Because if it Doesn't Exist on Facebook it Doesn't Exist in Real Life

For 2 of the 4 months in 2011, I have deactivated my facebook. I thought it would parallel going cold turkey from meth but it was actually quite easy. I didn't even think about facebook for those months. It was very refreshing. But why when I reactivated my account negreauxes were acting like I rose from the dead or came back from rehab? It was damn near a celebration when I got back on. I got bombarded with questions like "I was worried. Are you okay," "Where you been man," "I went to tag you and your name didn't come up," "I missed you!" yadda yadda yadda

I mean really. People don't have my phone number or something? SO if I deactivate my facebook then I deactivate my life? I just don't understand. It's like the internet and smart phones have caused people to lose the basic functions in life. If I am wondering how someone is doing I just pick up the phone. It boggles my brain.

O you went out last night...well I didn't see a status about it. "Maybe because I was out enjoying the night"
O you have a housewarming coming up...well I didn't get an invite message. "Maybe because I was going to send you a formal invitation in the mail"
O you wrote a note...well I didn't get tagged in that note. "Maybe because I just forgot"

I do not have to record the happenings of my life on facebook so that you can keep track of my comings and goings from the comforts of your couch. If you miss me or just want to know what is new...hit me up! I am sure I'll entertain you with eloquent art of conversation.
