Upon waking up every morning, I usually check my iphone for text messages, important emails, and any other notifications that I may have received. However, one more thing I find myself obligated to check is Facebook. Let's face it, anyone who doesn't have a Facebook in this day and age might as well not exist. I keep my Facebook for social obligations, to keep in touch with "old friends" and to make sure that I'm up to date with all the buzz. But lately, I've been feeling as though my status updates are made more so to keep appearances up for the sake of reminding my 300+ Facebook friends that I'm still alive somewhere, than they are for the sake of my enjoying 'blogging' my personal thoughts.
I mean, don't get me wrong. I used to be all about Farmland and Island Farm and all those other crazy game apps back in highschool. I can even remember kids discussing such things in class. But surely my virtual crops are suffering because I haven't played those stupid games in years now. Again, I just feel like those silly things are a burden.
Perhaps I'm just getting older, or perhaps Facebook has started to feel the way Myspace did before everyone jumped the internet ship. But either way, I'm beginning to care less and less about this website that's pretty much been deemed a necessity by our entire American culture.
