Very lazy Sunday

Started my day off alright, got up around 9 and headed for the recliner. I had planned on getting my daily's (online) out of the way and start to work on my cards like I had planned. Then I got sidetracked with the A Day in the Life of stuff again. After a couple of hours, I finally stopped and moved on. I started working on my cards, finally.

About 3:30 I got up to get ready to leave as we had to run to Walmart and I was craving Flippin' Cow for supper. While I was taking a leak, I looked at my Fitbit. It said 42 steps. I then realized that I hadn't been out of my recliner since I got up that morning. That would be why I tend to not get many steps on non work days. Since we left though, I least got over 1,000 for the day.

I had to hit Walmart because on Friday, I was walking through the yard and the sole on my work boot folding over completely in half. I only bought them 4 or 5 months ago so that isn't good. I'm pretty sure the chemicals wore them down. Saturday, I put some duct tape between the sole and the boot and it worked great most of the day. With about an hour left, it started to come off. So, that would be why I had to hit Walmart.

We were in and out of Walmart quickly, went in the tire entrance, grabbed my boots and left. We went from there to the Flippin' Cow which is more or less a bar with a family section but the burgers are OMG delicious. We always get started off with these.

They are so good. They are big enough that Cheri uses a fork to eat them because she has to cut them up. I have a big enough mouth that it isn't an issue.

Cheri did a build a burger today but this is what she usually gets.

I know, sounds awesome right, but you have to see what I get.

We only go so often because as you can tell by the prices, it isn't cheap. We also only go when we don't have the kids with us. They can't appreciate that deliciousness anyways.

We headed home stuffed to the gills and resumed our chilling. I was actually going to start posting this blog about 3 hours ago but I went over to Google Photos (I don't even remember why now) and remembered that I wanted to go through it and delete stuff. Every picture, video, screencap, ect that I have ever posted on this blog and my many others were on there. I googled and found where it said they wouldn't delete off my blog so I went to deleting. Deleted over 10,000 photos because it duplicated almost everything. After spending a couple of hours doing that, I had a sneaky feeling something wasn't right so I went to my card blog and sure enough, all the pictures were gone. I was pissed, I started looking around and figured out how to restore them and spent an hour doing that. I went back to the blog and thank God they were there. I was thinking I was done with the blogs if they weren't going to be there.

I think they have changed where they store the photos because I noticed where a lot of my newer photos from my blogs weren't there. So I'm guessing that where I read they don't delete them was that they don't now. A couple of my blogs have been around awhile so I'm guessing where they used to keep them here is what I deleted.

If you haven't been to Google Photos, they have your photos in chronological order. So when you go there, your newest photos are on top. Except my page where these 3 videos are on top.

Notice the date at the top. I forgot that when I traveled to the future that I took videos of my kids. Oh yeah, they traveled with me as well because they are all a few years younger than they are now. At least the first one was taken indoors since it's cold in Ann Arbor in February, as for the last one, apparently my daughter wears shorts in the average temps of 35 degrees.  That's what I'm guessing happened.

Anyways, now I didn't get jack done like I wanted to. I wanted to  reload my Tumblrs as well and didn't get anything done there. Maybe tomorrow.

Day 392 - Blaine, NE (1274.3 miles)

It was okay week, I stuck around my 8,000/steps a day goal but not much more than that like I did the previous week. As you can see, I'm still in Nebraska and while I'm only going one state over, I have to go all the way across it so it'll be awhile.

Goal - 1,500 miles (4.1 miles/day)

Currently - 95.5 miles (3.53 miles/day)

Last week I was at 3.42 miles a day so I did increase that at least. As I said above in the blog, I haven't done much today so I'll need to make it up this week. I know tomorrow I have to go for a check up on the Sulfuric burn on my knee so that's about an hour I'll probably be sitting on my ass.

New Years–2014 Review, part 2

Check out my last post if you haven’t already to see the first part of my 2014 review. Todays part is all be about my blogs and my social media/internet habits.

The other stat I kept last year, and continued this year was how many words written on this blog, let’s take a look as compared to previous years.

As you can see to the left, I posted 35 less posts this year. I was probably on pace to get 200 or so again but the last 3 months only had 3 posts each. I just haven’t been in the blogging mood. The only reason I got as many posts as I did was because for a couple of months, I was blogging a journal entry every day.  I did reach 300,000 words on my 594th post in August of this year and up until this post, I’m showing 634 posts with a total of 321,709 words. I’m not really sure what will become of this blog since I rarely use it anymore. I would like to use it more but I just don’t really have much to say. I seem to be using my tumblr blogs more often, because I don’t really have to say anything. I just repost or post pictures that I enjoy.

We’ll start off with my blogger blogs. Yes, I have more than 1.

• 137 posts in 2014
• 8 additional followers in 2014
• 46655 pageviews in 2014

This blog is sports card related. Mainly baseball cards (yes, I collect them).

• 1192 posts in 2014
• 0 additional followers in 2014
• 2957 pageviews in 2014

This is essentially an index of all sports related pictures that I’ve posted to all of My Sports Obsession related blogs and sports related Pinterest boards. I haven’t advertised yet until I get caught up with all my previous posts so that’s why the stats aren’t really anything.

• 164 posts in 2014
• 5 additional followers in 2014
• 28709 pageviews in 2014

I’m hoping I don’t need to explain this blog, since you’re on it now.

• 26 posts in 2014
• 693 pageviews in 2014

This isn’t actually my blog, but I guest post on it. I post anytime I get any University of Michigan related sports cards. I don’t keep track of followers since it isn’t my blog and the stats I have above are related to my posts only.

My next set of blogs are all tumblr blogs. I’m more seen on these because I can queue them up on the weekends to run all week. Plus I don’t have to type anything out, just post or repost pictures.

• 345 posts in 2014
• 1 additional follower in 2014
• 4 likes or reblogs in 2014

I post a lot of different stuff but it’s mainly TV and movie posts. I also post my Last Song of the Day on most days there as well.

• 436 posts in 2014
• 40 additional followers in 2014
• 1133 likes or reblogs in 2014

On this blog, I post, obviously, cats. Every 5th post is a picture of my kitty. Lots of funny cat gifs.

• 589 posts in 2014
• 30 additional followers in 2014
• 91 likes or reblogs in 2014

On this blog, it’s sports, all the time. Lots of White Sox and Colts but also a lot of other stuff. Including vintage sports photographs. NBA, NFL, NCAA and MLB.

• 518 posts in 2014
• 58 additional followers in 2014
• 292 likes or reblogs in 2014

This blog is all Michigan Wolverines. A lot of sports but non-sports also, anything related to the University of Michigan.

Now on to my Twitter stats, and again, yes, I have more than 1. Twitter is annoying in the fact that I have to have a different email address for each account. Unlike blogger and tumblr, where you can just log on once and click which blog you want.

• 4835 new followers in 2014
• 587 tweets in 2014
• 131 retweets or favorites in 2014

This is my main and personal account. I tweet out links to my blog posts from this blog and my A Day in the Life of a Nobody blog as well as personal tweets. My Instagram usually posts here as well.

• 4441 new followers in 2014
• 626 tweets in 2014
• 212 retweets or favorites in 2014

The only thing that gets tweeted out here are blog posts from the Cats Are Cuter blog up above and once in awhile, I’ll retweet Instagram pics of my kitty.

• 4320 new followers in 2014
• 959 tweets in 2014
• 117 retweets or favorites in 2014

This blog goes along with the 2 My Sports Obsession blogs listed above as well as I tweet out any sports related tweets that I may have, such as games I’m watching and such.

• 4199 new followers in 2014
• 426 tweets in 2014
• 60 retweets or favorites in 2014

This blog goes along with the Michigan related blogs above. I also tweet out personal stuff that’s related to the school such as when I’m watching their sports or any other related tweets I may have.

Since we’re already on social media, we’ll continue with that.

• 2603 things pinned (17 different boards).
• 56 status’ posted in 2014
• 88 other things posted in 2014
• 50 personal photos posted in 2014

These stats are from my personal facebook page. As you can see I don’t really post a whole lot compared to a lot of other people.

• 50 posts to Instagram

• AOL – 2422 read emails
• Gmail – 5187 read emails
• GMX – 660 read emails
• Hotmail – 1370 read emails
• Yahoo – 3259 read emails

Yes, I have 5 email accounts. That’s because of stupid Twitter who you have to have a different email address for each account. The Gmail is the one I use for personal stuff which is why it has more and the yahoo one is the one I use to sign up on websites and newsletters and such.

I guess I should have put this on part 1 since it isn’t really internet related. Oh well.

• 610 incoming minutes used
• 766 outgoing minutes used

I have no idea how those are so high because I rarely talk on the phone. I round up so if it was a 10 second phone call, it gets counted as a minute so that’s part of the reason.

• 2903 texts that were alerts of some kind.
• 11992 incoming and outgoing texts that were to people I know personally.

I get alerts from my bank, the local sherriff’s department and Google calendar alerts. As well as some others but those are the only ones I can think of at the moment.

The majority of the personal texts are to Cheri, my mom, my brother and Samantha.

 

So there you go, those are my stats for 2014. Why were you a slacker and not keep stats?

My new project

There hasn’t been anything really going on and I haven’t felt much like blogging so I haven’t.  I’ll try to be better.  It will go with my latest “online” project anyways.

This will sound stupid to a lot of you, if not all, but it’s what I do.  I started a new blog, don’t get excited, only members can view it and I will be very selective as it is all about my family and life.  So if you’re a family member or close friend, ask me and I’ll send you an invite (I’m not expecting anyone to ask, maybe my mom, that would be all that reads this.)  Basically, I’m combining all my social media into one blog.  Here’s the info at the top of the blog.

In a world of everything being online, I'm going to try to compile the life and times of myself from all my social media accounts into 1 place. It's definitely a long term goal and I would like to eventually be caught up to just add daily, but until then, there'll be multiple posts a day. You can check out the labels at the bottom of the page.

First I went to Shutterfly and transferred all my older photos to the new blog.  I tagged them all with the year they were taken and tagged everybody in them.  So I can go to the blog and click on my mom’s name, or grandmothers, and see every photo with them in it.  Or I can click the year and see everything for that year, or just click the photograph label and view only pictures.  I was born in 1973 but my photos start in 1978 and so far, I’m up to 2009.  I also tagged them all with Shutterfly so I know where they are online.  Once I got to 2008, May 22nd, 2008 to be exact (the day I signed up with Facebook), I started to add anything I’ve posted on Facebook.  If it’s a photo I copy it over, if it’s a status, I screen cap it and post it as well.  On March 31st of 2009 (the day I signed up with Twitter), I started adding any tweets from Twitter that I posted.  As I get later in those years, I’ll add other stuff.  Here’s my start dates for all my social media that I may be adding.

I haven’t decided what all I’m going to be adding, I will probably do everything up there but I think for the blogs, I’ll just provide a link rather than the whole content, other than personal photos, we’ll see.  I’m playing it by ear and hoping I have it figured out by the time I start hitting the blogs.

Why am I doing this?  Well for one, it would be nice if it was all centrally located into one spot.  What I’m hoping is when I’m gone (dead) that my kids or family can have a place to come and learn about me.  I realize that this will probably never be an issue but I think because my father died when I was only 8, I only have a few memories and whatever stories I’ve heard about him growing up, I feel like I don’t really know him much.  I guess this is my way of leaving some kind of legacy.  With all the online content that’s being put out there, why not keep all of mine in one spot.

Plugging myself

I just wanted to update or plug all my online activities.  If you don’t care, feel free to ignore this post and wait for the next one.  I’m not going to use pictures and make it all pretty, this post is for informational purposes only.

Blogs (blogger)

• Random Thoughts From A Random Guy – Pretty much my everything but sports blog.  Book related, movie related, music related, family related and some humor as well.  Last year I posted an average of 4 times a week.  Some weeks more than that, some weeks less.
• My Sports Obsession – This is pretty much strictly sports cards related blog.  You can click the link to check out my collections.  This blog I posted an average of 4 times a week as well.

Blogs (tumblr)

• A Day In The Life Of A Nobody – This is my personal entertainment blog.  It’s mainly TV and movie stuff.  My top tags are Star Trek, Star Wars, Supernatural, the Big Bang Theory and the Walking Dead if that helps you out any.  I only post a max of 3 times a day, sometimes less depending on how much I have in my queue.
• Cats Are Cuter – This is an all cat related blog.  It has funny cat gifs and cute cat pictures as well as every 5th picture, is a picture of our Kitty.  I started this blog for my wife because she loves the cat stuff.  I only post a max of 3 times a day, sometimes less depending on how much I have in my queue.
• My Sports Obsession – I started this blog because I love good sports photography.  I post all kinds of sports related pictures, vintage and current.  I mainly post baseball, basketball and football but if I see something I like, and it’s sports related, it’ll get posted.  I only post a max of 3 times a day, sometimes less depending on how much I have in my queue.
• My Sports Obsession – Wolverines – When I started the above blog, I was posting a lot of Michigan Wolverines stuff so I decided it needed it’s own blog.  I post only Michigan stuff but from all sports.  I only post a max of 3 times a day, sometimes less depending on how much I have in my queue.

Twitter

• @kitty20101 – This account just accompanies the above Cats Are Cuter blog.  When it gets posted there, it gets posted here.
• @jccsst1022 – This is my personal account but I really don’t tweet much.  It’s mostly used to plug my Random Thoughts From A Random Guy blog as well as my A Day In The Life of A Nobody.  My Instagram also posts here but I don’t post to it much either.
• @sportobsession6 – This account accompanies all my sports related blogs.  They all post here as well as some of my boards on pinterest that are sports related.  I tweet here occasionally as well if it’s sports related.  In other words, this account is sports related.

Facebook

• I do have a personal account and I will approve friend request from my readers if I’ve had other interaction with you before.  I’m not just going to approve you because you say you read a blog of mine.  If you’ve paid enough attention, you know my name and know how to find me.
• Cats Are Cuter – This page accompanies the blog of the same name.
• My Sports Obsession – This page accompanies the sports blogs above.  All of my sports pictures get posted here from the tumblr and pinterest.
• My Sports Obsession – Wolverines – This page accompanies the Michigan blog above.  This also gets pictures posted from my pinterest as well as all kinds of stuff shared from other Michigan facebook pages.  Once I get more likes (the page just started), I’m hoping to start interacting with other Michigan fans.
• Random Thoughts From A Random Guy – This accompanies the blog from the same name but I also post humorous pictures from all over as well.

Pinterest – My boards are listed below in order by most pins, to least.

• Female Celebrities – Pictures of female celebs that I like.
• Vintage Sports – All kinds of sports pictures from any sport.
• Michigan Wolverines – Anything University of Michigan related.
• TV and Movies – I mainly post movie posters but also some TV related stuff.

Goodreads – This is a book related social site.  Although I don’t really do anything socially but I do keep track of what books I’ve read or am reading.  I have interacted with some authors and even reviewed their books for them.

Google+ – The only thing I use this for is I post links to my 2 blogger blogs.  I’m not a big fan of Google+, the only reason I post to it is because it’s easy to do when I post on my blog.

YouTube – I do have a YouTube channel but for the most part, it’s my kids and stuff like that, nothing really special as far as a reader is concerned.  I did once vlog but I didn’t like how it turned out and haven’t done one since.

Yahoo Contributor – I have posted a few stories to yahoo.  This just takes you to my profile page where you can click on the articles.

 

I guess that’s about it, feel free to follow me in any of the previous mentioned forums.  I always love to interact with my readers.

Where have you been, Google knows

If you saw my post about camping this past weekend, you know I used a couple of screen caps from the Google Maps from my phone to show the campground.  Well, one night I was playing on my phone while everyone was sleeping and while I was on Google Maps, I noticed an option in the menu.

See that?

Right over there,

to the left.

Down there,

a little further.

Yeah,

right

there.

<<<<<<<

 

 

Location History, hmmm!  So I clicked on it.  And it’s exactly what it says it is.  Remember when I took the kids to the Sox game?

My phone is freaking tracking me.  Now I personally don’t care, it’s not like I’m out on a killing spree or anything.  If the cops ever come knocking on my door wanting me, it’ll probably be of the false arrest variety so maybe my phone can be my alibi.

You see up above, last Thursday.  It tells me what time I left home (6:38 am), what time I arrived at work (6:47 am) and how long I stayed (7:06 pm) and that I drove over to Baugo to watch the end of my son’s game.  How long I was there (7:37 pm – 8:15 pm) and what time I arrived back at home (8:21 pm).

To be honest, I think this is cool as hell.  But as you can tell above, the red lines show I was all over the place.  Although those lines don’t show my route, just a direct line between stops.  On this day (my birthday actually), I traveled 26 miles but it says the only places I were was home with some travel time in between.  What I was doing was running errands, but everywhere I went probably has never been “checked in” before so they didn’t register.  Some of them, I probably wasn’t there long enough to register that I stopped.

I zoomed in on the map.  The bottom right corner is my home.  What I do remember from this day is first I went to the top red line which was the post office, then the little triangle to the left of that is the bank, but neither of those lines go directly to where those places are on the map.  I think I went back home after that so I don’t know where the 1 hour, 50 minutes comes in.

Later in the day, the big loop at the bottom, we drove out to IHOP for lunch and hit Kmart to pick up a White Sox shirt for Samantha to wear to the game.  None of those showed up on the travel, nor do the red lines correspond to exactly where we were at.  I also noticed on the days I go to work and back and nowhere else, sometimes it says I traveled a mile, some days less, some days a little more.  Considering I only travel one route to and from work, I’m not sure why that’s different.  So maybe it’s not as cool as I thought.

I wonder if the NSA receives these reports from everybody’s phones.

A to Z Challenge - M

If your new to this Challenge, every day of April, minus the Sundays you blog about the letter assigned for that day. To find out why I’m blogging about what I’m blogging about, then go here. Today’s letter is

Samantha’s word – Map

I love maps.  I fell in love with them in school and have loved them since.  Only they’ve gotten even better with technology.  If I see a place off the beaten path that I can’t really see driving by, I Google Map it and check it out that way.  A huge fence surrounding someplace, I’m checking Google Maps.  I could get on Google Maps and spend hours on it, and I have.  I’ve found my home, zoomed in most of the way and scroll from there to my mom’s, or work, or any other place I can think of.  Yes, I follow the roads when I do that.  I’ve even zoomed in some places I frequent and looked for my car (Google Maps Stardom).  Have I mentioned I love maps.

Trevor’s word – Michael

Do I think he meant the arch angel?  Maybe the John Travolta movie?  Maybe his cousin?  Maybe the greatest basketball player ever?  Probably none of the above, probably another kid at school.  I’m thinking if I do this again next year, I’ll have to have a little more rules on what they write.  Trevor has thrown a bunch of people in here that I don’t know.

Want to know what the A to Z Challenge is all about? Check it out at the A to Z Challenge blog.

Getting caught up

Well, I finally did it.  It took a couple of days but I have finally gotten through my Google Reader.  No, I’m not caught up on all the reading, I finally went through everything that gets fed there and got rid of a lot of stuff.  I’ve posted before how I am no longer allowed to use my Kindle up on the line so I just keep getting further and further behind on my reading so this has been coming for awhile.  I started with 727 things being fed to it.  The majority of those are blogs with some instagram accounts and other websites that I keep up on.  Now I have it down to 470.  The majority of those are sports or sports card related.  I would guess probably around 300 of them are, and a lot of those I just skim and look at the cards.  I pretty much kept all the sports cards blogs as long as they’ve posted in the last year or so.  I deleted a lot of the mommy blogs, not all, but most.  I found out that most of them I was just skipping anyways.  I also deleted most of the blogs that I have to click a link to go to their site to finish reading them.  It’s just annoying but there were a few of my favorites that I left even though they did that.  Although off the top of my head, I can only think of 2 that stayed.  I also deleted most everything that hasn’t posted in over a year.  I even created a folder that I put blogs that haven’t posted yet this year but did last year, just in case they come back to blogging.  There were quite a few blogs that didn’t exist anymore.  You would think they would at least post a Hasta La Vista post before leaving but for the most part, they just disappeared.

So now that I got those cut down, I’ll see if I can’t actually stay caught up.  You know, after I get caught up.  Of course, I’ve also added a few.  I have a cousin who is apparently starting a blog, he’s only posted once and it sounds like it’ll be a religious blog so if that stays I’ll only be skimming it.  He’s family, so I’ll follow along regardless if I like the content.  Unlike most of my family who don’t read anything I write.  I also have a friend who started a blog about his goal of getting in shape.  He’s posted daily (I think) for a week now.  It’s torture, because I’m jealous that he has the motivation to keep working out and doing what he needs to do.  I’d plug it here but I’m not sure he wants it public or not, he posted it on his Facebook page but those are all people he knows.  If he reads this post, he can let me know if he wants me to plug it for him.

Track – So What

Artist – P!nk

What the hell is that?  A Track of the Day, it’s been awhile,  I’ve had some of these saved up and just forget to throw them up.  So here you go.  Pink or P!nk.  I didn’t realize she used an exclamation point until recently.  My wife got me into listening to her, and I’ve gotten to like a bunch of her songs.  Plus, she’s kind of has a bad ass hotness to her.  Which is kind of what this song is about.

Social Media Addiction

I’ve mentioned it before, but I might be addicted to social media.  As a matter of fact, this is the header on my Twitter account.

“39, father of 4, spouse of 1. Sports fan of 3. Addicted to social media, blogging and sports cards. MS Spouse and a pain in the ass husband. Love my wife & kids”

I have 3 blogs on blogger, 4 blogs on Tumblr, 3 twitter accounts, a personal Facebook page as well as 2 fan pages for 2 of the blogger blogs.  A Goodreads, Instagram, GetGlue, Foursquare and a Google+ account.  I might be a little obsessive.  I’m going to run down most of those accounts above in this post so if you don’t care, then don’t read.

I prefer to run my blogs through Blogger.  Wordpress sucked the few times I’ve used it.  We’ll start with my obvious one, this one.  I’ll give a description of 2 of them because my other blogger blog is private, it is more of a journal about myself and the kids that I keep in case theEx ever tries to go after custody of the kids.  I also guest post other stuff on another blog that I’ll list it here too.

This is my everything blog.  Because I don’t stick to one genre of blog, I have trouble getting those regular followers.  But that’s cool, because I blog for myself anyways.  Even if I am kind of all over the place.  There’s parent blogs, caregiver blogs, humor blogs, entertainment blogs, media blogs, book blogs, ect.  This is all of those and more.  Besides, what am I going to do, start another blog?  Yeah, I don’t think so.  I have enough to deal with.

Stats – 22 Followers (293 posts – 18,884 pageviews)

Obviously, this is my sports blog or rather a sports cards blog.  I mainly post my sports cards here that I’ve picked up for my collections.  I have multiple collections that I try to buy for.  Team – White Sox Collection.  Player – Paul Konerko Collection, Tom Seaver Collection, Luis Aparicio Collection, Dave Dravecky Collection, Billy Williams Collection and Peyton Manning Collection.  So anytime I get something in one of those collections, it goes on this blog.  I’m most interactive with my followers on this blog.  I get way more comments and social interactions with fellow bloggers.  I’ve even met a couple of them in person and to be honest, they are the friendliest of all my blogs.

Stats – 91 Followers (587 posts – 38,448 pageviews)

This is the blog I guest post on.  Any of my Michigan Wolverine cards or stories go on this.  It’s actually ran by a fellow blogger friend of mine, whom I have hung out with and gone to Michigan stuff (games and fan appreciation day) with and have even talked of getting together for a card show.  One other player collection that I have that I didn’t list above is my Mike Hart Collection,  Since he’s a Wolverine, all his cards get posted here.  As does everything in my Michigan Wolverines Collection.

Stats – 21 followers (195 posts – pageviews not available since I’m not the owner)

I originally started a Tumblr account to go with My Sports Obsession blog because I was posting other sports pictures and I wanted to keep that blog sports card related.  So we’ll start with that one.  I mainly use Tumblr blogs for pictures only.  I told you before that I have 4 Tumblr accounts and I do, but 2 of them are anonymous so I’m only going to show you the 2 that are logged with my name.

As I said above, I started this one to go with my blogger blog of the same name.  I post (or reblog) all kinds of sports pictures on this one.  From my main 3 teams (Chicago White Sox, Michigan Wolverines and Indianapolis Colts) to anything else.  I do a lot of vintage pictures to current photos.  If it’s sports related, it gets put here.  I do also posts pictures of sports cards on here as well.

On this one I post (or reblog) anything that interests me.  A lot of it is TV or movie related.  Screen caps with quotes and stuff like that.  Here is my tag cloud if that tells you anything.

As you can see, a little bit of everything but it’s mainly entertainment (Movies & TV).  If you read my Weekly Catch-Up posts, then you’ve seen the type of stuff I post on here.  Anything listed under the Tumblr logo on those pages is from this blog.

Stats – 10 followers (175 posts).

Just for the record, my other 2 anonymous blogs have 148 followers (1,582 posts) and 72 followers (1020 posts) respectively.  Those are both genre oriented.  Shows a difference of what I could do if I stuck to a genre.

While I am on Facebook quite a bit throughout the day, I generally am reading most everyone else’s stuff.  I don’t really post on my personal page all that often.  Sometimes just a post or 2 a week, rarely more than 4 or 5 times in a week.  I do a lot of notifications to my phone but I mainly do that because Facebook seems to choose who I see and who I don’t.  You can search my name and friend request me, but I generally only allow people I know of.  I do allow fellow bloggers on but if you’re an everyday fan and I don’t know who you are then I probably won’t accept.

Random Thoughts From a Random Guy Facebook – I started this page awhile ago but have just started using it more.  I’ve been posting some funny pics and stuff to it.  It always has links to blog posts from this site posted to it as well.

My Sports Obsession Facebook – I rarely post anything on this page directly.  Any post from My Sports Obsession and My Sports Obsession Tumblr blog all go directly to this page.  I do occasionally post something sports related to it.  But it doesn’t really have much interest to it so I don’t put a lot of time into it.

I said I have 3 twitter accounts, you’ll see 2 here.  The other 1 is related to the 2 anonymous Tumblr accounts.  The stats on it are 36 followers (1,791 tweets).  While I do use twitter, I have trouble keeping up with everyone I follow so I tend to just ignore it.  I have certain tweeters sent directly to my phone but not many and most of those are for comedic or sports reasons.  I would like to utilize twitter better but like I said, I just have to hard of a time following everything.

This is my personal Twitter which I also use for this blog.  I really don’t tweet a lot to it, I do occasionally, probably once a week, but a lot of my other accounts tweet to it for me.  My Random Thoughts From a Random Guy blog, my A Day in the Life of a Nobody Tumblr, and my Instagram account all post here.  If I had to guess, it gets maybe 12-15 tweets a week, but the majority of them are from other accounts.  The screen cap above is outdated so don’t look at the numbers.

In case you can’t tell, this one is the one that goes with My Sports Obsession.  Like the Facebook page, I don’t tweet much personally but all my blog posts go here, as well as all of the posts from the Tumblr related page.  Like the one above, this pic is outdated.  I did just branch this one off at end of last year so the few family and friends who follow my personal twitter didn’t have to deal with all the sports related tweets as well.  A lot of my followers from my personal blog should have moved over here but short of my sending them all direct messages, most haven’t switched.  Which of course mean, most of them really don’t follow me much.

Lately, I’ve only been posting about 1 picture a week and a lot of those are of my cat and sometimes the kids.  I just don’t do much in my life to even take pictures of anything.  During the holidays I posted more pictures but lately, very few.

One of my latest things to start posting on my Random Thoughts from a Random Guy blog is to talk about the books I’m reading.  Part of that is the weekly meme (WWW Wednesdays) and part of it was joining Goodreads where I can keep track of the books I’m going to read or am reading or even that I’ve finished.  I’ve always been into reading and I’m enjoying talking about books with others again.  Plus it gives me good leads on new books.

Stats – 22 friends (read 52 books since joining, I have 25 books already downloaded to read)

I used this before and started using it again lately.  It keeps track of what I’m watching on TV, DVD or even the movies.  I don’t know why I like to keep a record of it.  It all goes back to me being a stats guy.  I would love to sit down and go through what I watched 20 years ago.  I think that would be interesting.  So I do it now and maybe in 20 years, I’ll look back and still find this interesting.

This is my newest addition to my social media addiction.  I’m still getting used to it, sometimes I forget to check in when I go somewhere but for the most part, I remember.  I don’t check in absolutely everywhere that I stop, some things I consider private.  But I do most public places.

Stats – 4 friends.

Last but not least (actually it is) is Google+.  While I do post to Google+, I do just because it’s there.  The only thing I post is links to blog posts from Random Thoughts From a Random Guy and My Sports Obsession.  I liked it when it first came out, but it didn’t really take on and most people never joined or use it.

Stats – 29 people have me in their circles.

 

I guess that sums it up in almost 2000 words (sorry).  I guess why I do all this is to have something to look back onto if I ever need something.  Maybe one day I’ll be famous (yeah right) and will write a memoirs and I can use all these to look back on my life.  It is the reason I blog, to have a record of my life.  Maybe all this is an extension to that.  Maybe it’s just an extension of my OCD, who knows.  I really have no desire to popular so it isn’t that.  Maybe I should see a psychiatrist about my social media addiction.  Maybe I can get one in an online chat.  But if I went to their office, I could check-in someplace new.  Kidding, I’m not that bad.  If you have any of these accounts above, feel free to hook up with me on some of them.
