Speaking Of The Devil...

I think I may have given Face Book a bad rap.
Upon further introspection, I have come to the conclusion that it is a tool which can be used to find old friends, boost egos, keep in touch, and fuel the fires of nostalgia.
It's a FUN tool.
But as of late, for me, that tool has wriggled into the daily/nightly routine.
I was mistaking the fun tool being the bad part.
The problem I've been having is with the ROUTINE.
Every day has become a sort of cyclical chain of events.
Nothing different is happening.
By "different" I mean something that I probably wouldn't consider happening at all on that particular day.
A surprise if you will.
My lovely wife and I need a little bit of Something New happening every now and then to make the routine a bit less boring and unchanging.
So I offer this request to you my lovely wife, how about we commit to helping each other try something different on a regular basis.
Tonight I want to plan our trip and take a look at some old pictures of the boy and compare them to how he looks now.
...
Hm.
That wasn't very hard at all.
I wonder what's gonna be different about tomorrow?

EVIL!!!

Face Book is the Devil y'all.
Beazlebub
El Diablo
Satan
Old Nick
You see, my accusations are not unfounded.
Like the devil, Face Book (I'm splitting the name into two words to avoid any legal ramifications)
offers us friends, recognition, attention and various other things which appeal to our ids.
Time passes, and everything is peachy keen until, you decide to carry on with your life outside of Face Book.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
By this point, Face Book has its' clutches deep within you.
You find that you are unable to carry on a normal day without checking your profile at least 3, 4, 10 times a day.
You find that with EVERY Invitation, request, or gift you accept, your ability to decline said invitations, requests, and gifts becomes weakened twofold.
You find that your dependence upon/loathing of Face Book increases exponentially each time you log on (usually 3,4, 10 times a day).
Face Book is evil.
EVIL, I SAY!
And I can't finish this rant fast enough, because I want to see if anyone commented on my last post.
Peace.
