Here's a little rant I left on a friend's Facebook Wall after she said my 3-month suspension from Facebook "inspired" her to get off it as well:
i personally think Facebook is the best social networking tool of all-time. it's much more personal than MySpace, and easier to find friends. it has a Wall that makes it quicker to leave comments. all the Apps. make it versatile. the interface is much more user friendly and not annoyingly complicated like customizing your MySpace page. and it has the Chat function. honestly, if they made their Chat operation more reliable, there would be no need for MySpace or AIM (or anything else for that matter). The internet would be ran by Google and Facebook.
but all that means is that Facebook IS the mortal enemy of that little thing we call Time. lol. i mean, keeping in contact with friends is great. but you can't possibly be BFF's with everybody. so keep the close friends on speed dial, the decent friends on AIM, and everyone else on a blue moon.
now BACK to homework and partying!

Punishment = No Facebook?
After a series of unfortunate incidents culminating in the towing of my car and the mandatory payment of a class I didn't even complete, I've decide to punish myself. It's a firm penalty that I hope to adhere to through self-control and the strong urge to become sharper.
For 3-months starting today, June 18, 2009, I am disallowing myself from:
(1) Drinking
(2) Smoking
Apparently I have a party coming up on the 25th, so I'm leaving my Facebook up to invite friends to that AND LUL & OPB's 3rd Annual Greek Unity BBQ. I honestly don't quite know if people will still get the invitations even though I deactivate the account. If I knew that they would, then I would do it now. But I'm not too sure that Facebook will send the invitation from a ghost. Nevertheless, when I find out for sure that people will still get it (or until June 25th, whichever comes sooner), then it will be
(3) Facebook
The "party" will be the first challenge, ideally, to #1. I mean if people go for me, they're theoretically gonna wanna buy me drinks, right? But I already got a solution for that:
Friend: "Johnny, lemme buy you a drink!"
Johnny (Option 1): "I'm not tryna drink, but buy one more for yourself and get messed up for me!"
Johnny (Option 2): "I'm not tryna drink, but hook my homie up with one for me. He/she has been a ryder in my college life, so both of y'all deserve it."
Johnny (Option 3): "Who the f*ck are you?!"
Yeah so I'm pretty much serious about this. The beast in me is starting to come out. I've vowed to get on my grind like it was in high school. And now that I'm older and wiser, more SEASONED as they say, it's gonna be a VERY interesting summer.
But yeah... the whole point of this post though is to publicly declare that if you have no other way of getting a hold of me besides Facebook, you suck and really don't belong in my life, but I'm nice and want to remember random people that I've met in my time at USC, so I haven't deleted you from my Facebook friends. I guess one positive of going off Facebook for a period of time is that you'll see who really wants to be around you. Even leaving a Facebook Wall comment doesn't constitute friendship (surprising I know). So people who want to be in touch will do it in a form aside from Facebook.
That's that. As a punishment for my crimes, I'm taking away things that I "like to do". In old-fashioned parental style, I'm grounded from my hobbies. Lol.
