I have a complex......

I have a complex...about online social networking that is. Almost everyone and their mothers (literally) has a Facebook or a Myspace. And through much complaining and verbal torture from my friends, I still have opted not to have either one of them. I have a Facebook that is not real, a friend thought it would be funny to make me one in the hopes of getting me addicted to it. In her conquest to introduce me to things such as "mystalking" and "adding" people-- she has single handedly given me severe anxiety over this fake Facebook of mine. She refuses to give me the password (because I want to delete it) and thinks it's hilarious that I get a ridiculous amount of unwanted friend requests in my aggiemail inbox. I don't know why the thought of having a Facebook or Myspace makes me cringe. Everyone has one, everyone is doing it- - does that mean that I should too? Slowly but surely I have come to the realization that as a PR major it's almost necessary if not vital to have some sort of information about you on the internet. Which leads me to my very first blog. I hope that what started out as a requirement from my JCOM classes to create a blog, turns into an experience that will make me more comfortable with interacting with others over the internet.

    I really like this. I have been really againist the notion of putting information of any kind for all the world to see about me. I consider myself to be a very private person. The ever all knowing, world broadcasting network designed for natural disaster relief in California(originally), has never been a comfortable experience. From fraud, porn and identity left, who would risk it?

    I think that if that National Championship game was on a true "neutral site" Oklahoma wouldve won. Oklahoma was deep in Florida's territory twice and didnt get any points, that is pretty unlikely to happen again. Not to take anything away from Florida, theyre good no question, but youre not going to convince me that they are that much better than Oklahoma. Maybe a little better, I like Florida's defense better, but I still like Oklahoma's offense better. Tebow is great though, he is more a fullback than a Quarterback though ha.
