Obligatory Post on the "Social Experiment"

For seven days and seven nights I fasted in the desert.  I scorned the pleasures of the world in order to free my ephemeral soul, casting all of my worldly dependencies out of my easily tempted sight.  For those seven days I wandered aimlessly, looking for reason and purpose, putting my life into perspective.  I trudged across the barren wastelands, utterly incapable of action without my dependencies, and completely lost.  It was then that I came across a new idol.  A shining white X-Box 360 appeared before my crusted eyes and chapped face.  Its video output cables output the elixir of life, and its open DVD holder seemed to offer me holy sustenance.  So I survived by its power, but it just wasn't enough.  My infernal insatisfaction left me feeling unsated.  And thus I marched on, across the sea of bleached earth, continuing on my quest to find truth and contentment.  Before I could find it though, the devil appeared to me in the form of a giant book with a face on it, holding I am guessing, every form of temptation known to mankind.  The face-book opened up to page 237 and spoke to me, saying "You have a phone to talk to people with, why not just use it to text as well?"  At first I thought this was a brilliant idea, but I soon came to the realization that it was in fact a temptation that I had to overcome.  And thus I boldly responded, "One does not live by texting alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God"  The face-book cursed me and flew me to a computer floating in the sky.  "Do you know what your homework is?' it asked.  "Because I have heard it said that you have the power of MSN chat at your command and if you should jump blindly into your homework, the MSN shall catch you and bring you out unscathed."  I thought that this was a wonderful idea, and that it would bring me into a blissful world of peace and harmony so I took one step towards the ledge that was the MSN shortcut.  But I realized that it was exactly that; a shortcut.  So I stepped back and declared "You shall not put the Homework, your God, to the test!"  And thus did I defeat yet another temptation.  This devilish face-book had one last temptation for me though, and it flew me into the central server of Facebook and spoketh thus, "Look at all of these people you can be social with, simply bow down and open your Facebook encounter and you shall have this social interaction and popularity!"  I was sorely tempted indeed, but I knew that this would only lead to my ruin.  "Get away, Facebook!" I spoke.  "It is written: 'The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.'  And at that moment a light appeared above my right shoulder, I picked up my phone and spoke to somebody who told me that I had done good.  And I was satisfied.
