Alright, so I've might a slight return. This is by no means a return to post every day or more frequently. I'm just posting to inform all of you "followers" that I've decided to go on a one-week social media hiatus. Last night, I logged out of and deleted everything (off of my phone): Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Vine. Yes, even Snapchat and Vine. I didn't delete my accounts, I just logged out of them and removed the apps from my iPhone and the bookmarks from my computers. I realized that I'm actually looking at my phone a LOT, scrolling through Facebook News Food and Twitter, popping Snapchat open just as frequently, as well as Instagram. It just got to be too much. I've mildly considered the possibility of actually deleting my Twitter and Instagram accounts, but I've never really fully considered going through with it. I only got a Twitter because, at the time I got it, YouTube was a shit about things and wouldn't allow comments w/o connecting your Google+ account to it, and I wasn't having it. One YouTuber, Jonathan Paula, made a video about the comments section situation, and said that if you don't have that ability anymore, leave him a tweet. I did that and that's how my Twitter came to be. The reason I want to get rid of Twitter, but don't, is because of the reason I got Twitter. The reason I want to get rid of Instagram is because I don't post on it anymore and I'm not a huge fan of it. If I could somehow convince myself, I'd go back to just having my Facebook and YouTube accounts, with Snapchat on the side. No Twitter, no Instagram, probably no Vine either. For now, however, I'm sticking it out this week with no social media of any kind on my phone and computers. I'm feeling pretty good about it so far, and I think I can pull through. I'm not like some people who barely make it the first morning and have to peek.
Wow. That is a HUUUUUGE paragraph. And yes, that was a Donald Trump reference. He's the Republican nominee for President. Did you know that? Crazy, huh? Hell, Kanye West plans on running in 2020. I guess by then, anything will really be possible. I mean, if a sad excuse for a human being is able to run for the highest office in the country, I guess a monkey can be CEO of Disney. They're basically one and the same, right? No? Oh, wait! Sorry - back on topic.
Anyway, like I said, I'm taking a one-week social media hiatus, and I'm feeling great about it. This morning, I showered, ate breakfast, cleaned downstairs, and brushed my teeth. All before 10 AM. Usually, I'd get up, turn the shower on, look at my phone and check Twitter, then do all that phone stuff over breakfast, waste 10 more minutes on my phone, finally brush my teeth, then maybe on my computer, get to cleaning, and then be done. That... kinda had me out of breath just typing that. Yeah, it's good to be away from that stuff for a while. I'm also sick of all the "trends" that are born online by other stupid or seemingly entitled assholes. I'm tired of it and want to go back to the days before all that existed. The days before social media was a past-time for me. I'm reliving it now, and I couldn't be happier about it. Okay, quit glorifying it, dude. It ain't that fantastic. Sure, it's a good feeling, but it ain't like you're going back 10 years and feeling like a kid again. Stop it.
Anywho, that's my big thing going on, besides a job search. That gave me a fun ride this summer. I've finally got something starting soon, hopefully. Dorner Manufacturing in Hartland is looking for a Temp.-to-hire Designer, and a woman at a recruiting agency helped me get there. I'm excited about it and looking forward to getting back to work and making money! Goodnight!
