Is this really necessary?

[Bobby]

Today, I've been making myself more social on the internet. I make videos on Youtube, and youtube has a two social networking sites associated with a monetized Youtube account. One is through Google, and the other is through Google as well. Although I had these two social networking sites as a results of becoming an Adsense member through Youtube, it wasn't until today that I started customizing my profiles on both sites. An added benefit of being connected to Youtube through Adsense is that you can choose to have your twitter and your facebook linked, so that other people can see your online activities. I created my Twitter account over two years ago-customized it and everything, but the limitations of words bugged me, so I stopped using it for a couple of years. It wasn't until just the other day that I accessed my Twitter account, and actually became seriously hooked on Twitter. The irony of all of this, is that I despise the Mainstream, yet I'm actively participating in it.
Including Twitter and Facebook, I have a total of four social networking sites that I'm actively using on a daily basis. Since being suspended from college for ten months (three of the ten months have already expired), Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, and Orkut just to name a few, have become an obsession for me. I have done all I can to get a job, but so far my tireless efforts have all failed, and so I've decided to take up volunteer work at a local hospital. I'm also volunteering in churches for present drives, and other such charity work.
It didn't occur to me until just a few minutes ago that all of this socializing, and obsession over social networking is a waste of time, and is only intended to connect people for short periods of time, and not over extended periods of time. I don't normally obsess over something, unless I know there's a benefit in indulging into it. Otherwise, my interest in such things is generally short lived. There just comes a point when you have to ask yourself "is this really necessary?". I've put up so much information about myself, that if you googled me, you would probably come across all kinds of generic and repetitive information about me. Probably not enough to come up with an autobiography, but one thing is for certain; I'm probably very easy to find online. I'm wondering if it could be a bad thing for other people to be able to find me so easily.

OMG! Your life is such a tragedy.

In my honest opinion, it depends if you WANT to be easily found online.

If you want to make a stain on the internet and maybe create amazing videos on YouTube, then sure, I would personally want to be easily googled up because of the things I've created or videos I make.


However, it's a bad thing to be so easily googled up if you want to apply for a job and you've done really weird things...


So it has it's pros and cons. You decide! it's all up to you.

The material and or ethereal things that you are doing in your life may be necessary for you and for others; sometimes they may be subjectively necessary while at other times they may be objectively necessary or even not necessary at all.

You are doing greatly much in your life. But ... wanting to add more to what you are doing, or going for an alternative, you might try and give yourself unto some great perspiring exertions. Doing some great sport you might be competing for shining medals or for other rich prizes. Or you might go and passionately till a great luscious orchard.

If you want to use your time on something more ... ethereal, you may try a venture into the immense wondrous or weird domain of speculations in thinking.

In case you want to do less, or to do nothing, you might try and surrender into the glowing clouds of idle life, of thoughtless rest. You might be peacefully sitting and with closed eyes; you might mildly kiss all the hints of free joy that will appear in your mind.

Also, you might try and be thinking that from the deeper warm throbbing vaults of your own heart, from along the immense sun-kissed or gloomy wind-swept and at times even deadly stormy shores and landscapes and horizons and heavenly stretches and yonder of your own soul, you are certainly ardently preparing for changes, for a great metamorphosis, even for a sequel of wondrous or weird metamorphoses perhaps never thought of before, that may be leading you on to a great apotheosis of glowing certainty and of delicious as if perennial bliss.

What else ever could you try and do! But do also all the while stay more open for chances of lots great merry thoughtless laughs in good company, when good loving company is there, or more often most sublimely all on your own. Good luck!
