I realise that I haven’t update my personal blog in a while. I just haven’t had the time recently….but maybe that’s about to change as I just took the plunge and REMOVED myself from Facebook. The horror!

Joking aside…I actually feel amazing after doing this. You would not believe the amount of time I’ve wasted on that site…it just draws you into meaningless stalking, conversations and non-life. Yep I think that’s about as good as explaination as any. It adds nothing to my relationships, only distracting me from genuine real-life experiences.

If this is the way that friendships and experiences are going then I am happy to forgo the whole non-business related social networking space. I would rather communicate with my friends face to face thank you very much!

But what really suprised me about the whole leaving facebook thing was other people’s reactions…they were almost unified in their response…oh you’re leaving facebook….are you ok? And an even better….wow yeah great I’m really proud of you, but I just couldn’t do it…there are friends I’d never speak to otherwise…

Hmmm so tell me…if you ditched your facebook you wouldn’t make the effort to hang out with these people? Are they in fact really your friends then?
