Dear Friends:
Yesterday as I checked my obnoxiously overloaded e-mail inbox, I received an email from "the Wallmaster" at Facebook.com. Now, I do have a facebook account, and I like to look up the occasional weird kid in class to see "what his deal is." I do not take it to the extent of most college kids here, though, which prompted the Lehigh student newspaper to write an article about the so-called Facebook addiction.
Imagine my surprise yesterday as I looked at this e-mail. I receive few of them, and it mostly happens whenever a friend "tags" me in a photo of our team or something and I have to approve it.
Wouldn't you know it? None other than Jaron Hawkins has a Facebook account! I find it so hard to believe that someone who refuses the services a cell phone can provide would stoop to a collegiate social networking site. I am aware that Mr. Hawkins regularly peruses the domain of MySpace.com, where no account is needed to see profiles. However, I am shocked that he would take the time to make his own account, put up a picture, list his educational information.
It blew my mind.
I don't think it is a bad thing. I just associate Facebook with 4' 6" overweight sorority girls wearing Ugg Boots and oversized sunglasses along with a 4-inch miniskirt in the middle of February. I mean, up here at least, they seem to go hand in hand. So when I saw my good pal and yours, Mr. Jaaaaay-Ron, had created an account, I could not help but laugh.
Well, that rant wasted extraordinary amounts of time. I need to go down to our lavish dining hall to have some greasy bacon. Time to fuel up for the last Tuesday of the semester.
Have fun with Facebook, Mr. Hawkins. Don't become addicted.
