Today he explores the MySpace phenom and suggests that maybe we aren’t looking for hundreds of friends and people to connect to: “Maybe all the kids on MySpace aren’t looking for more friends … Maybe they are just looking for one” (emphasis his). I agree if he were to mean I’m looking for “the one”. As in, the one that brings the best out of me. The one who best compliments me, understands my values, helps me succeed, helps me when I need it most (etcetera). I have a lot of jobs because I’m looking for “the one” and I won’t find it without looking around. The same applies here. I have a large network of friends.

I also decided that the more balls I juggle, the more I’ll tend drop. When I become very busy (as mentioned previously) I get burnt out. In fact, we all do. I’m sure Noah can agree, he’s been the busiest guy I know. That’s okay though, he and I managed to record two podcasts this week!
