Andy, Welcome to Facebook!

In the world today everything revolves around social networking. If you are not on the dreaded MySpace then you are a Facebook addict, tweeting on Twitter, or posting and reading blogs. It seems as if people can’t go one day without catching up with who’s doing what on your favorite social networking site. I am no exception to this latest rage…or I guess I wouldn’t call it the latest thing since social networking has been around for a while, but it’s the latest because it’s in the news and people of all ages and backgrounds are now participating. It’s not just for teenagers anymore. I have not attempted Twitter…not yet anyway, but as you know I have been blogging since last summer and I love posting blogs and letting my family and friends know our latest updates on our life. I especially love writing about the animals crazy antics. I have also been on Facebook for the last year and a half and can we say ADDICT? I am definitely an addict. I cannot go one day without checking my Facebook account to see what everyone is up to. It’s a good thing I can log into my account on my phone that way I won’t miss a thing. I see why Facebook is so addicting and it’s because we live in a world today where everything is based on reality. The majority of the television shows are a form of reality TV now. Everyone is nosey and everyone wants to know who’s doing what, when and why. As long as your friends update their Facebook pages, then you can definitely keep tabs on your friends this way. Plus it saves me a phone call or email when I can just check a friend’s page to see what they have been doing for the past few days. Now that I ranted on about Facebook I will say that after a year and a half I finally got Andy to sign up for an account. Forever he has been saying how lame and dumb it is; however, he would always (on a daily basis) ask me to log into my account to see what his friends are up to. I would tell him to create an account and he would always say that Facebook is stupid. Well, I am happy to say that Andy has finally conformed to the rest of the social networking addicts and joined Facebook. Congrats Andy for leaping into the 21st century!
