Leaving Facebook (again)

I'm continuing to pull farther back from social networks, as I'm finding less and less in common with the people who populate them. Worse, I'm developing a deep loathing of some people. I'm getting nothing healthy out of this connection with others. What I'm getting is increasing feeling of alienation.

People have been telling me, "do you think this is how you should act if you want people to buy your books?" But the thing is, I don't want to sell my books to some of these assholes. I don't want to talk to people anymore about any topic. I don't want to be a "useful member of society."

Mostly, I wish I could tear down everything you've built and start from scratch. I want to destroy every fucking car and tell you drivers "fuck you, learn to walk on those entitled fucking legs." I want to burn down every church and tell every member of organized religion, "Go pray in your closet and see how it feels to be denied your point of view." And yes, I want to destroy the publishers who sign Snooki and Paris for books and then claim that they're the best judges of quality. I want to hunt down every bully and give them a taste of their own medicine. I want to burn down Hollywood and make porno movies in their place.

I'm full of hate, and every day, Facebook gives me a fresh supply to keep me topped up. But I can't do this anymore. I'd much rather spend all day singing on LIPS and writing dirty stories than absorbing more indirect hate.

So goodbye, Facebook. Can't say that I'll miss you much.
