J. Edgar, the movie

I just finished watching "J. Edgar," a movie about J Edgar Hoover, a masterpiece, produced and directed by Clint Eastwood:

Great movie. Made me almost like the guy, as portrayed so masterfully by DiCaprio, for his fortitude, for his single mindedness, and in spite of his flaws. There was a man who lived his beliefs to the fullest, well almost, except for his private life. I have no idea how truthful this movie is to the real Edgar Hoover, though. Here's one description of J. Edgar Hoover.:

Done with Facebook

Since a few years ago until a week or so ago I had been using Facebook as one of the ways to keep in touch with the world out there. I was able and willing to wade through a lot of FB junk to get what I wanted and to say a few words of my own as well. However, the fact that I did use FB has negatively impacted my private life in ways I do not wish to share. So, I decided to quit Facebook -- and I do not miss it.

I am convinced that I will be able to keep in touch with my true friends (not 650+ FB friends) in other, more direct ways. And I will limit my Internet writing to my weblogs. Life is more peaceful this way.
