Craven capitulation

I created a Facebook profile. I hate social networking sites. I'm ashamed. It was peer pressure. It was the sense that the bandwagon was about to jump the shark and I felt I should at least try to be along for the ride. I will probably deactivate my account again and sooner or later none of my online friends (who are also my real life friends) will want to be online friends with me anymore (but they will still be my real life friends). I know that it makes people feel good to have the sense of connection with people with whom they have no real connection. I have a real connection to some of the people I'm going to have a fake connection with on Facebook. This is so dumb. But it's the modern way.
