Okay, I admit, part of me thinks it would be better to NOT be on facebook -- but because it's addictive, just like work e-mail is addictive, and not because I feel "the anxiety of my own mind," which is the most jackass thing I've ever heard. I am not afraid of being alone, thanks much. But I am afraid of being alone in a room where Cary Goldstein could spout his misguided theories on life to me.

Michael Doroughtey, however, cracks me up and I think got the point of this piece: a lighthearted take on something that really doesn't matter all that much.
