Au revoir, ma ferme
Sometimes the end comes quickly. We go about our normal routine, thinking very little about what’s most important to us, letting the “lil things” get to us. And then, without warning, something or someone we love is gone. Perhaps even worse than the loss itself is the thought that “we never got to say goodbye.” We replay in our mind again and again the things we would...

Becoming a Fan
I’ve been eagerly anticipating a “fan” suggestion. It’s a clue, indicating in which direction Facebook thinks I should grow. Much like a Christian who falls asleep at church every Sunday, I could very easily just click on “Become a Fan,” wipe my hands, and go about my normal life. But I don’t think that I would be “going literal” enough. I...

The White Veil

My first fwend request
A few weeks ago, I met a friend’s sister briefly at a show. The following day, she returned to her native Japan, and I assumed I would never see her again. Facebook has another plan for our friendship, though, and insists that I befriend her. So I do. Although I believe that there is a reason for all of Facebook’s suggestions, I cannot subscribe to Satomi’s posts via SMS,...

The Rules
I will visit Facebook at least once a day. I will complete at least the two displayed suggestions on the homepage every time I visit. I will “go literal” with the suggestions and “make Facebook better” for my friends. I will not tell anyone that my actions were based on Facebook’s suggestions. I will put complete faith in Facebook’s Plan. No matter how...
