As you may or may not know, I spend a lot of time on MySpace....probably waaaaaay too much time for a man of my age.
But, in reality I don't spend a whole lot of time working on my personal profile: Kevin Mason MySpace. I actually spend my time working on behalf of artists, events, charities and businesses helping manage their profiles.
Part of that daily work is to leave comments on peoples pages...so every day I look at hundreds upon hundreds of people's top friends list, while doing my work. And the one thing that I see over and over again is that the majority of pages that I land on all have at least one scantily clad woman in their top friend's list.
Now, naturally you would think that it's usually young guys who would have MySpace pages that include these "hot chicks" in their top friends, but no....it's not only young guys, but young girls, and older men and older women too.... And these aren't just porn stars in their friends list, but actual friends.
I started feeling kinda left out....because I don't have one real friend in my list of 350 friends that has a scantily clad MySpace picture as their profile pic. Now yes, I realize that I could throw Tila Tequila or Jenna Jameson into my Top 20 and I'd be good to go, but that's not the point.
In fact of the 5 women I have in my personal MySpace Top 20, 2 of them don't even include a picture of themselves in their profile pic. So what am I doing wrong? Am I hanging out with the wrong people...or am I just a loser?! It feels like high school all over again.
Oh, by the way (shameless plug time) if your band, event, charity, or business could use help building awareness through MySpace, let me know. Social networking is one of the hottest new marketing categories and we can help you locate all kinds of people...including the scantily clad ones!

I've finally broken down and joined the blogging revolution. I've been fighting the urge for a very long time. In all honesty, I really don't know many people who would care to read my mindless ramblings once, let alone on a regular basis. But... I have actualy had a few friends ask me "if I blogged". Until this evening, I've always been able to answer an emphatic NO. But sadly (?) no longer....
You see, for 27 years I actually had a place that I could speak my mind...the radio...so there was no need to express myself "publicly" through a blog. Now granted that specific location actually changed on a somewhat frequent basis....Radford, Roanoke, Tidewater, Charlotte, Huntsville, Bloomington, Indy, Akron.....but I did have a place to express myself. In October 2006, I called it a day, and hung up my headphones.
Since then life has been.......... in flux. I left radio to take a job in the music industry. My dream job lasted just 4 months, as the record company I went to run lost both of it's backers and shut its' doors for good. Fast forward (or not so fast forward) six months, and now I split my time between Ohio and Tennessee, putting a ton of miles on my car.
The trip between Nashville and Northeast Ohio is 500 miles one way, and takes about 7 1/2 hours to drive. I've made the trip so many times, that I think my car could drive itself. My wife, of course, has suggested that I not try to find out.
As I make the drive back and forth every week, I have a lot of time alone....to think. Now those who actually know me already accuse me of thinking too much to begin with, but give me nearly 8 hours in the car by myself, and the topics that come to mind are sometimes quite bizarre.
Now.....since I no longer have the radio as a place to regularly speak my mind, I feel the need to express myself in some fashion.....hence, the blog....or Blog-O-Rama as the title states. I really don't know where the title came from, I think it was somwhere between Lousville and Cincinnati.... or was it between Cincinnati and Columbus?! I know, it doesn't really matter...but, that is the point of all this..... I couldn't write the blog until I had the title. Sadly, I've had the title for months.... I just didn't know where to start......
