Woes of a junkie


Blog / Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Ever wish you could just get away from something for good? Like it would make your life infinitely better if you did? When you first found it, you were happy, you discovered things that you never thought of before. Then came the moments of obsession. The ones where you cannot be without it. But things changed. Slowly, you worked yourself into hating it. Despising all the time you spent with it. Now you look for a way to leave it forever, to never have to worry about it again.

I am talking about my relationship with Facebook.

When I first signed up, it was good. The idea was a fresh take on similar sights gone sour. Now it is just clutter. What is worse, I do not think that I can function in society if I were to leave it forever. I would not get the invite to dinner with friends. I would be laughed at when I courted a girl already in a relationship. I would lose the poke war.

I read, or heard, a few months back that Facebook contributed for roughly 1% of all traffic on the internet. Whether this is accurate, I do not know but if it is…wow. That is a lot of photo viewing, a lot of Facebook stalking. Now I see new features to Facebook more and more often. However, the reliability of the site has gone down the drain. Half the time the page can’t be displayed. Methinks that Facebook should spend less time adding new features and more time should be spent on maintaining the site.

Who am I but a lowly webmaster and comic artist?

On the comic note, I am really satisfied with how today’s and Friday’s comics turned out. I feel like I am starting to get comfortable enough with what I am doing to develope my own style.
