Identity through social media

I decided to do the Westboro Baptist Churches twitter account. As I look at all of the things that they have tweeted recently I see  a lot of Bible verses but I also see things like "Godh8sfags" and terrible things of that nature. Their interactions with other people are horrible. Everyone hates everything that they say and never take them seriously because of all of the hate that they preach. I believe that they establish a negative view of they themselves but they also don't care. They continue to preach their hate towards others and do not care who they offend. I feel like this will be a very interesting twitter account to analyze.

Electronic Tatoos

When going through all of the pictures that I am tagged in on Facebook, I feel i represent myself as a fun guy. I have tons of pictures hanging out with friends. I have pictures of me in a speedo at a high school basketball game. That was a fun night. I have one of me in a uniform skit for girls. The are a bunch of my friends and me at the park swimming in the Chattahoochee river. There are plenty of me with my friends dressing up for dress up days during homecoming week during my senior year. One day we were the blue man group and went the entire day without talking. Looking at all of these pictures it looks like I am a guy who loves to be with my friends and doesn't care how weird I look while doing it. I love being able to see the pictures of me and my friends on Facebook, but I do not feel it is a responsibility to maintain a presence on social media sites. I hardly ever post or tweet because if I ever want to say something it is usually to a certain person and I will say it to them directly. If I do end up posing something I will of course censor myself. I wouldn't want to offend anyone or make myself look like and an idiot. If a future employer was to look at my Facebook for a job interview I don't think I would have a problem at all. I think he might get a laugh at so of the stuff I dressed up in or did, but I do not think any of it is offensive or bad in anyway. I am just a guy who loves to make great memories.
