Life without Facebook.

Have you ever read a Facebook post so dumb, so irresponsible, so incomprehensibly terrible that you instinctively throw the screen you read it on against a brick wall?  No? Neither had I, but based on several posts of lesser stupidity, I knew the day would be inevitable.  So what action did I take?  I did what any noble American would do and blamed the issue squarely on Obama.

Oh wait, no, I deactivated my Facebook account, confident that the stupidity could haunt me no more.  But alas, my withdrawals began, and I am here to give my account of life.... without Facebook.

Day 1: I deactivate my account, and head over to IGN.com for the latest gaming and movie news.  After reading a couple articles, my fingers inexplicably enter Facebook.com into the address bar.  I realize I am no longer on Facebook.

Day 2: I have a dozen thoughts which would make great Facebook posts.  I am no longer on Facebook.

Day 7: I take a picture of my burger.  It's at this point I realize it may be a good thing I am no longer on Facebook.

Day 32: For the first time ever, I start a Blog.

Day 33: For the first time ever, I am on Twitter.

Day 34: For the first time ever, I am on Reddit.

Day 62: A friend of mine celebrates 100 days of Sobriety.  I joke that I have been sober for 62 days.  My friend is not amused.

Day 75: I am keenly aware I will one day be back on Facebook.

8 months in: I wonder what the rest of the world is up to.

One Year: I was going to post about it on Facebook, but that'd be counterintuitive.
