In this day and age people spend more and more time on the net, hell I'm one those people. We got our facebooks, myspace, and twitter pages all poppin which we update all day with random info and pics that look into our lives. We let people be the fly on the wall or the bird that follows us. My concern is this are we really the person that we portray online or is @insert twitter name here a fasade of what we really want to be but to afraid to embrace in real life? I've encountered all kinds of personalities online. The guy/girl that always has the most outrageous stories or statements, how about the Internet baller or the model chick with barbie, baddest, or dream somewhere in their handle? You got the funny guy, the "real"nigga or bitch, and the sexually confident woman. I can go on and on. I've hung out with quite a few people that I only knew from online and I will say about 60% of them were like online. I'm not saying that in a negative way just as in you were cooler on the net kind of way. It's just a lil odd but I understand online we exist but we don't we can hide behind our avatars and profiles and let those be the things to convince others of our personalities. We don't have to answer to anyone and we have no rules. My thing is this whats so hard about falling for our own hype? If the person you want to be is what you live online why not try it out in the real world? I only can speak for me when I say this... This is me 100% of it. The words you read are those of my heart and mind. Now look at your profile and tell me Is That Really You?
I'm gonna need for more folks to follow this blog and get their minds right...
