• LENT: Giving Up Social Networking

  
  Random street photogs, A womans best friend

   

  25 Days, and I couldn't handle it. lol.

  So one day me and my friends were at a diner just hanging out, Then my one friends tells me how it's ridiculous how i have so many websites lol. Facebook, Xanga, Flickr, DeviantArt, and I'm even about consider Tumblr lol.  She told me I couldn't handle it if I gave it up for Lent. And Then I put some things on top of it. Like, no video games or tv. I really wanted to be more active with my life lol. I thought it shouldn't be so hard. I didn't wanna go into it alone so I said I wasn't going to do it unless my best friend did it with me. 

  "Could I at least warn everyone that i'm going to be gone?"

  "NO... no one is to know haha"

  We couldn't do it lol. We kept on changing the rules during the month lol. One week in we lifted the video games rule. Since we don't do much of that anyway. 3 Days later we said we'd only watch 2.5 hours of tv a day.. then we just started to ignore that rule completely lol. The one thing I was able to not do the longest was do social networking. I could live without it, but honestly, it's just so convenient to communicate to the masses with a couple of taps on the keyboard and a sometimes a left click on the mouse.

  I felt kind of bad though, because I was in Japan during March, I left 3 days before the Earthquake. I did mention I was back on facebook, but I just stopped going on shortly after. I was worried that people would have that I was still there and that I was possibly dead.

  And with Xanga I haven't been on for ages, and then i'm not allowed to be back for another 40? CRUEL is what it was lol. for me at least. 

  Not social networking though brought it back to me old school, phone calls, e-mails, and such. We can honestly survive without it... but.. why would we. it's there. it's a fast way to get the word out. While I was out giving up social networking, if I had pictures i wanted to show people I Had to e-mail it to them. I'm happy I can tell them to just take a look at my album on flickr again haha.

   

  A LOT OF PICTURES TO POST SOON. AND NEWS TO BE HAD.
