Back to the blog
I haven’t written anything here in over a year. I’ve been doing that over on Facebook. Now I’m getting sick of Facebook’s ever increasing desire to make my private things public. I’ll be killing off my Facebook account in the next month and letting all my friends know where they can keep up with me if they care to. If they don’t, they don’t need to visit.
I’ve always kept my ‘friend’ list on Facebook small. My rule has been ‘if I haven’t talked to you in person in the last year then you really aren’t my friend and I’m not going to ‘friend’ you.’ I have under 50 friends over there and could probably pare that down even more.
Anyone I care to keep in contact with knows where this blog is. Yeah, I’ll miss out on the informative ‘Visit me in Farmville’ and ‘Join my mafia’ invites. I know I’ll miss things here in there I might really care about but if it means I have to give up control of my privacy to see them I don’t really think it’s worth it.
So in 2 weeks I’ll ask Facebook to nuke my account and 2 weeks after that they’ll actually do it. Like how that works? You ask to nuke your account and they hold onto it for 14 days ‘just-in-case’ you want to come back. A nuke means everything I’ve ever posted to Facebook will disappear. Images, comments, wall posts. Everything.
If you want to continue to keep up with me I’ll still use Twitter, username TriggerTX and this blog. Images will go into my galleries here like they always have.
