Why I've opted out of Facebook....

This could be a long-winded post but I'm going to try to get to the nub of why I've deactivated my Facebook account. Control issues. There you go, I felt that I'd lost control of what I wanted to do with my disappearing time. There are only so many hours in the day, and being on Facebook was like waking up everyday to a gigantic "to do" list that someone else thought you should do....very tiring! People you haven't even thought about for 20 years all of a sudden are former best buddies and want to re-kindle the past. There are all those games, and gifts, and wonderful good causes....all of which are requiring time and attention. I tried it, honest....didn't work for me. I do like talking and emailing with real friends and associates on a one to one basis, but not through this artificial social medium. Of course that is strictly my humble opinion.
