Facebook and Me

Lately, I've been thinking real hard about this whole Facebook thing. About how I interact with it and how it "supposed" to interact with me. I think I got caught up on the whole "I need friends and I need them now!!!" type of thinking. Looking at some of my "friends" in my friends list, I've noticed that some have over 200 some even in the 300's... why? Do you really know ALL those people and do they even really know you? I know I'm on some of those peoples friends list just as a number, 300 people... how do you even keep track? I have 70+ and I couldn't even tell you whom most of those people are/were or how often I've written on their walls or checked out their pictures if any were posted in a while.
I've also thought about how I interact with the people closest to me and how easy it was to just send a message here or there and find that I don't really get much in return except the odd wall-to-wall post or a message here or there. I do agree though, that it's an easy way to keep in touch and if pictures are there, easy to post and easy to view. Although I do find that, the people on my friends list that I contact most of the time are someone I would call to see how their doing or someone who messages me quite a bit.
I will be doing a half decent purge here right quick because... I just don't know who some of the people are anymore. I don't associate with them, nor do I even... I'm not going to say care but, I don't talk to them, I don't show any interest as to how their doing, even though I'm sure their doing OK but it's been so long with some of these people that I don't know who they are anymore as some of them... it's been almost 5 years since I've seen some of them.
There's another reason I bring this up. My interest in Facebook itself is starting to diminish. I've had my fun with it, done my time and I think, like some of the very few friends, will contemplate cutting my account all together. Although very drastic, I doubt that will happen, there are still some people that I converse with and I like to share some of the photo's that I rarely put up on there. I'm also finding that I rush home to play a few applications and a few games on there but the funny thing is... I don't really care. That's not the reason why I'm on Facebook really, and it's not what I want to do on there anymore. Hence again for a big purge.
So, I share this blog with my Facebook account, so if you get to read this, consider yourself lucky enough to read it as you've made my cut...lol And I'm sure when I've gotten rid of some of my Facebook applications, my computer usage will almost be cut in half.
I guess, even though I like my cell phone and I like the Internet connection... I'm almost just not that interested in being all that connected anymore. My life has changed for the better, and I'm tired of just spending time on this blasted thing now and not doing like... chores in the house. It's stuff I'll get figured out.
