Honey, I think I broke my toe!

You know the feeling that sometimes the entire universe is against you for a very obscure reason?
That's what I think about my trip to Poland on Monday... Yes, it's the one I should take for which I kind-a/almost/sort-a cancelled my booking several days ago.
It's also the Monday when the French (otherwise lovely people) air control employees decided to go on strike for - to me - even more obscure reasons...
And it's also in two days from now, with a flight at 7 am (so, yes, what the heck, I can get up at 4:30 for nothing, right?)... and I think I just broke my toe.

How come? Well, let me tell you the steps to get your toes destroyed, if you're interested:
- in the evening, move the furniture around your home to unusual places
- when your son wakes up at night, DO NOT turn on the light when you go to his room
- repeat this at 10 pm, 11 pm, 12 pm and 1 am
- take him in your arms and go to the bathroom, THEN turn on the lights so you won't see a damn thing anymore
- once he drank enough water to fill an entire box of Pampers, turn off the light and...
- go to his room, your royal blindness
- find his bed, try to put him in there, without smashing his head on any side of it, because you have no freaking idea where the bed is anymore, with all the moves you made last evening and with the fact that you're not really awake
- then try to walk out of the room and...
*drums*...
- hit the stupid f..ing door with your toe on your way out

Result: in the morning you get a nice red, swollen toe and the right amount of pain that goes with it. And again the question 'how the hell am I going to Poland?!' asked for like the hundredth time this week.

PS: yesterday evening I had finally received my three new pairs of fabulous-looking (me thinks) shoes that, guess what, I won't be able to wear anytime soon. Universe, go screw with someone else's plans now, please!

I deleted my Facebook account

Yes, I know, after my previous post you would tend to believe I'm really a moron and/or in a 'let's delete everything' suicidal mission.
Actually, it's neither of those. I deleted my Facebook account and I did it on purpose. On a side note, with all the 'are you sure' questions asked by Facebook, you really really have to want to do it. Not like my stupid tool to book and cancel my business trips. Anyway, back to the initial statement: Hello, my name is ...(who cares?) and I deleted my Facebook account.
First thing I have to say is that I am not missing it at all. So maybe it was not such a brave gesture as I thought, I was not even addicted.
Then, a question (I'm good at those) keeps popping into my mind: why? Why did I do it?

And this morning, on my way to work, I think I grasped a small part of the answer (actually two):

• I like doing things "wrong" - aka not the same as the rest of the world (being a tiny bit of a rebel, in my own way, because I am so damn boring and conventional in 99.9% of my life).
• Facebook is like TV. And I.hate.TV.

I know, it might be a weird statement, but really... did you ever think about it that way? Facebook makes you read and watch what other people want you to read and watch. It just takes away your freedom to choose what news, blog, music, pictures... you name it, you actually want to see.I know it's supposed to be about "following" friends, family and people who actually mean something to you. But it kind of doesn't. It goes chaotic and very much 'spam' like and in the end it absorbs your energy and your enthusiasm to actually go and look for something interesting on the www.
Same as my friend-colleague who regularly calls me a moron (because I am one and because she loves me), I love Internet. But I just don't get Facebook.
And I deleted my Facebook account. Statement made. Right?
