So I just decided to do it. I had no reason, I wasn't protesting anything. No one pissed me off or anything like that. I just decided to take a break from Facebook and Twitter for a while. Don't even think of asking why, I just don't know. It had all gotten just a little too silly and redundant for me. All of the "Apps" on Facebook were annoying. All the pointless tweets on Twitter were almost mind numbing. So I just decided to take a break. Am I saying I'll never use these sites again, hecks no! But who knows, maybe after a break, I'll improve the ways that I use them both. For now they both seem so pointless.
I remember during the campaign season last fall, Twitter was the center of my life! To me it seemed as if the national debate was being wagged in the form of tweets every night. After every debate, and every news show, there were millions of opinions flowing between myself and my fellow "tweeps". And even during the inauguration of President Obama, we shared so much that we crashed the site, and brought on the infamous "Fail Whale" all weekend long. But the excitement has since subsided, and all we seem to tweet about is Rihanna's goodies.
Ok, i'll get off my sop box (because I know I was looking at the Rihanna pix too...). Maybe I'll take this time to start blogging again. It is something that I've been neglecting over the past few years. I know, I know... It's so old school, so 2003! You might be right, but at least it was a little something more to it. Web 2.0 seems to be turning our brains to mush even quicker than TV, and that's saying something!
