Someone Else Can Do For You





Facebook.  OMG.  : )  : (  LOL

I have a faux Facebook account I had to set up to look at some art a friend had put up.  I don't use it, but about once a month for some reason, I'll check it.  Joe and Marylen are now friends.  Amanda likes a photograph by Donny.  WTF?!!

I am worried.  I think I will have to set up a real account one day.  I am sure of it.  You will be the first to know.  Maybe.  I'm not certain how to make the transition from Cafe Selavy to a real identity.

Problematic.

I think about master artists of the past.  Would Hemingway have a Facebook page?  Faulkner?  Picasso?  Matisse?  I've checked some current artists and writers, and there are pages, but I am certain they are set up by someone else.  Perhaps that is the answer.  I'll be big, bigger than all that.  I'll have someone maintain my Facebook page for me.  Never get my hands dirty.  Why didn't I think of that before?

There is nothing someone else can't do for you.

  1. facebook is just my boondoggle...when I want to avoid something I loiter there to amuse myself and join in the silliness of it all. A time waster indeed. But it serves it purpose... The master artists? They probably had their ways to procrastinate as well...

  2. Why are you afraid that you will have to set up a Facebook account for real one day? Sounds to me like you secretly want one. No shame in that game. Just own it.

  3. Do a fan page for Cafe Selavy, it's the same thing, but a little different(i'm still playing with it). I've got 2 also, one under my name that you know about and then one I made for fishcraze that I haven't really "opened" yet.

    good luck my friend.
