MySpace to Host Presidential Primary

MySpace will host its own presidential primary on January 1-2, 2008. Advance polls will be conducted as well. If the number of friends is any indication of who will win, Barack Obama, by far, will crush the competition. He’s got over 90,000 friends. The next closest is John Edwards with 17,070. Separately, the thought of MySpace actually influencing a Presidential election is, well, odd to say the least. Or not. Depending upon how you view social media and its impact.

One could argue MySpace is just a collection of teens uploading risque photos of themselves for middle aged horny men to slather over. Conversely, one could argue that’s just a bad generalization and MySpace members are socially connected people and representative of society in general. If you ask us, we’d like nothing more than the convenience of voting for President from the comfort of home without having to deal with crowds and grumpy local officials.

I’m 73 and last Thursday my doctor asked who was driving me home and I said “I drove myself” and the look on his face told me that answer had an expiration date and the 40-minute drive home was the first time in my life I was afraid of something I’ve done ten thousand times because he didn’t take my keys but he took my certainty and that’s almost worse

I’m 65 and I found a box of photographs in the attic last month and I sat on the floor for three hours — not because I was looking at them but because I was looking at a world that doesn’t exist anymore, where my parents are young and my children are small and the kitchen table in the background is the center of a life that felt permanent and turned out to be temporary

I’m 73 and my daughter recently told me I look ‘frumpy’ now that I’ve stopped wearing makeup and heels every day — and instead of feeling hurt, I felt free, because her discomfort with my comfort told me everything I needed to know about whose approval I’d been performing for

I’m 66 and I’m still working, still paying a mortgage, still helping my kids, still driving my mother to her appointments, still pretending I have the energy I had at 45 — and the invisible decade I’m living through has no anthem, no self-help section, no supportive community, just a quiet expectation that I’ll keep holding the weight without mentioning what it’s doing to my knees, my marriage, and the version of myself that I keep promising I’ll get back to when things calm down, which they never do

Nobody talks about the women who raised entire families, kept every tradition alive, and held everyone together for forty years — and then got thanked by being called “strong” instead of being asked “are you okay” because those are two completely different sentences and only one of them requires anyone to actually do something

Research suggests the reason many men over 60 struggle to articulate emotional needs isn’t stubbornness or pride, it’s the total absence of practice — they were never asked what they needed as boys, never shown what asking looks like by their fathers, and never given a relationship where the asking wasn’t met with discomfort, redirection, or the subtle withdrawal of respect, and you can’t expect fluency in a language that was never spoken in the house where you learned to talk
