I hate to be “that guy”. You know, the guy who tries to jump on a new trend or tries to go against the flow in an attempt to be original and/or edgy. So instead, I’m going to try to convince you that I’m not trying to be that guy…because, you know, that’s exactly what that guy would do.
First of all, I dropped the LaCaze Enterprises part of the blog and changed it back to jakelacaze.com. Why? Because let’s face it, as exciting as business can be (that is half-serious, half-sarcastic), it’s not all I want to talk about. Right now, all I can think of is that famous quote from Terrell Owens: “I love me some me”. And I do, because, hey, I’m a lovable guy, but I have so much more going on than business. And while everyone is rushing out for a niche, I feel restricted by a niche. Maybe one day I could have my own exciting startup (probably not happening) or maybe one day I could blog for a company with a specific purpose (probably not happening either), but at this moment, my only theme is me. Hence, jakelacaze.com.
Also, I deactivated my Facebook account. Will it last? Will I jump back on? Who knows. But I figure that there’s only one way to find out. I decided to deactivate my account after the last time I logged on and realized that I was pissed yet again by Facebook’s changes, which did not feel smart or efficient at all. Perhaps I would do the same thing if I were running Facebook, but I’m not and I have a different perspective in all of this. Too often, Facebook leaves me feeling like the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer — frightened and confused.
I’m not saying that I’m getting off social media completely — just Facebook. And I’m not saying that I’m never blogging — just trying to be more honest.
