thing about this whole myspace.com thing is that the four "friends" I have befriended on this site actually send me more messages and comments than my real friends or family (I'm not mad at that because we are all busy adults right? And not to say that my "other friends" are not busy). I normally get friend requests just about every day and just everyday I find myself clicking "deny".

Now, you have an idea about my relationship with myspace.com. I suppose some background detail about me would help too. I am a twenty something African American female. I like sports; I've attended different sports events, as well I enjoy watching them on TV.

The messages went back and forth we talked about movies, the new fall TV season and other things. Then he said he had to go and he enjoyed "chatting" with me (even though we were not in a chat room) in his final message he left his name and phone number, to give him a call. I didn't want to seem too eager or desperate to call so soon.

I decided to call him after 9pm. When he picked up the phone I had to admit that I was smitten by the sound of his voice. There's something with a mature sounding male with a deep voice.
