Its Been a While...

Sorry its been so long. I tend to be an inward thinker, so for me to put thoughts down on a page is sometimes a foreign idea for my body. I'm trying to be better at posting, its good for my sanity, but its definitely a work in progress.

I did it. I deleted my Facebook account. The following is an account of why in the world I would do such a thing:

• It takes up too much of my precious time.
• I'm tired of putting effort into Facebook to get to know people who I either don't know very well, want to keep in touch with for sentimental reasons, or I know only because of what their profile says.
• Its making a generation of shallow relationships.
• One of my teachers made this point in class a few weeks back, and it makes way too much sense. Facebook allows us to know each other based on what we do from day to day, and by what we like or dislike. I won't lie: this is great. But at the same time, we, as a whole, are becoming immune to what we used to know as relationships full of depth. I, for one, don't want my relationships to become shallow, and I have realized that I prefer to "like" something with words and not the click of a mouse button.
• Mark Zuckerberg annoys me.
• Recently, I watched "Social Networking." Well done movie, but I despise docu-dramas because the audience can't quite tell the difference between truth and twisted truth. Anywho, watching the movie made me realize: by using Facebook, we are stuck into the world of a 19 year old college freshman's ideas of how people should relate. Now, granted, I am a 19 year old college freshman. But at the same time, I also enjoy leaving my dorm room and talking to real people about real issues.

It was a tough choice for me, but I feel that its for the best. I was possibly one of Facebook's biggest supporters up until recent, and now I won't be able to use it at all. I would encourage anyone to do it, because I wish that we could all enjoy time together away from the computer screens every once in a while. I still would love to keep in contact with everyone, but my email, andersondonaldm@gmail.com, is now the preferable source.

Life is going pretty well. God has continued to come through for me in many ways, and I have many opportunities coming up in the next few weeks that will make me decide on different plans for next year. I would love some prayers for decision making, and I'll let you know on here how things pan out...
