I can't believe it, but I enjoy Facebook

I have avoided it like the plague.  Hearing ppl say things like [insert fake valley girl accent] "OMG, I so facebooked that yesterday! LOL" [/end fake valley girl accent]  I looked at it a while back and it seemed too infantile.  I guess based on the people that I knew who used it I thought it was more or less a dating site.  Well I guess I have to admit I was wrong.  I sort of have a disconnect with some of today's "young people" and I thought this was just another one of their things that I won't understand.

I signed up based on a recommendation from Jeff Hicks, who I visited on a recent trip to LR.  I have always liked and respected Jeff, and he has a way of explaining things that I enjoy.  Well we talked about it a bit and I wasn't completely sold, but at least willing to try.  I created an account on Wednesday, and added 2 friends.  At current count I have 39 "friends", including some who found me since I created my account based on either mutual friends or groups I'm in such as "I was one of Bro Dave's ATU Wesley Foundation Circuit Riders" or Arkansas Tech University Alumni.  Really pretty amazing.  I'm connecting with people from college and previous jobs that I haven't seen or heard from in years.  So I must say, "Facebook, you have my apologies for all the bad things I said about you. IMHO, LOL, AFK, BBS ...(trails off)"
