I had a great time at corifornia, and hanging out with Sarah and Alex, and expect to have a good time at CABI&#8217;s pig party. What I apparently am is anti-social-media.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it&#8217;s all the religious posts, when religion is something I&#8217;m busy uninstalling. Maybe it&#8217;s the pro spanking your children posts, when I still can&#8217;t visualize someone hugging me without seeing them physically attack me. Maybe it&#8217;s all the republican posts, or the posts criticizing people for celebrating their love, or the &#8220;here&#8217;s how awful people are being&#8221; posts about AIDs and gay people. (I&#8217;d call that a religious post, or perhaps a ignorant post)<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s harder and harder not to comment, not to raise to their bait. And I&#8217;ve lost too many friends already. How many are too many? Apparently one is too many. (Actually, in point of fact I think I&#8217;ve lost three that are still living). I want social media to go away, I want the news to go away, and then I&#8217;d like to take a crack at money. Once that&#8217;s gone, I think I&#8217;d like pair bonding as a way of life to go away, and then I think I would take a shot at religion. Human misery, suffering in general, yes, there&#8217;s a lot of things I&#8217;d like to go away.<\/p>\n<p>Where&#8217;s my love train riding from coast to coast? McDonalds is selling love, but where is my random hug from a stranger? I have a few friends who have been sending me a lot of positive things lately and I really appriciate that, but I wish the number was much larger. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have once again put 127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com in \/etc\/hosts.
