Back in 1976, a great guitarist named Tommy Bolin wrote a song called "Post Toastee." Basically, it was a warning to the world not to follow the path of a number of his friends and contemporaries who died of drug overdoses. He was very concerned it would happen to him and sadly, that came true.
This blog isn't about that though. It's really a call for everyone to go ahead and post everything to Facebook even though there are many people who disparage those who put pictures of their dinner on their Facebook page.
In other words, don't be afraid to post that picture of the odd shaped toast you had at a diner.
Your friends may say derogatory things about your posts under their breath, or behind your back, but do it anyway.
I have written a number of books (five published) and countless short stories that appeared in various magazines, but I admit, I will never be a famous celebrity or star.
So although I may have sold several hundred of those books, no one will write a best-selling memoir about me. Nope, not going to be on the NYTimes list any time soon.
So what you post on Facebook, Instagram or any other website is your memoir.
They say that things you post on the internet are forever.
So all those locations you posted from, all those meals you took a picture of and posted all those pictures of you and your cat/dog/family will become the chapters of your memoir.
All of this is why you should not hesitate to make that post. Post daily, post everything you like or are interested in, post that group photo, post that shot you got of a parade you went downtown to watch.
Post away. (oh, and don't go Post Toastee. We don't want to read about that post).
