Facebook was, is, and probably always will be an amazing site. I was able to connect with people that have made me a better person. However, I was also able to connect with people that drove me nuts and made me want to shoot myself. No doubt, I probably drove them crazy as well but instead of wanting to shoot themselves they wanted to shoot me too.
It had been a long time coming but last week the camel's back finally snapped from the weight of the straw. I had periodically taken breaks in my three years on Facebook but no more than several days at a time. And at no time during my tenure on the great social network had I ever deactivated my account. In fact, I have had several "friends" deactivate their account and reactivate it and I found it odd. I could have just went silent and not made any posts or commented on any threads but that wouldn't have been much fun.
I decided I would become a blogger. In essence, I was already doing it but my audience wasn't necessarily there to see me, at least not the majority of them. By creating the blog I could be assured each reader went out of their way to cross my path, hear my views, and share my world. Plus, this has red curtains and a counter at the bottom of the page.
Let the adventure begin.
I don't know if I was one who made you want to shoot yourself at times or one who made you feel like a better person....hopefully the latter. Regardless, I wanted to pop your blog cherry, so to speak, and be the first to comment. I'm completely new to the blogging scene, but I've missed your passionate posts and witty banter, so I'll be checking in from time to time, if that's okay..... ~ Julie
