the amount of time we spend over-thinking and crafting our social media message is insane. for example, last night i saw a post from a friend about his terrible cold.
this morning, i reached out:
'i didn't realize you had a terrible cold...we g-chatted all day...why didn't you say anything?'
he responded that said status was his alibi, crafted solely for a guy he had plans with... to set the stage for when he texted him an hour later, canceling.
ahhh..... the wily ways of gays. to be fair, we've all done this. i've also done the opposite - specifically NOT checked into foursquare somewhere because i was supposedly elsewhere. i've even gone so far as to try to check in somewhere i wasn't.
when we're crafting twitter / facebook / foursquare messages to establish a fake life in order to not mess up our real life, it makes me think that perhaps we should unplug: turn off the smartphone and go to those plans that you're trying to bagger vance on.
