Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!

Facebook 2 Week Challenge Day 1
Wednesday, May 06, 2009
Ok it's been six hours since I requested to permanently delete my facebook account. This is not the same as "deactivating" my account, which can be reversed at any time simply by logging in. If I can resist logging in for fourteen days, then my account will actually be deleted, supposedly, and if I want back into The Matrix after that I'll have to create whole new account and start inviting friends again.
Facebook is addictive as many of you know. More addictive than blogging, even. They know a large number of people won't be able to go the fourteen days.
Your facebook self is a zombie. It is not the real you.
I'm going to start looking for links to stories on the evils of facebook and add them to this post throoughout the day. It's a link brainstorm. If you have any to share, please do... *****
*Here's a post that discusses "facebook suicide" not as actual suicide by folks distraught by facebook, but rather about folks like me who have decided to walk away from it and "kill" the virtual "selves" they have created in The Matrix (Yes, I'll often be referring to facebook as "The Matrix.")
*Here's another on "facebook suicide" as the act of walking away from it. From Adbusters. Apparently this is common nomenclature for this occurrence.
*facebooksucks.com trys to re-direct you to facebook, but facebooksucks.org seems legit. I found this post there, that talks about that obvious double-entendre facebook encourages called "poking..."
"Look, let me get this out of the way immediately. Any time you poke another person - any time - it means you want to have sex with them.
This is particularly true if you are a man..."
*Here's where a wife's activities on facebook lead to an actual murder-suicide. That's really scary. I mean Jesus- Folks should always give divorce a chance, before going the murder suicide route, but this is an example of the evil power of The Matrix.
*Here's an example of a woman suffering because her husband won't stop flirting on facebook.
*Information on the ever growing privacy threat facebook poses to its users.
Facebook is amazing... in a few short years it has vaulted into the Pantheon of world-class time wasters... television, video games, Facebook. Each, of course, provides some real value, but the core impact of each is like that of religion back in Marx's time... opiates of the masses.
But what about PBS? Educational video games? Facebook petitions and fund-raisers? All lovely things, but all footnotes to the main thesis -- providing mostly inane entertainment for an empire on the decline.
How long after TV's birth did it take before we saw the first "Kill your Television" bumpersticker? I'll bet Facebook can beat that record too.
You're making a wise decision. The "its a great way to find people from your past" excuse is total BS. If they're that important, 1) you would have tried to find them , or 2) they would have tried to find you. Most people (not all) are Googlable. Really.
What I find hyper annoying about it now is that people have actually stopped communicating by email, because TimeSuckBook is "easier". This is all about how to be a low-grade extrovert, and a lazy one at that. If people are truly interested in "what I'm up to", they can ask. I need not assume anyone gives a shit. Blah blah blah.
Thank you Jonas and Anonymouses. I plan to stick with this for a while because there is a LOT not to like about facebook. The fact that it wastes time is just the tip of the iceberg. It can also destroy relationships, and it is a privacy nightmare. Look at what happened to Michael Phelps, for example.
Plus I like to have something to rail against. A conflict draws readers, so it's me against facebook.
Here's another reason to be bother by it. A friend TA's for a "digital media" course in the Media Studies dept. They talk alot about Google, Facebook, etc. Her kids expressed to her this widely depressing opinion: they're under the impression that because they sign a ton of petitions via FaceCrap, they are, and I'm quoting, "the most politically active generation, ever.".
Just like the other 6,779,394,542 other people world wide, I'll try to get by without your blog. You're far less significant than you believe you are. Farewell.

people on facebook are living in the past because it mostly helps you find people you knew a long time ago
