I’ve really increased my following on Twitter. Not my followers. I’ve just added to the people I’m following, which of course makes it pretty much impossible to actually pay attention to any of it – except for randomly. That’s OK, ‘cuz one of the reasons I decided to bail on Facebook was because people I knew from my “real” life – particularly from work – were starting to look at my stuff (my Facebook stuff, that is; not my “Weiner” type stuff).

Not that I had a whole lot to look at (again, in terms of Facebook – no comment on the other stuff), but it very much made me censor myself. I mean, you definitely don’t wanna write “I hate my job” or “all I did was play LBreakout2 and shop on Amazon today” when there’s a chance your boss is paying attention. Hopefully nobody’s smart enough to ever come and look at this shit, or I’m really screwed (fortunately, people actually coming here no longer seems to be a problem).

So I can blissfully go about my life with (as Roger Waters once put it) the bravery of being out of range. Or (as the Car Talk guys might say) unencumbered by the thought process. After all, if you just sit in your room and talk to yourself, nobody knows you’re nuts. But if you stand out on the street corner and do it, people will cross the street to avoid you and you get labeled a schizophrenic.
