An amazing phenomenon has a new influence on our lives. This great invention has the power to make you want to see and talk to people that you have barely even thought about in years, even decades! It has the ability to make you advertise your personal information, your thoughts, even your email address, to an entire world of people you have never met. It can influence you to become friends with people you never knew, or never got to know. Yes, that's right, I am talking about FaceBook. This exciting new sensation has taken over our lives, and made our world a very very small place. I myself may be addicted!
Recently, I made contact with many people that I have not seen or spoken too in over 10 years. I have suddenly become in touch with people that have been lost and out of my life for so long, I was wondering if they had disappeared off the face of the earth! I have surprised, and been surprised by, people I once knew in what seemed like a past life. And it is great!
So, the next time someone sends you an email inviting you to join FaceBook, think about it longer than I did. Don't delete it right away. Don't toss it out thinking it is another Classmates.com, or Yahoo! chatroom. Don't miss out on your reunion.
Okay, your probably thinking "what's with this guy, is he getting paid for advertising or something?" Actually, I am quite pleased with some recent re-contacts with old friends. I am now "FaceBook friends" with a couple of guys that I have not talked to in over 10 years, and they were my best friends growing up. Scot, Rob, and I hung out a lot, with a few other guys. We played "war" on Fenn and Pierre's farm, rode motorcycles up to Cultus Lake and Harrison Lake in the summer time, went camping, and hung out at The Pantry for hours, talking about life, girls, cars, and God. So, I'm feeling a little nostalgic, if that's okay with you. And, if it's okay with you, I'm gonna listen to some Altar Boys, or Rez band now.
Rock on!
