social media and other miscellaneous thoughts

I don't like it. Social media, I mean.

Yeah, the sentiment's not new. But it's quarter past two in the morning and I can't sleep and I wanna talk about something and I don't wanna do movie or music review things now because they burned me out and social media is the only stupid thing I have the patience to talk about right now.

I got Facebook years ago. I never post anything on it, why would I? No use. I only keep it around because it's really the only convenient way to be connected to all my friends and colleagues and stuff. Plus I can find interesting events on it, though the last concert I found on it was cancelled. So there's that.

I got Twitter at the start of college because I had to, to participate in something for class. I'll have to do it through the rest of college too. But it's utterly useless other than that. Following celebrities and politicians and stupid joke accounts, that's not really worth it, but I gotta have Twitter so I'll use it. But once I graduate that stupid thing is gone. Hopefully forever. Screw Twitter.

Reddit? Got it last year. It's actually not that bad, and I've gotten way more entertainment and information out of it than I have with my almost three years with Twitter and my like six years with Facebook. Plus it's anonymous, at least kind of. Just gotta know where to go. (well, duh)

This site? Yeah, it's a fanfiction website, but it's super obvious that it's got social media elements in it, like with the groups. It's alright. I've met some real cool people. Had my ups and my downs. But I like this place I guess.

Then there's Instagram, and I've heard it's not exactly a good place. Well, it can be a good place if you make it be. I joined it only in November or something to more easily follow King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. And I find it nice, even after following a few other people too. Not really any unpleasant bullcrap that you can find on any of the other sites. I mean, aside from here, it's the place I post most frequently now, even if it is just crappy drawings and photographs.

Just rambling thoughts here, really. I'm just tired and kinda annoyed at myself and the world and trying to figure stuff out and venting some feelings at social media.

...and now on a side note I'm wondering if I should change my avatar. Just slightly. Maybe put the fishie face on Patrick Star or something instead of a color inverted Pikachu. If I can figure that out. Or get the motivation to do anything these days.

...well, I am trying to write stuff, but considering my track record lately it might not even come out at all. Hopefully it will. I really wanna be confident enough but I'll have to see.

Anyway.

Here, have some cool music I've discovered:

Hope you enjoy. Should probably cut this off here before I start rambling again. See ya
