Bored With Facebook

BORED WITH FACEBOOK

I am not entirely sure, but I think I created my profile more than two years ago.
2009 was a really bad year for me, and I discovered that I did not have any real friends. I knew a lot of people, but when the lights went out they all ran. Well, 99% of them did.

Online social networking filled the vacuum and presented a good camouflage for the harsh reality.

Over the months I have built up a network of over 2000 online friends, although many of these still only communicate with me when they are looking for complimentary tickets or need to get onto some or other guest list.

Lately, I find muself yearning for the real live experience of meeting new and interesting people and interacting on a personal level.

And I am decidedly bored with online social networking.

I am tired of reading lame and inconsequential status updates, I am tired of sharing with an anonymous world the trivia that randomly pops up in my head, I am tired of being poked by strangers, and I am tired of accepting friend requests from strangers, who, if I accept them, never talk to me again.

I don’t care any more whether Bridget ‘was late for work again this morning’, that Shafiek ‘is hungry yor’, that Justin ‘is SO blessed thank you Jesus', that Aaliyah 'is in a relationship and it’s complicated’, or that Nicole’s ‘daY is geTtiNg betA An bEtA (**,).’

Fok!
I am so fargen bored with this shit.

I am not taking any drastic steps like deleting my profile yet, as I still think that at times it’s a useful, if over-rated marketing tool,, but I doubt whether I will be spending much time on facebook in the immediate future.
I can still post updates to my site without having to actually visit FB, and those who really do use FB to network with me can still send me emails on FB as these show in Outlook.

There you have it.
I’m all facebooked out.

	Tuesday 6 July 2010 RECIPE FOR SEAFOOD PAELLA: Before we rush into the kitchen to cook, let’s clear up the pronunciation thing.
