Blogging is better than Facebook!

Ok, I'm going to take Sara's example, and blog again... spend those hours I waste on Facebook in the Blogosphere...

I've had fun with Facebook, and I really like to be connected with a lot of people that I've lost touch with. But then again, that's also the way of the world -- you lose touch, connect again... but I can't possibly be in CONSTANT contact with the hundreds of people who have touched my life, in one way or another.

And now Facebook wants to change ... again ... so I'm coming back here, to a place of comfort... where *I* control what is visible and not visible... I may delete *ALL* of my facebook content, rather than have it do a stupid timeline. I'm not sure that the whole world really needs to know my whole life. You each get a piece of it, that part that matters. I'll fill you in on the history, I don't need Facebook to select which parts you get shown.

There aren't as many distractions here... no games clamoring for me to click on them... just words to read, and words to write. I used to envision myself a writer... back in the days when I used to be a reader... Now that my time is controlled by an outside force, I find that I need to choose more wisely how I spend the moments I do have.

So I will come back here, blog... really...

and please comment, so that I know that someone is reading!!!

  1. I understand what you're saying about FB, but I use FB mostly for playing games. I've tried blogging, but my life is too boring for people to want to read about it. I'll stop by and read yours, though, if you blog regularly. :)

    But this time you'll actually do it?

    Ha. I dunno... I never blog or post on FB much... I'm just not one for putting my thoughts and stuff out for any Tom, Dick, or Harry to read...
