Myspace sucks!!!!

Umm… the craziness continues. So yesterday I logged onto myspace after a hiatus of about 4 or 5 days. By the way, “hiatus” has got to be one of the coolest words out there because it makes you sound smart and it is easy to remember. As approved all my new wonderful friends I came across a picture of a girl that looks a lot like my sister. I decided to stop the scrolling and look at the picture and found that this girl not only looked like my sister… she had the same name as my sister. CRAZY HUH? (Picture some sarcasm in my voice in the next few lines) I know my sister would not have a profile because my mom has said no and she is only 13 years old. I still wanted to make sure so I clicked on the profile just to double check… low and behold this girl was from San Diego too… just like my sister. Fortunately I finally had found something that would distinguish the two. This girl was 14 years old. Phew!!! I was relieved. NOT!!! It was my little sister in the typical myspace pictures that all girls take with friends and post on myspace to get attention from boys. Did I feel uneasy about it? Oh yeah! But you know what? I was her age once and I know what it feels like to be told “no” by your parents. I too would go and do things behind their back… it is part of being a teen… well, in my instance I wanted to be an international spy so I needed to learn how to get away with things, and I had to learn how to do a flip and drive fast but I never quite got to that point… yet. Plus there is no way you can go through life without seeing at least one vein protrude out of your parents forehead and or neck, I preferred the forehead.

I then started to do what any older brother would do if their 13 year old sister got a myspace: I started looking around. There were a few things I found to be a bit out of the ordinary: 1. no way to see her comments 2. She apparently has a boyfriend 3. No top friends list and 4. I don’t like her boyfriend. I did manage to find some comments on her pictures though and this is when J-Zizzle’s head hit the ceiling. This lil punk who is dating my sis is 15 years old and in high school. When I was in high school I looked at middle school girls as little kids, why? Because I was too cool for school that’s why. Haha. This kid has also left some pretty disgusting comments on my sisters page. I naturally wanted to write him a little message but if I did my sisters life would in her words be “ruined forever”. I wish I could tell you what he wrote but it makes me want to punch the computer screen… and I am at work so I would have to pay Kidd for the computer and the Rock Band game I am borrowing for life. Then there were some other boy comments such as, “you are so hott” (you gotta write it with two t’s because that’s how you get into a committed relationship with a woman) and old school favorites like, “I can almost see down your shirt,” and don’t forget the all-time favorite, “I don’t know u, but damn girl you is hot” (he didn’t use two t’s because he doesn’t want a commitment). I have never felt the symptoms of a heart attack, but after reading those comments I wanted to whoop some high school butt.

So I did call my sister yesterday and told her it’s all good. Maybe I am being a bit overprotective but to her everything seemed like it was just for fun and jokes. To me it was the realization that my sister is growing up and will eventually kiss a boy… when she is around 25 years old… and she will eventually fall in love and get married… when she is 46 years old… and eventually have babies… long after I am dead.

Moral of the story: when you lock your sister in the closet when she is 4 for some laughs… never open it up… ever. But do give her food and water, that would be good, and maybe a book or something… and a TV, but no myspace.

WORD!!!!!
