How do I feel about Facebook? I will happily admit that I find it a wondrous thing to touch upon the glimpses of my family and friends whenever I wish; to bring their worlds a bit closer to mine, as I journey through time on this beautiful planet. I think it is pretty cool to touch base with people whom I would otherwise only see upon occasion, as they live so far away. I feel it brings us all that much closer, visiting in the virtual realms.

Surely there is simply not enough time each day to catch up on everything, yet it truly does not matter. Just a little peek here and there is enough… and more than enough most days! This is just how it is with Social Networks of this type. Especially if one is divided between business and pleasure.

The only downfall that I can see at this time, is that other people can find back doors into our private lives, wall posts, and even our pictures if we do not look through every aspect of the privacy settings. Not sure why, but Facebook makes it pretty tricky for those who are unaware of how to set everything within their account to keep their privacy within each of our own personal bounds. I would suggest looking through account settings very carefully to be certain that you are very clear on which information you wish to be seen, and by whom. It is not simply cut and dry, so do not be fooled into a false sense of security. Either pay close attention, or be very careful about the information you put forth to be viewed by others on the internet. It is nearly impossible to retrieve that which may become viral, in a short amount of time.

With that said, I am still happy to visit my peeps as often as time permits. Life is simply too short, and it is really nice to catch up with friends and family, giving us less separation and more of a sense of being part of the bigger world. Speaking of which, I would like to take a few moments to hop on over to my own Facebook and see how everyone is doing today.. Enjoy!

Oh yes, I am pretty sure I am not alone on this one. One of my greatest passions is music, and I love to bring my music with me when I am traveling around on my many adventures. So, in order to fulfill my greatest desire to listen to my favourite tunes as I travel, I am in avid pursuit of a new toy! Hmmm… this one is a no brainer, since I am pretty good at finding exactly what my sweet little heart desires! Of course, I do like to take advantage of getting the latest opinions from my family and friends, so I will post my current choice and see what my people have to say.

At the moment I am swaying heavily towards the Apple iPod touch 8 GB (3rd Generation). This just so happens to be the newest model, and comes with a price tag which is within my budget.
