Well, it happened. I succumed to lure of the socially connected and joined facebook. Now I enjoy checking the status of all my friends from my phone! How cool is that? Actually, I finally joined to find out the status of my very dear friends in Iowa who live in the flood zone…54212 to be exact. Now that I am a member, I have gotten in touch with people who I haven’t contacted in 20 years. What I’ve noticed is that its really fun but after about two or three posts, there isn’t too much to say because we’ve not been in relationship for so long. Sigh.
What I’ve enjoyed doing it taking time to read people’s interests and check out their photos. I’ve learned some new things and tried out some new artists that are faves of other people. I like reading the quotes of others as well. I think it says a lot about people.
Drawbacks…the whole obligatory send-this-application-to-your-friends thing. That’s annoying. I no longer care so much about how many square feet of the rainforest I’ve saved by adding their flower to my garden. And I could do without seeing random shots of cleavage on the left side nearly everytime I go to facebook. Its also a little disconcerting to see the profanity that people use when posting on other

people’s wall.
On a final note…its truly pitiful to admit that I haven’t blogged in nearly a year. I am going to change that. Also, I think it just another example of how I overextended myself last year and wasn’t able to do anything very well. It brings me to my final thought. When I was in college I learned a quote that has stuck with me. I forget the author’s name, so if you know it, feel free and remind me. Here it is: “Total commitment to every cause is euivalent to total apathy.”
