i had technical and logistics issues this last weekend of 2011. a friend who had to cancel while i was in transit. a hotel with internet service delivered by a recalcitrant donkey. photos that wouldn’t upload. or is it download? i can never tell the difference.
yet, i have gotten my asian F, finishing at 292 friends met during 2011 out of 325 friends i had as of january 1, 2011. f2fb friend #291 was john adorjan who i hesitated to call because of his number — 867 5309. i thought it was a prank when i saw it on his “info” page.
- 867-5309/jenny was a song on the tommy tutone 2 album released in 1982. its popularity caused many people to call the number and ask for “jenny”
john gets people calling him all the time asking for jenny. think of all the area codes in the country–there are a lot of folks with that problem.
john and i met because of mutual friends. he likes to play with his facebook profile and we agreed that what people present themselves as on facebook very often isn’t what is real. john is a photographer and he’s developing a business creating profile portraiture that would express the real essence of a person. we had a photoshoot and the results will be posted on my facebook page soon.
and then i welcomed in the new year. . . .
but, wait, you’re saying to yourself what about f2fb friend #292? well, frank skony works in banking and december 31 represented the end of the quarter and the end of the year. reports, reports, long hours, lunches delivered by management to one’s desk so that nobody would slip away for an hour.
chinese new year for 2012 year of the dragon is monday january 23. frank skony's new year is january 2..
frank is someone who has transformed his life and he’s using 2012 to do it again. he is a perfect facebook friend to conclude the year with. we will talk about my new years resolution for 2012 and give thanks to mark zuckerberg for creating the facebook that let’s us keep in touch so well.
i began the year with f2fb friend #1 eastman, my son, representing love and frank will represent growth. 2012 will be a very good year for you and me both. let’s do it together!

Congratulations on a job well done. You look so positive, happy, and relaxed causing you to look younger in your video. It’s been an amazing year. Cheers! (Raising and clinking a glass of sparkling grape juice to your champagne).

Whoo-hoo! What an amazing year.
Just think 2012 is already upon us, and who knows what awesomeness lies ahead!
Congratulations on what was probably the biggest resolution of 2011!
