Goodbye Procastination, Goodbye Facebook













.



How can one man invent the ultimate procrastination site?  By creating facebook that's how. So I officially deactivated my facebook account and it's really ironic how you can log in again - as if to say that you can't stay away from it - Not really anyways. Anything that can be deactivated can by all means be reactivated. I have seriously fallen behind in course work in the past over this. Staring for 5 hours straight at your drunk and disorderly friend's pictures, disgusted but secretly envying their free time whilst you sit there trying to do work. Or just cruising through people's profiles whom you've never seen before but just so happens to be on you ever expanding friend's list; which is so long you could have sworn it was Myspace. Once upon a time it was so cool to be on Facebook, it was the Adult social networking site to which everyone was strictly forbidden. You and a couple of friends on Facebook while the rest of your friends were on Myspace, Bebo or Hi5.
But as I mentioned that was 'Once upon a time'. Now status updates from twelve year olds expressing their broken hearts through sorry soppy love songs such as "I Will Always Love You" by You Know Who, really "Does Your Head-in" and those same twelve year olds who t@LK L!K3 tHi$'  kinda makes you wonder why on earth they're on your friends list... Even if they are you little cousins. Oh and of course not to forget the indirect hate comments posted on people's walls which is always always ALWAYS aimed at someone on their friends list but are too chicken to call them out. In addition you never really realize how annoying someone is until you're news feed is filled with crap like a freaking Twitter website.
So until my desire to do absolutely nothing but peer at people's pictures kicks in again - I'm jumping off the bandwagon... until further notice that is.

P.S: I wonder how long until the Twitter and Facebook hype dies and another social networking site - After all no one ever thought Myspace would die.

R.I.P Facebook in advance

I'm not gone

I promise you that.





I don't think I wanna be 18 anymore... To think of it I was never looking forward to it anyway. The day after I turned 18 I got a letter from all these different banks telling me about Mortgages and loans and... get this, "Preparing for your child's future" wth? I'm 18, no job barely making it through college and you think I'm paying these bills and raising kids? I understand this situation is very much real for some people but for me, wow it's a bit of a shock. Makes me say Thank YOU Lord for provision through my mum... Then I get another letter from my bank saying that I have an overdraft of £6 so they were gonna charge me £25, my jaw dropped - I'll tell you what I did I went over to Santander Bank and said to them. I'm not paying... Cut a very long story short I didn't pay and they let me of for it. But anyways this just made think like wow, I'm responsible, not the "My mum went away for the weekend so I'm watching my little sisters" kind of responsible. But a more "If I mess my life up, mum isn't gonna come and mop up the spillages"  If that makes sense. I kind of feel indifferent about this whole turning 18 thing (I'm still 12 at heart lol) But then again I'm scared, If God permits; I'll be heading off to University this year and I think that is when everything is going to kick in. I take too much for granted and maybe turning 18 has reminded me that. Either way it's a long road ahead... Jesus take the wheel.

Hello adulthood.
