Deleted Inc. has been wrestling with this for quite some time…What is it about Facebook that makes one check it all of the time? I’ve yet to determine the answer for this, but I’ve been in a loop where instead of working on illustrations or some other projects that I should be doing, I keep coming back to Facebook only to see that nothing has changed since the last time that I’ve checked it. If you know me, and you probably don’t as I’m a bit of a hermit, I’m not a social person. Maybe this is where the disconnect is happening. Rather than post serious updates on my page, I choose to post random song lyrics, thoughts, links, etc. My friend count is now just one above 80, that would be 81 for the mathematically challenged, and though I’ve found and have been found by people from my past, I can’t say that I feel like I’m anymore social than I was in High School, which would be not very social at all…see the Campbell County High School 1995 yearbook. It would be an understatement to say that I’m not the target audience for social media.
I guess that there is an upside to facebook, I am able to create a page to post my art happenings, which seems to have a better response than my personal account, this makes me think…maybe I should put the personal underground and really use the BEENDELETED, Inc. as a sort of mask and focus on that for awhile. I killed my personal account before, well I parked for a few days, but revived it after a talk with my wife saying that it was rude to do that to family and friends. Now that the number of family and friends that are on FB have been reduced, I think it might be time to revisit this solution again.
Like skinny jeans for a fat man, social media fails the unsociable. That is all for now…until next time…COURAGE.
