An end to social networking.....

Social networks are great and awful all at the same time. Great for keeping in contact with friends and family, but a pain sometimes. In the past few years I have gone through fazes and tend to disable my account and re-enable it when I miss it. Not everyone on my "friends" list is a close friend I would be willing to share my life happenings, and so I find myself filtering out who can see what by putting people into groups. It's time consuming and a pain to maintain, did I mention it's time consuming?!?!?! Another issue is when friends or coworkers tag you in photos where I look like a fat cow or about to have a seizure from the flash. I don't photograph well and at this stage in life don't think I will get the hang of having my picture taken. It has been a life struggle since childhood to have me take a normal picture. My mind and facial muscles just don't seem to be coordinated enough to be able to function together. For the record I'll blame it on the flash. Needless to say for now I have disabled my account and have not plans for now to reactivate for awhile. Those people who really do matter or care to reach out to me will already have a means by which to reach me. For now I will revel in the silence of being disconnected.
