No Facebook

The community of people now days that use social networking is enormous.  For me personally, facebook has taken over my life.  It has gotten to the point where if im not out with friends i will sit on my computer all day on facebook with my guitar in hand.  The past two days i hat rock bottom.  There were plenty of things i could have done like read a book or do something outside, but instead i chose to stare at a computer screen all day.

At this point i decided i needed to make a change.  As of yesterday (wednesday) i have de activated my facebook and am attempting to go 2 weeks without facebook.  ideally i would just stop using facebook completely.  this would give me so much more time to get into the word and also to persue activities have have stopped like parkour and maybe some bouldering with some friends?  I always talk about how kids spend too much time playing video games, but who am i to look down on that when i do pretty much the same thing except on facebook?  Im going to try and walk the walk and not just talk the talk.  But the question now is what exactly WILL i do.  i dont see myself training for parkour anymore.  At least not by myself.  Maybe if i got a buddy to go with me i will but maybe not.  Something i want to do more of is ride my bike.  like ride it in these mountain trails just a little bit from my house.

There are a couple rational reasons why i would want to stay on facebook though.  One being that it is such an easy way to share pictures and find pics of your friends and yourself.  You can upload hundreds at a time and same with video.  It is cool to post something you recorded and get almost instant feedback from friends and stuff.  I guess if i record anything i could just post it on youtube or on this blog for like the one person who reads this to look at.  another good thing is all the invent invites.  facebook tells you info on stuff going on like shows, times, addresses.  Also the band pages help you stay in touch with what different bands are doing and you can find tour dates and listen to music and whatnot.  The only reason i have not deleted my fb earlier was because of the event and band pages or else i would have a long time ago. 

In a nutshell, facebook sucks and drains your life away.
