I love this piece! I recently deactivated my facebook and you would’ve thought the world had ended! My friends responded with the following: WHY?! Are you okay? Is everything fine? How are you doing? You know you can step away from it, and then come back? You know you can delete people from it? Is there something wrong?
I have to admit I felt insulted, like I had to be of unsound mind to de-clutter my life with busy, self important talk which I find a lot on facebook. I think facebook has fallen into the idea of busy.
To be honest, I grew sick of how facebook seem to be more of an outlet for bragging, than about sharing and keeping in touch with others. Keeping in touch turned into- well, I “liked” your status- didn’t I? Or, it became more of- well, I follow you- that’s maintaining a friendship, right?! While I can see those simple forms of contact may be for the masses, it is not the meaningful form of communication my brain appreciates. I may as well go to a bar on a Friday night…
Sorry for the rant a bit there- just trying not to stay THAT busy! We are all busy and need to learn how to make time more meaningful in our everyday comings and goings.

i think it funny that we, as a “society,”
confuse passion for anger
and empathy for weakness;
that strong opinions mean one must be wielding a sword in one hand
and ill- thought in the other, is as ridiculous as the consumer whore-ism
and dumb bimbos- male and female, we toss our dollars and our children at.
better yet, tears of joy or sorrow, tears at all- have now become the unholy mark of those we must scoff at and belittle
“obviously” these meager souls have no sense of their own given the emotions shown.
so i guess that’s why we, in our absentee caring, prefer to dumb down a nation than to listen and share in the human condition.
