My academic prowess has made me notorious in my own right. Before my latest internet epiphany, I had started to rely less on social media to make statements about my identity or ideal self. My own activity by these means had amounted to nothing but trite and unexciting blather for people with too much free time. I hadn’t been participating in these channels because I wanted to, but because I felt I had to. Grappling with the concept of autonomy, I had been replacing meaningful interaction with mechanical monotony. Filling the void with nothingness wasn’t cutting it. As knight in tennis shoes and shining armor; Bruce, you’ve introduced me to social media as a shapeshifting portal for personal satisfaction, but educated me to not compromise the identity I’ve worked so tirelessly to plan, design, and implement. I was enlightened to the possibilities of enhancing and extending my image instead of sagaciously [superciliously] stuffing it.
You hailed me at the gates to the universe of Web 3.0.
As knight in tennis shoes and shining armor, Bruce, you've introduced me to social media...
and not "shining armor; Bruce"
