Facebook.....a colossal waste of time.....but so addictive.
And as we add applications and games we build up our circle of "friends" if only to trade stuff or get free stuff in our games.
And before we know it we have loads of "friends".....but WHO are these people exactly????
And then sometimes you get friends requests from their friends wanting to be friends with you....what's that all about.
Friends are people in my life...people who matter....people I care about and hope they care about me.
Friends are people I meet now and again for coffee....friends I swap Christmas cards and birthday gifts with.
Not people halfway round the planet that I have no connection with.
So today I have purged.....I already did a purge recently and reduced 200 friends to 154 by removing those who I have never actually met....with the exception of two people.
But that wasn't enough.....a lot of what were left are "friends" from a local forum. I may have met them once or twice but that's as far as it goes.....just people who use the same forum.
So I purged and those friends now are down to 90.....including one of the two I hadn't met.
And whilst I was at it I got rid of all the time consuming games and applications...you know - the ones where you win......PICTURES!!!! Some of them I even contributed my own money too...to buy extra credits to play the games....what was I thinking of.....what nonsense.
It all feels rather good....knowing tomorrow that I won't be reading status updates from people I hardly know and knowing that I don't have to get up at daft o'clock to go onto applications where the credits were updated at midnight in some other part of the world....when I should be asleep in bed.
Bliss....pure bliss.....well until I get withdrawal symptoms and add the bloody things back again......
End of entry.....thank you for reading x x x |
