Facebook Fast Day 1

          Ok so first, I would like to start out with my thoughts about the Superbowl and its commercials. 

                                                                                

In a nutshell, I thought that was one of the most boring games I have ever seen, and the commercials were horrible. Yes, there were a few decent ones, but most of them were ridiculous and not funny at all. The game was just frustrating. I wanted to jump off the couch with excitement about Greenbay's epicness, but in all honesty I thought it was sooooo boring. There were moments when I was screaming at the TV but mostly because I was so frustrated at how bad Greenbay was doing in the third quarter. The fourth quarter was better, but not exciting. All in all, although I was happy about Greenbay's victory, I was very disappointed at how not exciting this game was. 

Now on to Day One of my Facebook Fast. So this is how my day usually goes. I wake up, check facebook really quick, get ready, check facebook and go to class. Then I get back from class, check facebook, hang out with James (my boyfriend) and check facebook sometime during that hanging out stage, and work out. Then I come back, check facebook, take a shower, check facebook, hang out with friends, check facebook, do homework while another tab for facebook is open, finish up, do absolutely nothing on facebook, then go to bed. It all starts over the next day. 

Well, it was very different today. I woke up, and got ready then went to class. I didn't realize til today how much time I had in my mornings when facebook isn't involved. Then I went to class, went to pick up my best friend Joan, came back and hung out with James, took a nap, woke up, worked out, took a shower, and now it's in the evening and I am writing this blog. I SERIOUSLY had so much time on my hands today, and I came to the huge realization of how much time facebook took in my daily life. 

I'm trying to remember and go back to things that I did before facebook. I read a lot, but I know that I can read a lot more now that facebook isn't in the picture. I also wrote a TON. I really haven't sat down and written out of my own accord for a very very long time. I have already came up with a good story idea that I'm really exited about, and now I will have time to write just for the fact that I want to. 

It doesn't help, however, when James is sitting next to me and tell me that a couple friends of mine have slammed my facebook profile, that I will have a ton to check when I get back on facebook, and then offers to show me my profile. This whole thing has just started and I've already been tempted. I really really really wanted to see it, because the people who slammed my facebook are pretty hilarious and I know that they would have put up some pretty witty comments. Well at least I have something to look forward to :) 

A month seems like a long time to me right now. But I know that I have the strength to keep this up. I also think that as time goes on, my blogs will be less about my addiction with facebook and more about life.
