No, I really mean it.  I'm done with Facebook.  I'll keep the account up so I can visit and comment on Jen's page, but I'm done with either creating new posts on my own wall or reading the news feed.  It's actually something that needed to happen.  Too much of my social life had become wrapped up in a website, rather than actual socializing.  The act of visiting a friend had deteriorated to a mere click of the "Like" button on something they'd written, just to acknowledge to them that I'm still aware they exist.  That's no way to conduct a friendship.

 Apparently, though, there is a handful of people who enjoy my WTF photos, absurd musings, and children-say-the-darndest-things moments.  So fear not, dear readers, they shall continue.  I will not go gently into that good night!  It's time to screw Facebook and resurrect the blog.  For too long it has lain dormant, and it's no coincidence that its hibernation began the second I got sucked into the FB black hole.

So here's a little exchange between Evan and I the other night...

Evan: Do you have any brothers?
Me: Yeah, I have one.
Evan: Is it Todd?
Me: No, Todd is just my best friend.
Evan: Why?
Me: I ask myself that same question every day.
