How to import Mac OS X Address Book into MySpace

I hate MySpace:

  1. Run A to G
  2. Import resulting CSV document into GMail Contacts
  3. Import GMail into MySpace

Old instructions:

  1. Get Hailstone Software’s Address Book To CSV script
  2. Modify script so it only exports First Name, Last Name, and Email Address
  3. Run modified script
  4. Add ‘First Name, Last Name’ Email address’ to first line of resulting document
  5. Make document plain text
  6. Save document with extension .csv
  7. Import CSV document into GMail Contacts
  8. Import GMail into MySpace

Did I mention I hate MySpace?

The one thing I really want

How is it that I can have everything that I need and want, but the one thing I really want the most, I can’t have?

Fame, fortune, none of that matters. What truly matters to me is something else. Something that can not be described in titles or dollars. Something immeasurable and indescribable. Yet that one thing evades and avoids me. Why is that?

Back to School

I’ve gone through my first week of this quarter at school. I’m currently taking Elementary Accounting, Advanced English Writing, Statistics, and Macroeconomics, for a total of 18 quarter-units. Add that to a 30-hour work week and a 15-hour total weekly commute (public transportation’s little secret), and you can tell I’ve got it coming to me that I’d end up with sleep deprivation and a shattered imune system. As of this writing my voice is still shot, and anything louder than a whisper fails to function.

Something’s ‘gotta give:

  • Lighten my academic workload (drop a class or three)
  • Lighten my career workload (lower my hours)
  • Get a car (eliminate public transportation)

The first one would delay my estimated graduation out yet another semester, and the latter two would in essense cause my financial demise. Unless I am able to obtain external financial support, my only choice will have to be the ligtening of my academic workload and forego the aformentioned aspect of my academic goals.

But I must do something about this, and soon; for the sake of my health and well being.
