And So Much Better: A Quotation

"You know, when you're a kid, they tell you it's all 'grow up, get a job, get married, get a house, have a kid and that's it.'

No.

Truth is, the world is so much stranger than that. It's so much darker. And so much madder.

And so much better . . ."

Writer Russell T. Davies, from the 2006 Doctor Who episode "Love & Monsters"

Good-bye Facebook

So this is the night on which I'm pulling the plug on Facebook. (This post will be cross-referenced to my site.) Why? A couple of reasons. First, I pretty much talk to many of the people I'm friends with fairly often . . . they're friends, and they're local. Second, I don't have that much to say.

So, good-bye Facebook.

If anyone needs to write me, I'm at Mark_Dopita@Yahoo.com.
