Now, I am a little lazy, to be fair, when it comes to using social media. I don’t actually use Facebork or Twitter. Foolishly, I only really use the lovely Google+. And, of course, I write here on my blog.
And, when I say “I”, I mean ‘Christopher England‘ rather than me the actual guy behind ‘Christopher England‘.
However, the way I work it all is that I put the bigger stuff on my, or that’s ‘Christopher England‘s blog, or the quickfire stuff on Google+. Then, the truly wonderful WordPress (here) and totally brilliant IfThisThenThat (here) ensure that Facebork and Twitter and LinkedIn sprout copies or summaries, to inform the wider world about my brilliance.
My real life remains my own personal private life, so there’s rarely any actual stuff about the real me anywhere, although sometimes I will include arms-length tales of my fluffy partner and gorgeous cats. Sorry, that’s gorgeous partner and fluffy cats. We make a conscious effort to spend as much time together as we can when we can, and, when we can, we stay off t’internet and instead do stuff together, enjoying each other’s company.
So, in summary, I hope this explains why you don’t actually see my real shit posted on Facebork and Twitter, and why, from time to time, the ‘Christopher England‘ updates get a little irregular.
I have, however, been considering ‘appearing’ on social media as the real me, and maybe even retiring ‘Christopher England‘. For now though, the status quo remains, and Christopher England continues in those moments when I’m not too busy enjoying being the real me and snatching as much time as I can with my partner and cats.
Time moves so much faster the older you get. Pretty soon it’s all over. Time runs out. We die. In those last dying moments I’m sure we all consider for a few nano-seconds how much more we would have done if we had more time. As I extinguish, I will have many regrets, mainly about things that went wrong or that I wish had been different for me, my life, my family, the people I knew and the relationships I had. But I don’t want to have any regrets about my personal life as it exists right now, and I want to breathe in every moment of it for as long as I have.
