Conclusion (for now)

Well folks, it's been a little over a month without being on facebook. And I'm choosing to re-activate my account. The explanation is pretty simple. Watch as I make it more profound than it really is!

So, I started this whole facebooklessness with the feeling that too much of a part of me had become consumed by my online persona. Same guy, just animated and communicated in a different way via stati, sharing links, etc. So, I had enough of it and turned it off. The month that has passed has given me some insight as to what Facebook is and what it means to our lives.

Basically, it's 2011. I was born in 1981. I turn 30 at the end of the year. I've always adapted well to new technology. It's part of what makes me good at my job today. But the "organic" part of me is a bit perplexed by this online way of socializing. I've run with it for years, but maybe in my own time I managed to realize how "inorganic" or just straight up chemical it all started to feel. And that will never leave me. I remember the time when everything occurred offline. And everything worked out just fine. Segway to my conclusion.

Everything worked out just fine back then. And everything will work out just fine now and in the future. The difference is that we have this capability to be connected almost constantly (if we so choose). The thing about Facebook that I miss more than anything are the people that I care for, but are off in the world somewhere, if not even in my own town, that I never see, but I still like knowing that everything is working out for them. I can only hope people feel that way about me. So, I'm getting back on to rejoin the 21st Century, the people I know, and to let those people know that I am still alive and kicking doing the best I can.

Poke me or something....
