Oh well. I don't have much for them to take from me! And they aren't getting my sarcastic attitude, which seems to be my greatest asset sometimes.<br /><br />Blogging is DEFINITELY different. There are so many types of blogs out there, and many of them are educational. Everything is what you make of it, but my opinion on facebook is that it is too easy to get sucked into embarrassing yourself amongst everyone you've ever known in your life. I've also seen many relationships destroyed there, and not just marital ones. I don't want that to happen to me. I know my limits, and I need to respect them, as hard as that can be.<br /><br />These issues don't come up with blogging. I can write my heart out and not care who reads it, because I'm really only doing this to leave to my kids. There is no ego involved. But facebook is like a high school reunion on the distance plan. Everyone wants to look good. There's more false bragging and posturing than I can stand anymore.<br /><br />Then there are the people that are all about complaining and crying about how bad their lives are. I'm a compassionate person, but that gets old too.<br /><br />I think that, overall, the constant inundation of people's thoughts that show up on the facebook home page are just driving me a little batty. With blogging, you can choose to go to someone's web page or not. What I said to my friends on facebook is that it has become information overload.<br /><br />I certainly appreciate that you read my blog and leave comments! Inspiration is definitely the right word to describe what reading other blogs means to me, including yours :)Clementine Moonflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047439044788435017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702426358653652245.post-57118134475364933162010-01-14T23:02:01.395-06:002010-01-14T23:02:01.395-06:00Boy, am I glad I read this post before I made the ...Boy, am I glad I read this post before I made the awful decision to join Facebook. Do you think blogging is different somehow? It's easy to get sucked into spending hours reading and commenting on blogs. But then I get so much out of it, way more than just entertainment. Inspiration, perhaps? And I hope that I give at least as much as I get.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.com
