Facebook is an interesting phenomenon, particularly the concept of Facebook friends.
I thought I would try to make friends outside of Facebook while utilising the same principles.
Every day I walk down the street and tell passersby what I have eaten, how I feel at the moment, what shoes I have chosen to wear today and why, what I did last night and what I intend to do later - and with whom.
I give them pictures of my family, pictures of my dog, photos of me gardening, dissembling things in the garage, watering the lawn, standing in front of landmarks, driving around town, having lunch - just doing what anybody and everybody does every day.
I also listen to their conversations. I give them the "thumbs up" or, occasionally, the "thumbs down". I tell then that I like them - whether, in fact, I do or not.
Lo! it works just like Facebook. I already have four people following me - two police officers, a private investigator and a psychiatrist.
