NO GOD DAMN IT STOP
Felt a bit more intense than I thought.
So I did it ahead of schedule. There's actually a movement around April 1st, for people getting rid of their facebooks. But I didn't want to wait. I feel alot better now that it is done. But it did feel quite a bit like standing on top of a very tall building and getting ready to repel down. Saying goodbye to facebook. To...15 years worth of networking. Nearly 600 contacts. I did save everything and I linked alot of people to here, as well as made sure people had my phone number. Left my phone number up for three days. Warned people at the beginning of the month that this was my line of thought.
They Are Fighting Back Again
They Are Fighting Back Again
Facebook, man. I said the other day that I wasn’t missing it anymore and they were no longer trying to manipulate me into coming back to the social media teat. That was true at the time but not any more. They are pushing back in a big way. I have received notifications emails from them three times in the last four days. Wow, desperate much? It’s over.

Well… this morning I did. For about one minute. I put the app on my iPad, logged in, gave the screen one scroll, and logged out and deleted the app again. I didn’t even read anything. My eyes were looking…

There’s a part of me that wants to just say duck* it and install the Facebook app on my iPhone and see what’s going on in the old guitar gear groups. Yeah… weak. *I thought it would be funny to purposely use the word duck, which we all know is autocorrect’s…

Gone for Good?
I just installed the Facebook app on my iPad, left a super lame goodbye post, and deleted the app again. The anti-Facebook crusade part deux is officially underway! Oh, and of the 106 notifications, exactly one was actually for me. No one there will even notice I’m gone. So long, bookfayce!

One Month
Today at a little before 2:00 (the end of my lunch break) will mark one month since I started my personal anti-facebook crusade. How many of you fine people have jumped on my little spartacus wagon and left with me. I’ll wait a second for you all to sound off. (insert sound of crickets chirping here) Anyway, At some point tonight I may pop in and actually tell everyone there that I’m pissing…
