Sometimes it feels like Eels songs are all about me. Perhaps they are. Which is why I like them so much. To adopt one of those Kerouac type of fax paper roll process, that was just to get the typewriter started..... I spent three or so hours today playing peeping tom on facebook. Looking at people I had no intention of becoming friends with, some I already am friends with, some I am actually frineds with, other I just didn't want to be rude. Either way, yes I am a stalker of the facebookian variety. I always resisted these ego uploaders, but here I am writing a blog, talking about a facebook obsession. But I've had a revelation, of sorts. Perhaps it's just because I feel kind of starved for varied human contact these days. Perhaps. So Yeah, they're all orchestrated designs of who people want to be, what people want to be, and what they, ok we want others to see us as. Yes, I am a facade. Just like you buddy. But that's cool. Is like that old adage Life is Performance Art. Actually, I think that was something Nell told me once (I hope she's thinking about it herself these days), but it's such a true thing that I'm sure it was some kind of adage first. All the world's a stage... yeah. And now that stage is facebook. Myspace. This blog. So here I am world. How I want you to see me. How I might really be. Even I can't know that line in its entirety. Some of it might be true as in actual total and utter truth fact reality. Some of it might not be. Hunter S Thompson was a journalist.
