Lent and Facebook


I know that these topics are very random, and I feel like I am being sacrilegious by putting them together. Maybe not too much, but some people don't use Facebook just to keep in touch...

Well, anyways, this applies to my roommates as well as every person in college, and abroad. First, about Lent. Since that starts this coming Wednesday...

Someone recently brought it to my attention that a new fad this year is people giving up networking sites (click here to see article) such as Facebook and MySpace for the six weeks of Lent. In a way, I think this is a good idea. For instance, I know Spencer spent two hours on it today to put pictures up. Chelsea and I have been checking both sites all day as a way to avoid homework. And most people spend more time doing that than doing homework! So is that a cleansing for not only the Lenten holiday but also for people in general. Maybe we should try talking to people in general and not "stalking" them on Facebook. I think my roommates and I need to debate this, what do you think guys?

If you guys haven't had a chance to listen to Harmon Creek, make sure to check out their MySpace. They have a big gig/audition coming up but I don't want to be the one releasing the idea!


And basically to continue the idea that we center our lives around social networking sites, can anybody tell me how you can get to Facebook on the Blackberry Pearl? Like I've said before, I'm not too technologically savy...
