My status message today when Rick disappeared:
Rick is gone poof! Somehow I'm not buying it though-should we be looking for a book about MySpace? or am I just a conspiracy theorist?
Rick's last blog, just in case you missed it:
So-If I hadn't been out on MySpace this morning taking a break from tedious loan files, I might have missed the departure of Rick, everyone's favorite banana. As you can read from the above, he decided to get a full time job and is starting after Labor Day, so he wrote his last blog (after deleting all previous blogs) and less than an hour later-he was gone-deleted and up in smoke.
Now I don't know about you, but I work a full time job, but still have time to blog and read blogs on Myspace. I have a friend who was very active over the spring blogging and commenting, but when he got a new job that he knew would require long hours, he let us know that he wouldn't be around very much. Even though he is not very active, he still has his page and changes his status so we know he is alive and well. (I'm still waiting for some puppy pictures, though!)
My point being, it is possible to have a real life and still be out here on Myspace. There are varying degrees of participation, and some people are more active than others, but after all, this is ourspace to use as we wish, right?
Maybe I'm reading too much into Rick's hasty exit from the Space, but the whole thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Not that it really matters, because he was very entertaining when he was here and we all enjoyed his funny blogs. He was very stingy with information, which is fine too, you tell me whatever you want to- but I'm now calling everything he ever said and did into question.
Remember Salis Baj? That cute redhead that appeared during the last round of dust-ups between Bad Lisa and what's-his-name and their assorted minions, and very cryptically announced that she/he/it was a grad student working on a paper and would everyone help her? Whatever happened to she/he/it? Maybe the same place as "Rick"?
Okay so here's the theory-we've all been rats in a scientific experiment! Who was "Rick"? Was he really a comic from NY who went through some bad times and now trying to come back? Did he live in NY in an apartment with one window with threesomes going on outside the window (that was some funny shit though!) Will we see ourselves in a book (or a sociology paper LOL) about Myspace? I just hope he changes the names to protect the innocent and the guilty LOL (thanks Karen)
Now I know this is full of passive voice and grammatical errors, but I've been thinking about this shit all day and just have to get it out.
What do you think? Am I a paranoid maniac or is there something not quite right?
Ice cream cone, banana, gone! Now Rick, if you're reading this, I still thank you for all the entertainment and enlightment you provided me and wish you all the best-but WTF?
