Good grief. There's pedentary, vanity and all points in between. It matters not if a person can spell since that person has probably not been paying much attention in English classes, early grade school to college, certainly all points in between. As for vanity, remember that vanity only goes so far. Being interesting is much more, well, interesting. I have a FB account as well as MySpace, Twitter and so forth but with the proliferation of people, both interesting and idiotic, those with vanity or interesting comments, along with blogging, the latter which is biased and generally based on whomevers biases, as mine is. These are vanity sites folks.

Yet with all these sites I belong to, I rarely go to any of them. I have a life outside the Intenet and use it to good purpose. Constant texting, tweeting, blogging and so forth takes so much away from a what a person might be or become. I wonder why anyone would waste their time doing these fundtions so much. Following a soap opera is more interesting than most of the posts on those sites.

Go outside and smell the air, go to the library and read a book, try buying a book for god's sake. Learn something besides how to type and use the letter R for are or U for you. Doesn't anyone ever use a dictionary? It's really amazing to me how people have learned to belong only to themselves while belierving that others are that interested in who they really are not.

Get lives people. I read this only to see what people were saying. It seemed to me it was all vainglory.

The only possible use I can find for this is to share your profile with someone that doesn't use facebook.
