let your mind loose

facebook is cool and everything; great networking tool, get to look at pictures and shit that your friends post blah blah blah but it becomes a problem when it starts to put you down. without it, i don't give a shit about how anybody else is living their life- without it i'm perfectly content. though i know i'm better than this, sometimes after looking at what everybody else is doing with their lives, it makes me look at myself as though i'm not as cool (let's stick with 'cool') as these other people. wrong wrong wrong and i know this- honestly, they could be 100x cooler in actuality, but without facebook, this fact doesn't bother me at all. i'm thinking of giving it up, or at least just cutting back; check once a day instead of whenever i've got down time or whenever procrastination or boredom hits, or especially when i'm at work, sitting in front of a computer for hours at a time. it's such a good time filler and it's so convenient, but it's a black hole of mindless entertainment; nothing better to accent my point than this article i read from the daily minder last winter..

and no better song to accent my point than What They Do by The Roots
