry MySpace - it's over. We can still be friends, but we can't hang out to often.

I got my latest issue of Maxim this week. I've been a loyal reader for years, but lately I'm just not satisfied with it. Don't worry, it's not a sign of maturity on my part or anything like that. The magazine has changed. It seems like it's about half the size it used to be. There's a new layout that I don't agree with. And it's just not enough substance anymore. I know what you're thinking, "You're asking for substance in Maxim?" Yeah, I am. Of course I like the girls. But I mostly bought it for the articles and music reviews and spots about cool gadgets and stuff. And it's just not enough anymore. So I'm letting go. Supposedly the next issue will be my last if I don't act now. Maybe I'll finally get a subscription to Newsweek.
