That's right. I have gotten rid of Facebook...for now.
Halloween night I went out with some friends, and had a great time. I dressed up as a Minion and went hopping around town. I had some friends coming through town, and a group of us took our party around the city. I got home around 2am and the first thing I did was get on Facebook.
While I was browsing newsfeed I thought to myself "I just spent a great night out with REAL people, why do I need to look at a computer of people in other parts of the world?" Well, I don't need to. So, I deleted my account. I decided to keep it like that for the month, and sign back on it come December.
When I woke up, I had a feeling of freedom. The first thing I did in the morning was NOT get on the computer. I made breakfast, watched some TV, had a friend stop by for some catching up and then met up with a group of friends for dinner. No facebook at all. And no desire to check it either.
It's not the end of November, and the time I was giving myself to be FB FREE is about over. I don't think I'll get back on it just yet, as it's been pretty good without it. I've been meeting up with different friends, not distracted at work, or even when doing projects at home. It hasn't really affected my social life as people said it would. Those who need to reach me from afar and gotten to me via email, and those here in Vietnam who want to make plans reach me by texting or calling. REAL CONTACT!
Let's see when I'm readying to make the jump back into the online world...
