Facebook and Friendships...

Posted by Mr. M January 27, 2009

I was looking over my facebook account and realized that I have some very memorable moments with several of the people on there. With turning 36, in a few short hours, I realized that through the wonder of technology, I am still in contact with those people. I thought I would share a handful of memories and see if anyone can shares them. Names have been withheld to protect the innocent.

  • My first concert was U2, Joshua Tree in Oakland. My best-friend's brother took me. They are both in my friends list at facebook.
  • I was baptized on December 2, 1989 into the Church of Jesus-Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The young lady that introduced me to the church, is also a friend on facebook.
  • I lettered in football and track at two different high schools. I have several friends from those teams as friends on facebook.
  • I taught early morning seminary (Scripture Study) for two and a half years. Most of my sutdents are friends of mine on facebook.
  • For Senior Ditch day I went to the College World Series at CSU Fresno with by best friend at the time. He is a friend on facebook. I actually had a little crush on his sister....SSHHHHH, she is also a facebook friend.
  • I invited my girlfriend to Senior Prom by having two friends unroll a huge banner during half-time of the homecoming basketball game...Unchained Melody played over the PA system...and she still said yes. The person who played the song for me, the two friends that unrolled the banner and the lucky young lady who said yes are all friends on facebook.
  • I was picked on and even beat up all the way through my sophomore year...thankfully I outgrew it. Yes, a few of them even have become facebook friends.
  • I used to harrass a very pretty young women in my history class because she could give the meanest looks ever...she became a cheerleader for the 49ers...and remembers me harrassing her...and is also a friend on facebook.
  • I have caught a pass in a real game from an NFL quarterback...of course we were in high school at the time. He went on to be great...I well let's just say went on.
  • I sang (badly) in the Concert Choir in high school. Several members of that choir are friends on facebook.
  • In elementary school, I wanted to grow up and be Prince, not a prince, but the artist known as the artist formerly known as Prince....I can't find him on facebook. ;-)
WOW...I could go on forever, I have many personal more memories with several of my facebook friends that were on this list that I removed because they are that special. I just want to tell everyone out there that has been a part of my life over the last 36 years thank you.
