I’ve been having second thoughts about Facebook lately. Not that I necessarily think that there is anything wrong with it. I have begun to have reservations that my time spent fooling around with Facebook could be better spent writing.

I have to admit, I’ve considered Facebook sucide. However, I do have a few relatives and old friends who I have reconnected with on Facebook. If not for Facebook, we’d probably continue to ignore each other like we have done for all the years leading up to Facebook. Besides, how else will I know they got a new Farmville widget. (Just kidding, those Facebook “applications” have nearly driven me off Facebook a time or two.)

Instead, I’ve decided to take the less drastic approach and cull my “Friends” list on Facebook. In fact, I went from over 100 “Friends” and am now down to thirty something. I even went as far as deleting the Facebook app from my iPhone.

If you have suddenly found yourself unfriended by me, it’s nothing personal. I just don’t need the distraction. If we’re still on each other’s “Friends” list, don’t be surprised if I’m not on Facebook quite as much. Also, don’t get a big head about still being on my list. I could still pull the pin on the Facebook grenade and walk away.
