An Eagles View: Facebook=Crack

One can only imagine this addictive personality as I gave into the temptation that is Facebook. I have come to the conclusion that Facebook=Crack *Tappin' the vein and reachin' for the mouse -click -click*.

With each long lost friend found, a high is reached. Only to discover that it is met with a new low that sends me to the 'Friend Finder' to search out others. I stood my ground for as long as I could, but there is no fight left in me. For the first few weeks (since I last mentioned FB, here at An Eagles View), I've been in, then out. I've activated and then de-activated my account. As of now, I'm in. I am now a Facebooker.

I still think its quirky, and I don't quite get it. I view it as a twitter like substance on steroids.. with pictures. Because of this, I dumped my twitter account. Who needs to Tweet when you can FB. Seriously?!

I do how ever miss the creativity that my blog allows me. Its hard for me to really express myself with no pictures and a 4"x4" box asking me 'whats on your mind'. Its kind of like being pushed on to a stage with a squealing mic. I'm not quite feelin all of that -yet.

I'm sure the new-ness <--is that a word, will wear off and I will find myself searching for an appropriate rehab. Until then, I'm off to find some runners to deal this drug to. *Interesting Article*

What I'm Doing Here...

I blog for so many reasons. This started as your typical 'Mommy Blog' but quickly evolved into so much more. I blog to stay sane, document our days and to express myself.

I like to claim this as my little corner of the blogosphere. A safe place for me to share my story, my boys and their crazy antics, our adventures as a family and the odd occurrences of our household.

I'm grateful for all of you that support my ramblings -on a daily basis- and welcome those of you visiting for the first time. Its my hope that you come and sit a while; that we may have a chance to get to know each other.

Erin , 01 April, 2009 18:12: I was telling my friends yesterday that I waste all of my "extra" time blogging, I don't have time to waste on Facebook! But I'm glad you are having so much fun!
Dawn Parsons Smith , 01 April, 2009 18:24: I know lots of people being drawn in by Facebook these days! I have an account but have done absolutely nothing with it! I am too overwhelmed with everything else!

(I love the whole squealing mic thingy! lol!)
Anonymous , 01 April, 2009 18:46: That's funny because I feel the opposite way. If an old friend contacted me via facebook, I'd have to shoot up just to get over the fact I had been contacted.
Lee , 01 April, 2009 19:22: See, and I prefer myspace. It's easier to maneuver.
Facebook is just 50 kinds of complicated.
Leslie , 01 April, 2009 20:22: I can only handle one addiction at a time....
Anonymous , 01 April, 2009 20:31: Oh tell me about it, it is very addicting just like blogging ;)
Kristina P. , 01 April, 2009 22:26: I was just talking to my friend tonight about how I really prefer FB. I only check my account about once a week.
Unknown , 01 April, 2009 22:37: Love my Facebook, and some days are more addicting than others, but nothing will replace my blog. It will just one day, I'm sure, but Facebook is great. After your established it settles down and is not quite the consuption it tends to be in the early stages!
Ginny , 02 April, 2009 00:43: awwhhhhh nice to see you have come to the dark side!
Donna , 02 April, 2009 07:47: Facebook is fun! I like it a lot. It is addictive at first, but for me that mostly faded and now it's just kind of fun when I go on. I think it's so funny that you've given in to the temptation and joined. I'm going to have to find you and friend you!
Jo , 02 April, 2009 07:50: I love Facebook. I like the bits and pieces and randomness of the updates. I love the chat box! I LOVE Mousehunt!
Anonymous , 02 April, 2009 12:16: I'm on Facebook, but since it's blocked at work I don't get on as much. It's daunting to catch up when I get home.
Fiauna , 02 April, 2009 21:25: Blogging is the pure stuff--the really good stuff. Facebook is the cheap stuff you get from the corner dealer.
Elisa , 03 April, 2009 10:07: I like Fiauna's comment. Ditto.
Country Mouse, City Mouse , 08 April, 2009 19:15: I am not on Facebook, but I know many are. Have fun!
