So I started a post yesterday that I still need to add pictures to, but I have misplaced the "thingy" (that's right, I call it a thingy) one uses to upload pictures to the computer. I will find it tonight.
But I have been thinking......to facebook or not to facebook?? This is probably such a silly post for most of you, but I can't decide whether or not to start a facebook page, so I am opening it up to you all. I have held out this long from not having a facebook account, but some of you probably already know I get my "facebook fix" by using Brian's.
Here's the thing. I have reconnected to a lot of people I miss through Brian's facebook and every time I want to post something on their wall I need to end it with "love, al" so people know it is me and not Brian. And it is just getting annoying. And let's face it, a ton of information is communicated through fb. So why am I still holding out?? Because.....I don't want to be the "mean one" who doesn't particularly want to "add a friend," but we all know there are those friend requests that come along. And let me clarify. Those I am not so keen on adding (who could potentially ask) are ones that in some way or another upset me in my lifetime. And I am not talking close friends. How can I explain it....hmmm...for example, it could be people that hurt your feelings in high school that you never forgot about. (and you are probably thinking my delimma here is quite "high school-ish.) ha ha. Anyhow I think to myself - they don't need to know anything about my personal life. Which is why I have a blog, so do I need facebook?
Some of you will get this post and think it is quite ridiculous, but I am hoping others will totally get what I am talking about. Time to chime in.
Love the new background!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Al! I totally get what you mean. Sometimes I get friend requests on FB and I'm like, hmmmm....I really don't want to friend this person. But then I feel like I have to or else I look like a big ol' meany. However, that said...FB is a great way to stay connected (you know that) with people you DO want to stay connected with. So, I decided I don't care what people think of me anymore (for the most part). And on the totally rare chance that I might run into someone face-to-face that I declined a friend request to, I'm quite certain they won't say anything about to me anyway, and if they did? Well, I'd just tell them I like to just limit my FB friends to really close friends and family. 'nough said. ;) I think if you think FB will connect you better to people you WANT to connect with, I definitely think you should open a page. Don't let those few other people control what you do.
ReplyDeleteLet me know if you start a FB page and we can "friend" each other. Unless I am one of the meany's from high school that you are referring to.... haha. I hope not! ;)
oh my goodness Jackie - you are so not one of those people. You know you and I go way back - what up Lourdes! ha ha :)
