Facebooking 101




● www.GoliathFlores.com

This post will supply you with some guidelines for effectively showing the world who you are, what you do, where you've been, who you know, what you're listening to, and what you're eating.

We are all unique individuals and facebook has given us a venue to publicly chronicle our lives. It has also helped people crystallize their digital personas.


American society has been through many fads and changes throughout its history. Fads like "Break-Dancing, owning a "Pager/Beeper", and having a myspace have come and gone (Whats a 'myspace' you ask? Haha!). But, today having a facebook account is increasingly popular. Facebooking is not only a modern fad, it's a "meta" fad riding on the advances of computer technology.

Having an "on-line" presence has become an essential ingredient for a successful life in society. There are many things that can make people assume you've "gone off the deep end". One of these things is NOT having a, or canceling your facebook account, which can cause people to think that you've grown a beard, moved to the mountains to play the Banjo, hunt deer, and join a militia group.

There are several things to take into consideration when sculpting your "persona" on a social network. Here are twelve tips to facebooking successfully:



1. You must have a picture of yourself smoking a Hookah ESPECIALLY if you're female.



2. (Females Only) You must have at least one photo that indicates some sort of "lesbian" innuendo. I say "Females Only" because if it was a guy doing this to a girl in a picture he'd be considered a mere perv. And not an open minded female on the cutting edge of "social progress".



3. (Females only in most cases) You must have at least one picture of you smooching your lips at the camera. Or at least puckering them to either look pouty, or to make your lips look bigger. Some experts claim that the "Pouty Lip Syndrome" (PLS) is caused by the lids on to-go coffees which resemble a toddler's sippy cup. There isn't much science to that theory, yet I think it merits further study. However, think of the pouting of the lips as a sort of mating call... You know, the way peacocks open their feathers to be more attractive to their mate. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this. So post at least one picture with smoochy pouty lips.


4. If you have a well maintained body you almost HAVE TO show us.




5. Posting a picture of your quirky side is of the essence. This lets people know that you're not all business and that you know how to have fun!



6. Don't EVER... EVER... EVER EVER EVER EVER use facebook to discuss anything intellectually challenging or controversial in your posts. This is all about being liked by, and getting along with everyone... People. So don't go thinking to far outside of "The Box".

7. Show us what you're eating instead. But... Make sure it doesn't look like a professional photo by a cuisine photographer otherwise people will think you stole the image from the internet, and that is bad, since giving people the impression that you're passing someone else's work of as your own is... Well... It's not so bad I guess... People steal other peoples images all the time. So, since we all do it, it's o.k. forget I said that last part.




8. Get a tattoo, preferably of something spiritually symbolic, or of significant personal meaning to you. It will help to show your individuality in numbers 1-4.





9. Post as often as possible or else people will think you died, instead of them thinking that you went out(side) and got a life.





10. Jump on the band wagon. One way to show fellow facebookers how intelligent you are is by making fun of individuals who are easy targets, like George W. Bush. Unfortunately doing so may keep you from helping more intelligent people gain notoriety.

11. Post a picture amongst your photos of a celebrity you think you look like, or that other people think you look like. 






12. Your friend count is a direct reflection of your self worth. SO KEEP YOUR FRIEND COUNT UP! And use absolutely no discretion with your "Accept Request" button.

School and Home School

  Oh my. I don't have time to write this. So it will be as follows:   1. What is school for? I think that Seth has a good grasp on this at the bottom, see [1] 2. There's an ongoing debate about homeschooling vs. public schooling. 3. I agree with most things about home schooling. Which is why I take the view that my kids are home schooled 5 days a week, from 3pm to 9pm, on the weekends, and all of their vacation time. 4. Home schooling should feel like art, it's enjoyable (largely), so don't worry about overloading the tone of "school" in it. 5. Everyone's situation is different: (a) Some of us have checks coming to us from the government that give us all day to do as we please. (b) Some of us have to work long hours every day to survive. (c) Some of us have a spouse that gives us all day to do with as we please. (d) Some of us are the spouse that gives the other all day to do as they please. etc. 6. Thus, our ideals aren't applicable to everyone. 7. Th...

Is Your Government A Narcissist?

  First of all, I apologize. Writing is a craft that takes ample time to do well, but I live in time and society that necessitates swift communication. The two don't go well together. I'm a single father who also looks after his elderly father, so there will be some grammatical mistakes, as well as composition related ones. Please endure with me through a semi edited writing. UNO There's a reporter who's controversial Tucker Carlson. I couldn't tell you why he's controversial, I just know that he is by how people talk about him. I also heard that Tucker Carlson is on the "far right". In our ZANY society, if you identify as the opposing party, in this case that would be "the left", it is almost socially mandatory that an individual express negativity for that person. Because if you don't someone might look at you suspiciously. DOS There's a personality disorder call "Narcissist" . They come in a couple of flavors. Tucker Car...

Does Art Necessitate Mental Unrest?

Music alone is not enough And being a film director is too much It's usually the case that there's nothing that I want to say badly enough to put myself through the labor. There was a time when I really wanted to say something, and I did. But, mental well being, in a way, quells the desire to express myself through art. Something about art has been about me not being seen enough, good enough, or just enough period. Feeling like enough kills the drive to express yourself in what David Bowie once called "such rarefied terms". I still make music, I still record music, almost never finish it, and share it with others even less. There's more to me than being a musician. I do have a love for it, but I need more. I always hated math, I've grown curious about it, and have gotten substantially better. The pandemic compelled me to become a roof salesman and to get my insurance adjusters license. I still laugh at that, but nothing is wasted. Transferable knowledge is tak...
