Owed to Facebook.....

I am here because I am trying to shy away from Facebook. In making my decision of breaking free from the consumer of my internet time and bandwidth, I was assessing this critical life changing decision from many different angles. Here are my findings.

1. What if Facebook is an attempt of someone collecting data about me, my friends, what we all like, and how not so normal we all act amongst ourselves?? Actually, it is. Conversation interaction is great--especially when we can speak our mind. If we have to "edit" our thoughts as we are in a deep conversation, it is clear that some time down the road, someone who has no clue on that exact moment, you will we grossly misjudged. When we have an opinion that our friends new car is a piece of crap, only an idiot will ask you how is such a comparison valid. Solution: block the dumbass!!

2. Why do we have friends that think that facebook is a modern version of a party-line phone conversation. I don't need to know the details about a friends friend that had a stomach ache this morning and that they are going to see the are going to see the doctor because they are peeing blue after breakfast. Solution: Since they are on the subject of peeing, Kindly piss off!!"

3. What happened to people calling?? Have we lost the fine art of conversation?? Well, if the conversation is like that of the friend's friend above, they I should thank them for not calling me as they are in line at the grocery store. Some things are better left unsaid and un-facebooked!!

...But in all fairness, FB is forcing us to get back to the fine art of writing. I am not talking about the the conversations that consist of "yeah" "no" "k". Now, is it THAT difficult to say "ok" that people really feel that pressing the letter "o" takes up too much energy?? Have a candy bar on me!!!..

As the name of this block implies, 'if you can read my mind'... I know, I have to write more, as lots is on my mind. Please remember that feedback, not facebook, is the breakfast of champions. Whats your "take" on this issue?? Go out and make it a great day.
