The Facebook Phenomenon

At first I refused to join because I didn’t want to frit away more hours than I already do on the internet. However now it’s personal, I am adamant I’m not going to join face book, not now, not ever. It’s not even because I don’t want to waste more time on the internet, it’s a matter of principal, I said I’m not going to join so I’m not. Quite a few people I know have been lost to the lure of face book, but not me, nope, no siree, I’m going to stay strong. You can read one man’s point of view here, which in a way inspired this post…..as did a conversation held in pizza hut…

What kind of name is face book anyway……it’s not a book, it’s an insult to books!!

Hahaha~ yeah~ well, i'm not addicted to facebook, so it's fine. I'm just grateful for it's existence because it found me my long lost childhood friend. That's the only reason why i kept using it, it's for that purpose only i like using it. I just think it's a good way to network people that's all. But go you and mishy for resisting joining! Keep up the good work!
And btw, what is happening on sunday?! why does mishy need her car?
