Must…not…social…network

I don’t know that it’s much of a barrier, but I just added friendster/facebook/myspace to my hosts file–which basically means that those websites won’t work from my desktop.  I wonder how long I’ll leave this in place, or whether I’ll just go to my laptop to get around it.  Oh well, the clock is ticking…

Why block these sites?  Well, in addition to the fact that they’re addictive, do they really make me happy…or are they just a popularity contest not worthy of competition?  That’s my food for thought for the evening.
