Snapchat the popular photo texting app thingy is now off my phone. It is a very big app in terms of space and I wasn’t using it much because I just couldn’t get into it. I will stick with the apps and services I tend to use more such as WordPress, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Tumblr.

While on vacation I will be taking a Facebook fast because it gives me stress and I don’t want that while I am trying to relax and get away from stuff. Don’t worry my friends I will be blogging and Tweeting so you can see what we are up to in Orlando. I will be signing off Facebook on all platforms sometime this evening and will sign back on sometime on Thursday. Thanks for being great followers and making my experience here a great one.
The world can be a very scary place. It’s magnified ten fold scary on Facebook. Thank goodness for blogging.
Over on Facebook they are celebrating “Friends Day” as a part of their 12th birthday observance. It got me to thinking about the friends I have had in my life and how much they were a part of getting me through different parts of my life.
I don’t have a “best friend” my wife is a friend but we think you can have a spouse and then have a “best friend” who are two different people. I am not sad about not having a “bestie” just because it might be good to have a wide variety of people in ones life.
For some reason in my life friendships have been temporal. I admit there are times when I think people don’t like me very well just because I am a bit on the odd side at times. Perhaps I need to like me more so others will. That is another discussion altogether.
Life-long friendships are inspiring and cool and to have them is a gift. Of course there are friendships that are based on situations of a moment and are there for a season. Also there are friendships that have ended because of reasons.
As we who are on Facebook celebrate this “Friends Day” I consider each of you who follows me a friend because we share blogging and the desire to connect with the world at large. We indeed are strangers only once as someone once said.
Thank you for being a friend…From The Golden Girls
I am back on Facebook as of tonight. I caved. I am ashamed a little. Really it’s hard to have a modern online life without it. Much of what I do relies upon it for work and that sort of thing. I need to be more disciplined and not get sucked into the negative stuff there. So if you are on Facebook friend me there at tonyburgess1969 .
Blogging is still my prefered platform for expression and communication with the masses. Blogger til I die!
Blogging is more fun than Facebook.
