While I was checking through my Dashboard this afternoon, I realized that I haven't been on the internet for freaking ages so I decided to make a few changes to my life on the web. The World Wide Web has so many things to offer, from entertainment to educational purposes, shopping or news and current affairs + so much more and I was using only two of them; Shopping and entertainment (Facebook and Youtube). My first maneuver would probably be the hardest to maintain (and the biggest change) -scratch that- WILL be the hardest to maintain. But having said that, I've got the power (and so does everyone else) to try. So here it is...
I deactivated my Facebook account.
Yep. I went there girlfriend!
I figured that the only reason I'm ever on the web was to check my notifications, inbox messages or friend requests. Most of the time I'd be on Facebook all day and have absolutely shit all to do, but for some spastic reason, I'd still be logged in. It was a waste of precious study time, family time and time to go out and see my friends in human form and to me, they were legitimate enough reasons to stop this social addiction. I have a strong feeling that a lot of people will get ridiculously attached to Facebook in a way that they feel life without it is nothing. No job, no friends, no entertainment, no awareness of current events, nothing. I certainly don't want to be solemnly dependent on an internet social network, even if it is global.
This also gives me more time to check my more important accounts like Hotmail, G-mail and Shopbop.
The second change I made wasn't as drastic as the first one but it did the job. After many years of disuse, I finally deleted my Myspace account. Until yesterday I forgot it even existed! So yeah that got rid of a lot of junk mail that looked so retarded. When I'd check my Hotmail I'd see things like;
("<3 I love you babe, you are the one 3/2/2007) Amanda was ere hacked by the most awesomest person ever!!!!!!!- i LoVe YoU hUgH A&f- Has written a comment on your photo."
It gave me a headache. But now I won't have to worry about that sort of thing anymore so I can put the aspirin away woooh!!

So everyone should be expecting a lot more text messages and blog entries and a heap less of Tagged photos and Inbox's.
That is all for now, speak to you guys soon ;)
Adios Amigos, Keep on stuttin'!
