(This was meant to go up at midnight. GAH!)

Friends on Facebook are sometimes family as well. Unfortunately, certain applications make no discrimination, leading to some difficult calls.

I don’t get Facebook, to be completely honest. It seems sort of ridiculous the majority of the time. I am one of those people who figures that if you see a person all day, everyday, there really isn’t much need to communicate with them otherwise. I guess persons of a more social nature than myself feel otherwise.

I have an excuse for partaking in the shameful Facebook-ing. Since I am away from home, 98% of everyone that I know exists in Alaska, thus, it keeps my thread-thick ties taut.

I have viewed such social networking as a “predator catalog,” in the past. A place where fat, old pedos could browse to their heart’s content to find me to molest. Then the shining realization hit me that there is a certain degree of effort on the molestee’s part. Basically, I see it as, if you get molested by an online predator, you are a moron. Just don’t go to the houses of people you’ve met online. Or invite them over. Statistics have shown that people you meet on the Internet and invite over are creepy old men who will molest you. 12 times out of 10.

In fact, the only person that I have met and know exclusively online is Joel. And as always, there is the underlying threat that he is a molester, just waiting to molest. I was informed by a friend that the amount of time it requires for you to be sure that someone online is not a threat is two years. So in just under a year, Joel will cease to be a middle-aged man who lusts for illegal gratification.

Until then though, regard him as such.

In the topic of Joel, if you have been on board with me for awhile you are familiar with Everyman. The project that I draw and Joel writes. Obviously there has not been an update in forever. That is entirely my fault. 100% me being bad. We have decided to change the format from “weekly” to “issue . . . ly.” That’s right! Now comics are expected to be released in issue format online. Hopefully we should be seeing that first issue within the next few months.

Until then, Joel’s hosting expiration is imminent, and the current site will be closing down soon. Do not despair! The site will be moving to a temporary home, sheltered under this domain which can be viewed at http://www.everyman.gamercandycomic.com. It will be relaunched with the first issue. I really liked Joel’s observation on the situation:

“This is the Internet equivalent of being kicked out of your apartment and staying on a friend’s couch.”

Oh, and the new site (Good in Theory) is being designed. I can’t build websites.

Enjoy.
