An Early New Year's Resolution

I happened to be on Facebook today, in between cooking and stuff. It was a low-key to kill time waiting for the cooking time to be up, without getting too involved.

Today was a good day. I wished an in-law a Happy Anniversary, laughed at some silly cartoons/videos, and for the last 1/2 hour, happened to watch several very good videos in a row.

One of them was featuring Mike Rowe, who captures the Every Man persona better than anyone.

Another was from Prager U - a young woman who explains how she learned more valuable lessons from McDonald's than from her university.

And the last was from Goalcast, and told the story of the life of Jon Hamm, and the actual life struggles he had before success. Check out the Goalcast Channel on Youtube; you could do worse than use that page to start every day.

And, I made a decision. I'll still use Facebook, but I'LL USE Facebook - it won't use me.

I'll Hide the argumentative people and threads. I'll Reject the Ads that pass in front of me.

And, most importantly, when someone says something flat-out DUMB and uninformed, I'll HIDE that post.

Really. Just walk on by, and ignore it.

I have made a choice to stop working to correct/teach/inform dumbasses. It's just a major waste of time.

So, walk on by.
