2 friends recently invited me as a friend to their Facebook whatever. But when i click the link, I have to login. When I register, it says I'm already registered and won't let me proceed. Now that I think of it there are about 10 people who've done the same thing. I know maybe half of them.
But I'm not sure what they want or why Facebook doesn't let me in. And Twitter? What the hell is that? I can see what celebrities are texting each other. Why? So I'm slipping farther and farther or as we say in English class further and further behind. And the Kindle DX for $500 will allow me to read books in bed. I read books in bed now and will keep the $500 and buy a new laptop. Why doesn't Amazon.com just send digital books to my computer, by the way?

I realize I'm starting to sound like Andy Rooney.

Anyway, I remember friend Isabella getting me into Facebook, showing me the signs, and Facebook wanting to know what music I enjoy and my favorite things, like I was a Playmate or something. I had no friends, it said, and the almost para-normal clarity of that perception stopped me right there. It could add, I'm not much of a lover and my parenting skills suck as well. So now there's CreateSpace and SomeOtherShit and i may never actually catch up.

As a young drug-befuddled philosophy student, I remember our favorite song was Rocket Man:

And all this science, I don't understand
It's just my job, 5 days a week.
Rocket Man, oh Rocket Man
I'm a Rocket Man

I can fix computers and set up a wireless network though. I know what kertwanger means. And for those who wonder why this is a two part post, I had to take Aliyah to school.
