from things that consume a great part of your life.
i.e. facebook sucks your time away from you like nothing else.
(I'm sorry I haven't posted in awhile and will hopefully begin to post frequently. Though those vBlogs never really took off from my first, so we'll see how well I stick with posting.)
So, I just wanted to bring up this subject known as: fb. You know it. I know it. You love it. I love it. This weekend that I am in Tallahassee I am giving up facebook. You're probably thinking, "Why would he do that?" Good question. I decided to do this because it was brought to my attention that I spend way too much time on facebook and because I saw that someone else was doing it (lame reason, I know). So you will not "see" me on facebook until Sunday or Monday. I just thought I'd comment on what consumes my time. I mean when was the last time I evaluated how much time I spend on the Internet? Um........I don't know.
Using the Internet isn't wrong for sure. But if I come to the point where I find myself wondering what to do with myself if I do not have facebook, that my friends is just sad. Seriously though, I mean it's just facebook. What has happened to me? I think to some degree I've become addicted to it because it allows me to live life through facebook, ya know? I know for me I get excited when I see notifications from comments on my statuses and wall posts. WOW. Ya, it's true.
So, why am I doing this? I need a break from the time-sucker: fb. My life should not revolve around status updates, quizzes, wall posts, and picture posting. Life is more than fb.
Just thought I'd throw that out there.

kudos to you!
dude yah facebook is a monster that is consuming all of us alive!!! =) like Hulu! gasp!
lol! I'm with you there buddy. =) I get addicted to FB too, but mostly 'cause I just love spending time with people, getting to know them better. I write on people's wall and stuff, but I just LOVE talking to anyone I can on chat. =)
I noticed that I have been spendig way to much time doing silly things on it lately though. Like quizzes or flair. I get bored, and I do that. Totally not what I want my FB to be about. I want to make my FB page a place were people can come and feel encouraged. I want to get on and chat with people, and help them! So that's my goal with my FB now. =)
Btw, thanks soooo much for posting!

Hey Matt,
It's been so long, and I doubt you'll even read my comment since it's so far down, but goodness I know exactly how you feel about computers and internet!
I get so, so tired of having to work on them all the time since I do school and work on the computer. I'm on it all the time! Every chance I get away from it is so wonderful!
Well I guess I better go, but I hope you are doing well.. It's been so long since I've seen you.
