friendship is a

kraft.

Have you ever heard of friendster.com ? I was introduced to it years ago, ironically by someone who no longer considers me a friend (a long story for another post). This ex-friend (or "ster?") sang the prases of this oddly named site... All I could think was "friendster?" come on, you have to be kidding me. It sounds like something a PBS kids show would sing about, not something a semi-successful adult like myself (semi-sarcastically thought)) could find entertaining.
Anyway, in the midst of my insane life I revisted friendster the other day. I was amazed as I searched the pages... seriously, every guy I should have dated (good on paper, bad in person), would have dated (you know who you are, slow game) and did date but regret (we're all entitled to one)... has a page, complete with a picture, list of schools/ accomplishments and of course, their favorite books and movies. In fact, there were only two guys I could not find: one I assume, is obviously too cool and busy for such a silly site, and the other, though quite a attractive, most likley not smart enough to navigate the internet yet....
Anyway, if you're bored at school or at work, you should give this site a look, or at least a glance. It certainly wasted 2 hours of my day.
One thing that became clear as I parused the pages was that friendship is a kraft... I guess that's why jordankraft.com was so appealing to me. Jordankraft's collection is based on everyday people living legendary lives - in their own right. It's an experiment in creating icons rather than recycling them for those who have ever aspired, or thought about aspiring, to do something different. Look around. These people are your friends, your neighbors - these people are you.... your friendsters? Both sites are worth a look.
