:::......[[ooo]].......::::

The days are getting longer and the sun is shinning brighter. Summer's round the corner and my hearts getting lighter. "I rhyme am well" just like M.I. Lol. If you don't understand you need to elevate your P and educate yourself bout M.I., kay? He's actually performing today in London...and I'm just confirming that I'm there in the spirit. lol

Thank you for the comments on my last post. Really thank you so much made me smile and made my heart all warm n fuzzy. :-)

So, I'm sure you guys are all aware of the recent changes to facebook...I absolutely hate it! Like evrybody's business is own your home page, every single wall message and what not. Apparently they're trying to copy Twitter with the whole "whats on your mind" thing mschew! Can they not just stay true to the tried and tested one we all loved? Have they never heard of if it's not broke, don't fix it??!

Ok, now my rant is over :-) Very similar to the statuses that kept cropping up on my home page after they made the changes yesterday. You can see how passionate peole are about their precious facebook. I know i am one of them as well. I've been trying to fight facebook though, and blogs as well. The amount of time I spend reading people's blogs and being on facebook is just ridiculous. So i gave them both up for lent for a day... that counts right? lol. i know just one day, 24 hrs but boy it was tough!

I found this article on yahoo: Get off facebook and get a life! very apt title. Basically it says that too much time being sent on social networking sites can lead to alterations in our genes which may have health risks and also affect our ability to communicate effectively with each other. Hmm

I know people who have deactivated their facebook accounts or who never had it and I think "Wow! How can you exist without facebook?" (Ok thats a bit extreme) But basically the whole facebook phenomena has changed a lot of things about our world. Talk about never getting out of touch with people. Old school peeps that you thought you would never see again suddenly pop up with friend requests. Some times, I think its a bit too much cuz you cannot keep carrying everyone you've known all your life along with you. So selective friend approval is key espeacially now with this new format that everyone can see what you're doing. Less dramatically you can just limit your profile etc.

Nyways, what are your thoughts peeps. To facebook or not to facebook? Are you a facebook addict, or used to be and conquered it?

I don't like the new facebook either. Like everyone's business is just out there. I think I need to 'get a life' and find other ways to communicate with people.

ya not feeling the new setup ....facebook is always trying to hard to fix things that DOnt actually need fixing. If they want to fix something, they should work on adding an "invisible" feature on fb chat so u can properly avoid talking to random ass ppl, sometimes i can't believe that fb didnt figure out that mess before adding chat. and also,

they should add a blocker so ppl ccan't just tag you to things anyhow....ppl tagging u to shit u dont even know about or rather don't even wanna be associated with...what is that mess about. and one last thing.

What the fuck is "threadS" i have random ass ppl i dont even know sending me shit to my inbox about conversations i apparently didnt know me and them were having. and there is no way to unattach yourself from the thread...the whole time, am going " WTF" ....why i am attached to this thread, i don't even know you or what you are going on about....hisss....

Faceboook just does too much sometimes...what the hell. plus it is so fucking slow no cuz of all this bloody traffic, it took me a whole fucking day to figure out where the hell shit were newly placed.....but come to think of it, all this their "confusion" has made me less addicted to that "winch" of a site. now i can do better things with my time like twittering....j/k.lol
