From davidarchie‘s instagram: I know I’ve been away for a bit. I needed a break from social media to get focused again. It’s interesting how distracting checking comments and likes can be. It’s also draining. I needed to get back into remembering how I felt about myself and not caught up in what everyone else thought of me (good or bad). Hope y’all can understand. Been in the studio the last couple of weeks finishing up songs with@casoncooley. It has felt great working with him so far! I’m feeling good about these songs. In the meantime, Here’s a throwback photo to when we went to Pula, Croatia.
Here is @casoncooley’s IG link https://www.instagram.com/casoncooley/?hl=en
Thank you Abrra!

From Abrra:
It’s healthy for David to unplug from Social Media. Who hasn’t said “today I will not even turn on my computer.” ? We know not much will get accomplished once we dive into the internet. 🙂
Just about every night I have 2 rituals that I perform on Tweet deck in @DavidArchie and David Archuleta timelines.
I scroll through and look for “Whatever happened to David Archuleta?” or “What is David Archuleta up to now?” I respond in Quote form with
@DavidArchie is only a search away.

SMH that kids can’t use Google or are they simply too lazy?
As I am scrolling I am noticing lately that porn tweets are showing up tagging his Twitter name and his real name. I am reporting them to Twitter and blocking them. Not going to elaborate on the content, but I don’t advise clicking one. It’s almost a sacrilege to use his name like this. I am sure other celebrities suffer the same abuse of their name, but somehow it feels worse seeing his name shamed in such a way.

Oh boy! “finishing up songs” he says. Not writing, not working on, but “finishing” Yayy At the Sandy meet n greet someone asked David if he would sing just a line from one of his new songs. He gave us that mischievous grin and sang a line from Numb.
Just a thought about the woman who put her hand in my purse to reach David. We have always seen people reaching out to touch David. This was like an extension of that impulse.

Taking a break from just about anything is, most often, a good thing. Funny thing is, when David takes a break from social media we do too! 🙂 It puts us all in a good place.
When you stop and think about how many irons he has in the fire at one time, it’s no wonder he needs a break!! It really is good to hear from him again.
Thanks dja and Abrra for this latest update!! ♥

Interesting how we all seem to follow his lead. I’m not going to lie when I get a notification I stop what I’m doing to check if David surfaced lol. But we’re taking our cues from him and yes David w’all understand 😊

Abrra, I’m sure you know I retweet your tweets. All they have to is google his name…sheesh
I’ve also been reporting and blocking the porn stuff. The amount of thes kind of tweets has sure increased. It makes me ill that they’re targeting him.
Dayzee, finishing songs, he said “finishing” soon!!! James guy still answering tweets to David. Aug 8 will be #workin 😄
Tawna,
I can’t even imagine. Guess he can’t help reading comments and checking likes, he is human though 😉

Another great edit by Pocoelsy for our Sunday puzzle. Fans are part of the team when it comes to promoting an artist.

Thanks Abbra and Pocoelsy for another fun puzzle. Always look forward to the Sunday puzzles. 🙂
When David disappears awhile everyone else kind of does too. Makes me think of the game we played in school…follow the leader. 🙂 But we all need time away from social media…it sure can take up a lot of a person’s time. Was off awhile myself..went to Worlds of Fun with my granddaughter and 2 of her boys. Was fun spending time with them before school starts.
I have never ever seen any bad porn stuff on David. That is just sickening. He is such a moral, nice person, why would anyone do that… Glad I haven’t seen any…
Thanks so much Dja for the nice post. You and Abrra deserve an award for all the time you spend putting good stuff on here!

The owner must have deleted the IG post. I removed the blank IG from #9.

There are fake Twitter account linked to porn sites that offer nudes of him if you click there are nudes of porn. Disgusting! They tag celebrities by name and Twitter name to get clicks to the porn sites. I am sure it is done to many famous people.
I have search columns in my Tweet Deck and they show up there.

I too am taking a break. Still with the cat in Las Vegas and will be here another 12 days. Already I have set off my son’s car alarm, messed up his computer and demolished his garbage can, but the cat and fish are surviving so I’m OK.
Good to have the David puzzle today and nice to be able to come here and visit with friends, as my only source of conversation here speaks feline. Frankly, this cat is like a nagging wife that makes me happy I was never married to a woman.

Hey there, Dayzee, are you having an awesome time?!? 🙂 You are a good Mom to be willing to travel that far to tend a cat and some fish. 😀 Well, now that I think about it, we traveled to our daughter’s house last summer to tend kids and dogs and pigs. At least I had kids that could talk to me and help me do the laundry and feed the dogs and pigs. Enjoy your time, and stay connected here!! {{hugs}}
Oh, and the garbage can. They’ll get over it.

Oh, Abs, that is terrible. Can’t understand why people do things like that to anyone. Ugh! Hope I don’t run into any. A few years I was typing in Walmart.com and didn’t notice that I had left out 1 letter (don’t remember now). And when the site came up it was terrible…showing real bad porn. I was shocked and clicked out of it and have always made sure I spelled right since! 🙂
Dayzee, too bad I couldn’t have come out to visit with you. We always had so much fun shopping and going to get frozen yogurt! 🙂 Hope to get to again someday. Had to laugh at the nagging wife comment… 🙂

Thanks for your empathy. I really am happy here. Lots of places to go and things to see. As Jan mentioned I can walk to the Yogurt store and do so every day. Will probably be shopping for a wider wardrobe. And it’s true if you text Abrra she will send you a pic of David. That will fix anything.
Tawna, when I found I had run over the garbage can I was devastated. But then I thought of some of the things my son had done when he lived at my house. Perhaps I will assemble a list for self defense. Haha.
When I first started looking for David on the internet I ran into a horrible place. It is difficult to erase those images from your mind once you have seen them. Hard to understand why anyone would include David in something like that. Now I pretty much just come here and everything is beautiful.

Jan, Glad you haven’t run into any of those places and sorry Dayzee that you did. I keep reporting and blocking like Abrra. Crazy’s out there.
I put a direct link to the teaser. I was listening to it last night and my 17 year old grandson asks, “Was that David at the end” lol He recognized his voice, I played it again and he liked it! Those last seconds of David are beautiful. I really hope this doesn’t turn out like the Hannah Montana or Brooke White featuring David songs because I will be disappointed. I’ll need a David only merrygoround 🙂
It’s happy anniversary to Crush today! Its been 8 years!
