300 Shots To The Dome
MySpace has upgraded their photo capacity thanks to a commercial tie-in, and now you can upload 300 pictures.
Quick question, if you've got 300 pictures of yourself just laying around, why don't you just go ahead and admit you're just a little bit self-centered?
I worked in TV for years, and even those people don't have 300 pictures of themselves. Jenna Jameson doesn't have 300 pictures of herself.
Julie Tam might, though.
Anyway, I really like MySpace. Now, when people from high school find me, the brief moment of stilted conversation dies out quickly. With email and personal messages, I don't have to pretend I left my child in the car to make a quick getaway when the conversation hits that mind-dulling lull.
I do like to have some fun with those moments of polite remembrance, and turn them quickly into uncomfortable situations.
Them: "Hey, do you ever see Brad from homeroom anymore? Whatever happened to him?"
Me: "Oh, you don't know? Brad joined the military, and was court-martialed for giving a handjob to an Iraqi insurgent. I'm dating his mom."
Them: "Oh."
Keeps me from having to turn down all those reunion invitations, at least.
I feel like MySpace is just the modern-day equivalent of hitchhiking. It was cool for a while, but eventually the molesters took it over and it got too dangerous.

Are you still trying to convince me that ALL of those hot chicks on your myspace are former classmates, Kerr? Haha
And I agree, I *ahem* don't know what kind of vain person would have 300 pics of themselves. Shameless!
Very funny blog, Reid. Thanks for the laugh. Oh, love the new headlines, btw.
I hate MySpace. It's a crap-ass design and a total time-suck. I stay the hell away.
Reid Kerr! You are such a bad boy. Somebody needs to give you a spanking.
As one of your former classmates I'm feeling a bit distressed. If other people can remember names to ask you about what is wrong with me? It's all a blur. Maybe my mind is protecting me from something????
Julie Tam probably *does* have 300 photos of herself lying around. Having met Julie Tam, that wouldn't surprise me one bit.
Like you use MySpace *just* to keep up with old classmates. Shyeah!
