So I deleted my facebook, myspace, twitter, and foursquare. I have almost taken myself completely off of the social media network... short of Livejournal. I haven't really spent any quality time here in years, but I do recall that this place was a great outlet- and it was also fantastic for getting inside the minds of your friends.
All of the other oh so popular websites seem to have created a non personal quick update sort of detached experience. No one has the need to call and "see how someone is doing" because they can check their status message in facebook, or their latest tweet. The more friends I got on those sites, the more lonely I felt. Funny how that works.
And then I also realized that the extended amounts of time I did spend scrolling through other peoples updates seemed to suck the life out of me. It almost became a chore.
Im sure there wont be much of a backlash from removing myself from these places... though it has only been a couple hours...
Going to see if the old school blog/journal/writing expression is going to fill that space that it did so many years ago.
But tonight, Burn Notice and Royal Pains are coming on... so I wont be writing much :)
