What's new with me?

Hey everybody!

If you are on Facebook and follow what I do or post, then you will have noticed that I am no longer on Facebook. The biggest reason for this, is that I want to get back to the basics. Facebook is fun, but I also find it invasive. I used to use it for marketing and for a way to broadcast the videos that we shoot on our job sites. I found that Facebook is also a place for people to say vicious things because they don't have a life. My advice to most people on Facebook, is (and you can quote me on this), "GET A LIFE".

I keep reading reports that say Facebook is becoming a bad thing for people and their lives. Why would I run to the computer on a Sunday afternoon to see if someone commented on a post I posted instead of hanging out with my family? I don't think Facebook should be considered part of a sustainable life.

Enough of my rant. To view the videos that we shoot, simply go to my website: www.adambearup.com and click on videos on the home page. From there, you will find the earth shelter videos and anything else that we shot on video. The videos will no longer be on Facebook.

Will I ever return to Facebook? The book people will no doubt want to use social media to sell my book. At that point, you will be able to like me, but not be a friend. I think this is non-invasive. I can go for that.

If any of you are on Facebook, please post the link to this blog so that the word can get out on why I left Facebook. After you post it for a day or two, then I suggest that you also get off Facebook. Facebook was nice to keep in touch with people, but, let's be honest, how many of your friends on Facebook really are your friends?

Put your attention to your family and friends in real life! I have decided to spend time with people in real life and to stop staring at my computer. I will update this blog more often if you are interested in what I am up to.

Have a great day!
