Telling myself again…

I’ve decided that I’m getting the fuck off Facebook. While I’ve probably told myself that I’m going to start blogging again about a hundred times, I think that the social media behemoth has become to big for it’s own damn good and secondly, that I’ve got to force myself off of it if I’m going to be productive and achieve the level of success that I want to. I’ve already deleted the main app off of my phone, but escaping it completely will be impossible for the near term since managing a social media presence is an essential part of brand-management or whatever marketing term you want to use. I am going to ignore my status notifications for the time being and find ways to move my audiences off of the platform. Messenger and Pages apps are still sitting on my phone — along with Twitter, for now — but I’ve decided that I’m only going to go on FB when I need to post something to one of my client pages or groups, and will start using this blog as much as possible.

The other decision I’m grappling with is this pseudo-anonymous identity that this site is named after. I’m sure that anyone with the time or willingness could figure it out without too much trouble, as I’ve had multiple profiles on various sites linked out across the interwebs under this name that probably has enough personal information scattered within it for someone to make a case for it. I just did a Google search and found one profile that needed a name change, but it looks like things are getting a bit obfuscated now that this reggae dub producer has started using the name.

At some point I’ll need to focus more on what I hope to accomplish with this, but for now I guess I’ll just keep posting.
