facebook

I deleted my facebook account. There is a way to actually delete it. I really liked it my facebook account. It was fun to see what everyone was up to and "talking" to people I probably wouldn't otherwise.

But that is also why I deleted it. . . . That doesn't make sense?
Well, I felt like facebook was taking over some days. I was checking it like 6 times a day to see almost no changes most of the time and then while I was at the computer I might as well look at everyone's photos and before I know it I have wasted a half hour or an hour or two hours. Sometimes Malias was awake when I would do this and he wanted my attention too. I think he is more worthy of my time.

Its kinda sad how much I liked facebook. I still want to get on it at least a couple times a day, but now its gone and I think accomplish a few better things. Not that facebook is bad. I think it is great, and if I had more self control I would probably have not deleted it. But it is what it is. Right now I am working hard on my self control with food. I have horrible self control. I think I can only work on one thing at a time.

Also, I got thinkin, and I don't know if I like having virtual relationships. I would LOVE to talk or hang out with any of the people that were on my friend list, but on the computer it just doesn't seem as real. I want real. I want to be more in a time where you called your friends and family on the phone or went to their home to just visit and say hi. I think some people still do that.

I probably won't ever get that due to my own lacking. I am horrible at just calling people up. But I want to be better. Maybe I will start and be the friend I wish I was.

Blogging probably isn't "real" either but I will keep my blogs because like many others it is nice to have a kind of journal, and I know there is at least a few people who look at my blog and like it for the pictures of Malias and updates.

Anyways, I guess i just felt like rambling a bit about why you won't see me on facebook anymore. So to any/all of my facebook friends, I just want you to know I am still your friend and if you want to call and talk to me or something, I would love to.

I'm sad, but completely understand. If you ever change your mind you can start it up again and still have all the friends and apps you had before.
