Is Facebook the Drunken Phone Call of the 2010's?

It's late. You've been drinking. Your mind wanders to a time when you were not alone. You think about (insert random ex's name here) and decide to give them a call.. but wait! Now, we have facebook! You can just add them to your friends list and let them know you were thinking about them without that awkward, ill-advised, alcohol-flavored phone call of slurred regret.
Am I saying that looking your ex's up on facebook is a bad thing? Hardly. I don't know about most women.. I never seem to know about most women.. but I do know that it's nice to hear from SOME of my ex's on occassion. The recent addition to my facebook friends list made me smile. I had to open my little wooden treasure chest and retrieve this:


Yeah, it's looking a little aged, but I'm surprised I still have it. (And I hope I didn't embarrass John A. too much. There are a few John's on my facebook list anyway, so no one knows who this past sweetheart is.)


To all the guys in my past who treated me decently, thank you. I appreciate that I can look back on some of my past relationships and smile.
