Welcome to Facebook

So I got set up with facebook last night and life has been a whirlwind ever since. I realize that it hasn't even been 12 hours since I hooked up with facebook but life has changed so dramatically in the last 12 hours that I have decided to share some of the things I love so much about facebook...

(These are in order of my appreciation)

#1- Giving ex-girlfriends a way to contact you in front of the entire world. This one is awesome...especially if you happen to be in ministry.

#2- Being able to nose my way through the lives of any person from my past that I have spent years trying to forget about.

#3- Having greater access to my aunts, uncles, parents and grandparents as they all happen to be on facebook.

#4- The pictures...need I say more?

#5- Actually, I will say more about #4...I appreciate the fact that every person under the sun has the desire to take risque pictures but honestly people, get over yourself.

#6- The status placed on your # of facebook friendships...also considered narcissism.

#7- Those who feel they have a boring life can live vicariously through those that love their lives via viewing every picture, every comment, every status update.

#8- It makes people who haven't been in touch for 40 years feel in relevant again.

#9- It gives companies the opportunity to leverage every relationship I have with a friend by using me to advertise products I would never endorse.

#10- Lastly, facebook gives me the opportunity to post messages on the wall of Pastor Robert is My Homeboy that he will NEVER read.

If you are wondering why I most likely will be deactivating my facebook account in 13 days look no further than #1 and #2. See you on facebook!
