I argued, during my Friday mid-afternoon (10 July) co-presentation with Vance 'Joy of Soy' and 'EarthtoPhilly' Lehmkuhl on social media at the 35th Annual NAVS Vegetarian Summerfest, that these two verbs are too similar to be unrelated. An audience member disagreed with me, but Toronto's Lauren Corman of Animal Voices Podcast seems to agree because during her most recent podcast she asked listeners to 'befriend' them on Facebook.

Love, love changes everything
Hands and faces, earth and sky
Love, love changes everything
How you live and how you die
Love, can make the summer fly
Or a night seem like a lifetime
Yes love, love changes everything
Now I tremble at your name
Nothing in the world will ever be the same
Love, love changes everything
Days are longer, words mean more
Love, love changes everything
Pain is deeper than before
Love will turn your world around
And that world will last forever
Yes love, love changes everything
Brings you glory, brings you shame
Nothing in the world will ever be the same
Off into the world we go
Planning futures, shaping years
Love (comes in) and suddenly all our wisdom disappears
Love makes fools of everyone
All the rules we made are broken
Yes love, love changes everyone
Live or perish in its flame
Love will never never let you be the same
Love will never never let you be the same

I am just overwhelmed by the work I have to do at home, at HMS, and at HSPH - and my very best friend will be here this weekend.
I ask all my friends, acquaintances, and would-be friends to 'friend' me on all OTHER social media UNTIL Facebook increases total allowable connections beyond 5000 (I have maxed out with the TOTAL number of friends, groups, contacts, fanning, etc = 5000) and to READ MY BLOGS here and all the others, all linked at http://Maynard.Clark.GooglePages.com
Oddly, I'm taking a day off from work to sleep. Is being tired a result of feeling overwhelmed?
