this week's sign of the apocalypse:

i'm giving up facebook for lent.... and it's actually a sacrifice.

seriously, i am. and even though lent doesn't officially start until wednesday, i already deactivated. it's been less than twenty-four hours and i've already had to stop myself several times from typing in that oh-so-familiar web address. ridiculous. i embarass myself.

there is a method to my madness, however. if you look below, one of my new year's resolutions is to be better about keeping in touch with people. facebook seems like a cop-out to me. seriously? if i want to check in with someone that badly, i can just as easily call them, or at least do them the courtesy of an email. technology is great, but let's show people we care, shall we?

so, wish me luck. and don't try to write on my wall. it's not there. i've depleted the facebook world of one more rapkowicz.... we're down to just three now, i think.....
