and Facing the future. So I am here in the Twin Cities metro for some family time and a chance to overindulge on Turkey and Stuffing. I should be working, but I am having a little trouble staying off of Facebook and concentrating on the tasks at hand. I am afraid to say that my mind is already checked out on holiday. So maybe I can do a little braindrain here so that I can get back to w3rk.
I just got back from having lunch with a high school friend who lives out near my parents. It was nice to catch up, but our conversation and all of this Facebook stuff has me trying to figure out how much I want to stay in touch with some of these folks from my past. I mean even though some of these people I am interested to keep up with, honestly I do a pretty poor job of even keeping up with my present day friends and this blog for that matter. Friendship is an important part of my life (especially for such a social cat as myself), but at what point does one cut the cord? Certainly some of my friends have no interest in looking back. I feel like I am much less interested in looking back as well, but does that mean that I can’t afford a few minutes from time to time to post some comments on someone’s Facebook wall? Maybe at some point I will reach some equilibrium with this thing, but honestly until this week I have not even been on my Facebook profile for like a month.
I suppose the conflict I feel from Facebook is that it forces me to ask questions of who I am and what I want out of life.
