Why here?

So, you might ask, why don’t I write this self absorbed drivel in Facebook like everyone else?
A good question, but I like the detachment of a blog. While I suspect people might read this stuff – I am really writing it for me. If I have readers, they are for the most part anonymous. If someone comes across this stuff they have to be looking for it. If I write something in Facebook it gets pushed to everyone’s home page. In the Facebook world everyone writes for their audience, and typically that audience responds. If I posted this stuff there, I would get all sorts of people saying “I Like This” and then probably sending me free farm animals for some silly game to assuage my mood
I think Facebook has its place, but my biggest complaint is that all friends are equal. I don’t mind sharing stuff with some people but, I don’t really need to include someone from high school that I no longer remember. I don’t think I am alone in this. When I read the stuff that gets posted these days 95% is at best cute but more often annoying and the rest is usually stuff I would just rather not know.
