Does Instagram make you feel bad? Okay, well, log off then. We were put on this Earth to Goof Off and Have Fun, and it is well within your power to just ignore shit you don’t like. If you want to care about Shit That Is Important go do it in person.

Generally speaking, I wanna reorganize the way I use the internet. I wanna participate and interact with people. I feel like on Instagram I’ve been worrying too much about the mystique I create for myself, like I’m constantly advertising myself. It feels icky and I’m ready to give it up.

Lately, I have found much less of a calling to be on social media. I don't know a time where I checked my socials and walked away feeling happier. Do you? I have to be on my phone a fair amount due to work but I catch myself automatically clicking into apps out of boredom and I'm trying to stop that behaviour. I see the good in social media, the ability to stay connected to friends and be in-the-know on everything-- I think the whole point is that you feel left out when you're not on it.. so you're sucked in constantly. But that's not reality. I could disassociate for hours online and look up to the world around me and think, where the hell was I? I don't want to feel like a bystander watching other people's lives for a solid chunk of my day. Engaging more in the real world is a priority for me at this time in my life.

When I was a teenager there was this parking lot between a diner and a Dunkin Donuts that we called “The Parking Lot of Party” because it is where we partied. I love making little mythologies behind things that to everyone outside of our circle is totally inconspicuous. Anyway, last weekend I learned that you can name things in Google Maps, so now this bench by The LA River that I think is funny has my little joke name for it labeled for everyone to see.

Being the main character is hack shit, and really? You ain’t. All the people I see acting like the main character are all like, girls with blonde hair who didn’t hear Sonic Youth until their 20s or guys that that have daydreams about what they’d say as a guest on a podcast. I’m a supporting character. I’m Kramer, not Jerry, and I love it. Who needs a stressful storyline? If I get a storyline it is FUN, and EASY, and most importantly, UNNECESSARY. Most of the time I show up for a few minutes, get my bits in, and peace out. Simply living life.

When I’m mindlessly skimming through IG I will screenshot any story that has music in it, and then two or three times a week I will make a giant playlist of all the music people posted and listen through. Most of it is stuff I have heard before or stuff that is no good, but I get a lot of interesting music from this! Mostly I do it because the people I follow are randos I never met or met once, and this helps me feel closer to these strangers I’ve basically been collecting. An average week is a little over 10 hours of music.
