Facebook Vs Blogging...?

Hi there,

I have been a blogger for about 4 years I like blogging as it reminds me of the best bits of my own life etc etc, but last year I went along and tried facebook its been an interesting year and in facebooks defense I have found alot of old freinds or in some cases some of them have found me, even so all in all its been a fun and interesting experience - but im not so sure if the attraction is starting to wane on me a bit...I may decide to return to my blog and then posting 'if ever' my ramblings as a link from my blog on facebook.

Some of the people on facebook who have found me, are without a doubt a tad boring and some of the people I hoped I would delight in catching back up with, never write a thing to me and have ignored me ever-since finding me - a friend - I doubt it...really eh. I have even e mailed them to no avail, its weird this can mean that they only really gave a shit breifly had a nose through your pics laughed at your now sad older hairstyle and then moved on forgetting you very quickly, but hey you increase there number of friends so they leave you on there to add to the numbers as if your a pawn on there popularity list....

Some or most of the people on there are lets say aquintances and nice ones too, people I have come across in my life and shared a cool mutual experience with which is all good, but do I actually have to keep tabs on thered daily lives ????? If i am honest I am getting to the point where I dont care about any of the crap on there anymore....call it age if you will, but im getting a feeling that facebook is making me a bit sick and un-human...I mean do I actually prefer my facebook freinds to real human interaction and the answer is no a big NO!!!

I was staring into the screen just the other day and I realised I had nothing of real interest to type (Point is i still felt obligated to visit the site...why!!!) thats not to say I dont have anything of interest to say but that it would not have suited the audience of facebook, and it seems there are many others who also dont have much to say either - but guess what... they still bore the shit out of us with there constant drivvle 'because they also feel the almost adictive need to post something - anything.....' ......yawn.....

Now dont get me wrong some of the links and stuff are hilarious and some of my freinds I truly value but it's the human schrapnel gets that getting me down, they post about how they feel today and just utter, utter crap, and how there little one looks cute in this and that....mums they must be the bloody worst....

In the olden days id get e mails, whats wrong with those now? you can send pictures etc and you can send one e mail to hundreds of your freinds if you so wish....is this not a better way to say hello to someone you actually care about??

Have you looked through your e mail inbox of late all of mine is buisness related, trying to make me spend more money on more shit, or internet purchase receipts etc...or porn.......hardly any if any freinds e mail me....what does this say?

Maybe just maybe - I dont have many or any, and the most important person in my life is being ignored as I sit here staring at this fucking screen - expecting that my life will come to me from the screen...

I mean I can be in my lounge on one settee and my girlfreind Stephanie on the other on the other side of the room both of us on facebook, both looking at each other thinking what the FUCK!!! - why are we not going out doing something for christs sake.....nurturing our own existence instead of being sucked into this empty void of internet crap.....

The truth is I used to be much more er .... interesting.....no thats wrong I am still interesting but in a older way (slowing down a tad) I think, anyway the point is I think some people on facebook need to get out more, much more, in fact all of us do me included and popping back in to facebook every month or so to catch up with loads of new stuff to tell hopefully of interest...to the rest of world...

Anyway - any which way I try to write about this I lose as I have enjoyed seeing other peoples lives but I have also been rejected by those I thought would care, its my life thats been affected as i sit there wondering some days why no one has said something to me or commented on a picture or two I may have posted, sad I know but it's got me by the balls and im out of here, back to my blog and I will be posting links and nothing more from now on.

And oh let the friend culling begin.....get out you lot and do stuff, stop staring at the screen life has just flown past the window........didnt you see it oh and by the way its yours....

By the way some of you on facebook I value highly some I really dont give a toss about...sorry.
