On the topic of old farts on facebook...the creepiest thing is to get a friend request from a 60+ partner at your firm. And they're using the pic from the firm intranet. Sorry, but there is no fucking way I want a partner reading my comments, the stupid ass groups I've created or to see in that little box that he's on the thing ready for to IM. Ew.

I'd blame it on tennis elbow, but I don't want to kill any of the street cred those cats built up digging Kiss.

i bet you think dazed and confused was satire.

Apparently when she defriended him, he noticed (sounds like the type to have been scouring her page fairly regularly but not actually calling her) and sent her some creepy e-mail asking why she didn't want to be his friend. If nothing else, this makes a strong case for not friending casual dates. I'm glad not to be casually dating in the age of My Space and Facebook.

As to who uses it, it may be because I've moved around so much, but there are people who I lost touch with from high school, college, Dallas, family members (I haven't done a great job of keeping in touch with my dad's family in the 20 years since his death), etc., along with all the local friends who tend to use it. But by far the most active group of people -- people who actually plan most of their outings on facebook -- are people from my graphic design classes. I have no problem with accepting friend requests from people I didn't know that well in high school (the only friend requests that have been of the "who is that again" variety so far have been people from my high school). I don't care if they know what is going on with me and it isn't like I really interact with them other than occasionally seeing their status updates scroll by.

It has been far better for me than My Space ever was, though I'm still there too mainly for a couple of people who are there but not on the Facebook bandwagon yet. And for some bands that I follow.

Some people fear the internet connections thing and some don't. I guess I'm squarely in the camp that doesn't. Probably because e-mail is by far a preferable means of keeping in touch over talking on the phone for me.

Have you seen the David Gilmour "Live in Gdansk" video? It's a great show. I can't say there was anything spectacular, but the sound was great, the song selection conservative but well chosen and the guitar, well, there were numerous moments recalling that peak in "The Fletcher Memorial Home." I'd also forgotten how well he translates to acoustic guitar. Knowing little of the mechanics of playing of music, I'll probably never figure out how somebody can make a note last so long without aid of electricity.

If somebody knows, don't tell me. I'd rather think he knows something most guitarists don't.

You should watch it. It's available on cable on demand in this part of the country. It's also on Itunes.

I have never spanked a person (even in my frat days), but as to most of the rest of it, No... No satire there.

Well, perhaps a satiric lifestyle. But isn't that everyone's?

i just meant being on a kiss album could get one laid at one point in time, like in that school.

Cool, although mine would have been more "in your face, Bill Maher "Religulous"-like.

Male.

I never hazed a person, either. I mean, I made people drink a lot, but torturing pledges physically was always sort of a toolish thing, IMO.

Is that movie any good? I want to see it, but then I worry it will be preachy and annoying. Maher is funny and I agree with him a lot, but when he gets on his high horse he's as annoying as the stridently religious.

Really? Is there sex or money involved, because I have been really hestitant to pick up another online communitary but I am now officialy wourried that I am missing something.

I suppose I could de-list myself from Obama's textmessaging updates which would free up 8-11 minutes a day....

Dear B'nB,

Perhaps not tonight, but I am convinced that the Rays will do to the Phillies what the Bucs did to the Eagles (repeatedly) and the Lightning did to the Flyers.

Why? God hates the gays and therefore Philidelphia. City of Brotherly Love, indeed.

Love,

Bruce
