Alright people.
So, I admit that I’ve always considered myself a bit of a facebook snob. In my defense though, there are reasons for this. Basically, my alma mater was one of the first 10 or 15 schools to ever “get” facebook, so I’ve been using this social networking site for almost 8 years. Not only did I have it before parents, celebrities, brands, and teenagers had it, I had it before state schools had it. I remember going home for winter break my freshman year, and all of my friends exclaiming, “Oh my God, you have facebook!? What’s it like?!” (But back then it was called THE facebook.)
Anyway, I think that precisely because of this fact, I’ve always been resistant to using facebook for any means other than keeping in touch with my friends, posting photos, and sharing inside jokes. That’s what this thing was originally FOR, and I’ll be damned if I use it for any other reason. Lately though, I’ve become more and more aware of facebook as a networking tool, and as a ways in which some people—who do not know me very well personally—form an opinion of who I am.
Along that vein, I’ve decided to begin using facebook to promote myself as an actor, mostly because at this point, it’s unavoidable. (I can almost hear Garrett rolling his eyes as I type this.) So, if you know me, and appreciate me—or even if you don’t know me, but like this little ol’ blog—could you go ahead and “like” me please? I promise nothing obnoxious will ever happen on that page. OK? OK.
