A lot of you are first time viewers, some of you are long time customers. Some of you are generally interested in what I have to say, and some of you are just being nosey and want to know what I’m doing.
The most important question that some of you may have is why I left Facebook. Well, I’ll try to explain it without getting to personal.
I started hanging out on Myspace first. Then I migrated to Facebook. At first I hated it and then grew to love. I actually used it as a networking website! I found people that I hadn’t seen in almost 15 years. I laughed, I joked, I had fun. I updated my status daily more than most people change their draws in a week. I posted notes and sometimes people read them, sometimes they didn’t. I even had people beg me to create this here blog. And of course, I did.
But it got to a point when FB wasn’t fun anymore. It became a internet forum for drama, petty shit, dumb shit, and other shit. And no matter what you say, there will always be drama when too many people are around each other. I’m not innocent. I started drama, I participated and I also ended some. FB beef is by the silliest beef their ever was. But it makes me laugh and keeps me entertained. Ya’ll know how much I love pork so it’s nothing for me to HAM….
But it was just too much for me. Too much dumb shit and not enough positive shit. I could post a positive status and maybe 3 people would like it. But if I post something about my hatred for Halle “I can’t keep a man” Berry then I’d get 72 comments, 85 likes and a few inboxes asking me why I’m hating. I would post notes and wonder if anybody read them. I would pour my heart out on this computer screen and only get responses from the people that I talk to on the phone every day. If I wanted that reaction then I would simply post on this blog that nobody reads. I used FB as a forum because I wanted to be able to reach a large amount of people at once. But it appears that I didn’t reach anyone. So why work hard to make my voice heard when everyone is deaf? So I left….
That’s the first reason why.
The second reason is a slightly more complex.
Sometimes I would post statuses based on something in my life but I would send subliminal messages to make the situations seem hypothetical. This isn’t a new form of communication and I’m not the only person who does this. However,…well, there is no however. It’s some punk shit to do and I’m the first to admit it. When someone starts of a status with “Some people…” they really mean “This specific person.” Yet, we don’t do that. We don’t want to broadcast our business in the streets but we still want to update FB to show that person we are talking how we feel . And we know they will see it. And we also know that everybody else will see it. And then we deal with the status comments of other “friends” co-signing on our thoughts or asking “Dang, who you mad at?” But of course, we still won’t fess up and say what the real problem is. We hide behind our screen names and our computer screens rather than working to fix the actual issue. We are cowards. And we know it. But nobody wants to change it.
Well, I did.
I left FB.
Thats exactly why i left... This is so real
