St. Hubbins Does Facebook

Carsenio St. Hubbins hasn't ever seen the need to follow trends or be the first to try something new. He finds it too expensive. Letting someone else spend the money or make the mistake is preferable to him. As a plus, Carsenio gets to observe some striking fashion horrors and often gets a laugh from it. One can image how he felt when social networking came along.

When MySpace came around and was all the rage, Carsenio St. Hubbins observed from a distance. He found many aspects of the pages he saw very annoying, such as repetitive songs the users loaded as their page soundtrack. Hearing the same thing over and over again while on the page reminded St. Hubbins of the time the Muzak broke at one of his former jobs and he was stuck with the same horrific five song cycle for eight hours. He is still overcoming the mental trauma!

Facebook came along and all of a sudden, people were ditching MySpace in droves. Facebook seemed to be a better, less annoying idea, until his friends started getting bombarded with Mafia Wars and Farmville invitations. Not wanting to be poked, prodded, invited to be in a Mafia, or otherwise annoyed, St. Hubbins elected not to join at that juncture.

Twitter came along and people started Tweeting. Upon hearing what the site was called, St. Hubbins immediately envisioned masses of people going potty in their pants- his definition of tweeting. To this day when he hears about celebrities tweeting when they arrive at places, St. Hubbins keeps wondering if they brought extra underwear. Twitter is a site Carsenio still doesn't understand, so he will not be joining in the Tweeting madness- he doesn't want to have to carry extra underwear wherever he goes.

Today, Carsenio St. Hubbins is pleased to announce his joining the social networking world. He now has a Facebook profile. His friend list will likely be small, as many don't understand or appreciate his exploits and views. When asked if he was concerned about privacy on Facebook, he simply said, "What I post on there, although it will be the truth, will be too outrageous for anyone to believe. Besides, I'm not worried about Mark Zuckerberg knowing I like Sharpies, napkins, and tinfoil wrapped cucumbers. Whomever can profit from that information, I wish them well."

One need only speculate of what will happen now that St. Hubbins is part of the social networking world. His only word of advice for people is to watch what they post, because his off the wall comments may follow. His wall posts will be St. Hubbins at his best. It is a rare thing for Carsenio St. Hubbins to stick with anything for too long, so we don't know how long he'll last on Facebook. Rest assured, the time he does spend will be more than worth it.
