I love social media and social networks, I do, but their comes a point when I need to pull myself away from them and actually be social out in real life. I think that goes for all of us who use them. Here are the signs that you may need a break.
1. You've stumbled upon the whole internet including the upside down transgendered clown site but you've yet to stumble upon your significant other in weeks.
2. When you make jokes like "That book is on the New York times bestseller list? I haven't reddit."
3. Your self esteem depends on getting popular on digg and just like high school you aren't popular.
4. You've signed up for other social networks even though you know you aren't going to use them ever. (I'm looking at you Ryze)
5.You have more blog catalog friends then the population of china.
6. You meet with your closest friends on twitter and make the coffee shops sad.
7. You drop more entrecards than Timbaland drops beats.
8. You think facebook applications are fun and useful, especially the funwall.
9. You think mybloglog kinda sounds sexual. Hint if this happens stumbleupon your boyfriend or girlfriend or transgendered clown. Cause you are hard up.
There you have it. Go spend time with friends, and family, and your spouses etc. The social networks will still be here... and I'll have 5000 friends on each suckers bwahahhaha.

I haven't used twitter for that very reason...I don't need to know what everybody is doing all the time and I need time off the computer too :) We're going away in a few weeks, I can't wait!
I noticed though, you don't have an entrecard widget? That would be a good one to add to your list :)
Because I am narcissistic/self absorbed sometimes I think you write these after talking to me :P
Let's see 1, 3, 4, 5 I am gettin close, and you just told me to get going on another site!! Too funny man!
To my defense the weather sucks today what else is there to do? ;)
This is really good! You had me laughing the whole way through!
Who's Timbaland? Maybe I need to sign up for more social networking sites?
I <3 blog catalog.
Actually I'm a total social network addict. However, it probably is one of the least sinful of my many vices. *wink*
Okay, I admit I don't know what part of these things are, that either makes me really old(which I am) or really internet illiterate (which I am)..lol As always thank you for the laugh.
10.) You're addicted to your blog like a frat boy is to beer.
11.) You have no way of ending your time on the computer much like Tim's blog about ending texting between 2 friends.
You're hilarious. You really do deserve to win Bloggers Choice Awards Best Blog for humor (just a little plug for you...)
Very true indeed!
#9 serious LOL!
:)
I'm trying to get into Twitter, but I just don't see the point. I dunno... I think I'm interesting but only when the planets align a certain way. Even then, I'm no where near a computer to Tweet about it. Bah.
Also *ahem* there is nothing wrong with #3!
All right, all right.
Which way to BlogCatalog Anonymous ?
Social networks wow what a trap they are. I'm the guy that belongs to a wad of them from porn to politics (which at times are synonymous) and never even uses the service. I have many blogless bloggs and a digg account that I used for the first time in a year and a half to "digg" this, the famous Sogeshirts, blog.
If there's one good thing about computers and masturbation; you don't have to look your best.
Damn funny Tim you'll be big-diggin' soon!
who in the world would have no. 5 haha
13. When you have to think about buying a new couch because your wife complains that your butt print has deformed your favorite spot.
(True story. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.)
(Also the part that had to with stumbling and significant others.)
This was so funny, but the scary thing is, I'm turning into this.
Omg. I have been in denial but this really puts it out there for me. How can you just keep getting funnier?
I've not even started to figure out social networking. . . but understood the post enough to find it hilarious. Thanks for sharing!
I didn't even realize BlogCatalog was a social network. I know ppl are adding me, but I refuse to get sucked in to the insanity. Same with all the others...
Though I do miss the odd super poke.
Damn I guess I need a break.
So true! My self esteem is so related to my buzz rating ☺
ohh...man...
it's funny...
hahaha...
These things can be fun but yeah if you ain't careful you'll find yourself doing it anywhere and everywhere.
