your love, your love, your love is my drug.

I'm currently having a moment. I knew I was addicted, but I didn't realize to what extent until now. I NEED facebook. It's my go to site when I'm bored at work, at home. It's the application I open when i'm in an awkward situation on the train or out and about. I'm Lindsay Lohan and Facebook is my cocaine and I need more than jail or rehab or a change in hair color (Please go back to the red Lindz it's the hair dye that's making you insane) to save my soul.

Facebook is currently down and I'm now realizing how much of my life is dedicated to it. I mean hell, I write on a blog about it! I think its time to step back and take a breather. I could never fully get rid of facebook, but I wonder if this is the beginning of the end? First the parents started joining, then the Facebook movie, now site outages, and lets not forget the presence of twitter. I know this question has been put forth before, but is facebook going to go the way of myspace, friendster, and all those social networking sites before it? And not to get to philosophical, but if facebook goes does that mean we are all growing up? AND more than that, what will be the thing to replace facebook, and will I be too old and uncool to join it when it comes? I guess my point is this, sometimes it takes little disruptions in our daily routines to change it up a bit, so take this as a moment to do what people have been saying since the Internets were called the world wide web and go for a run, pick up a book, or hell whatever happened to rotting your brain by watching good ole fashion TV?!

So I'm making a pledge to let facebook only be a small part of my life for a bit. I'm sure this will only serve to make me more productive in my daily duties and make me friendlier to people I see on the street and that can't hurt...right? When I feel uncomfortable I'll text someone like I used to do and when I'm bored I'll read a newspaper. Knowing me this will only last a little bit, but its worth a try. Now lets get out there and do something with our lives!

oh and twitter is for crazies.
