Maybe because I was born as a curious and adventurous child, I recently became intrigued by the world of Facebook.
In a weak moment, I decided to join this “Unique Social Network” and opened my private account …

My expectations were high and … completely wrong,
I expected web pages with “faces” of people wanting to become popular, famous, or, “being noticed” because of their special talents.
Old fool … after a couple of days I received messages like these:

“Hey Joey, here is a laser-gun that you can use in Mafia-Wars; can you provide me of another useful weapon?” (?? pardon me ????)

“Hey Joey, here is a lemon-tree”  (?? a lemon tree  ??) “… can you send me some other trees for my garden?” (I immediately inspected my backyard garden … any fruit trees being under direct attack ???)

“Hey Joey, you received a Lilly-plant from XXX, do you want to send back a ZZZ plant to your friends?” 

Now, what the $&*$%  is a Lilly plant and what is a ZZZ plant ???  Where do I find one and how do I ship it??

Of course, I do feel very flattered that many of my Windows Live friends meet me on Facebook, but, boy oh boy, how lost do I feel in that surrealistic, even psychedelic world of make-belief and fairy-tales.

Joey .

PS: “Hmm … do you know what all that recent fuzz is about this Twitter-Twitter-Wack-Wack-Donald-Ducky thingy??”
