The power to think on your feet and be positive...

The best part of being on FB is learning about new and different people from all over the world. Today alone I welcomed new FB friends from Ireland, England and Greece!
How cool is that?
Anyone who puts the kibosh on meeting new people from new places must need their head examined, anyway… in my occasionally unjust opinion.

I have friends in New Zealand, Australia, Israel, Hawaii, gosh from all over the place!
The only problem I am finding is how to keep track of who’s from where and their personal information becomes scattered not unlike my brain. But it would happen to you too if you had over four hundred friends, to be exact 404 at the beginning of this writing tonight.

Although, I don’t understand but would love to try how the ones with nearly five thousand or more, which by the way, they have to start all over on another account at that point to continue, how they keep them all straight?
In actuality it is always accessible at a click of a key to here there or anywhere by each person’s name; still confusing though I would think.

I still have not changed my goal of a million FB buddies by the end of the year, but as you can see by the Facebook restrictions of only five thousand per person and although I am moving along at a nice steady pace it will still take some time to acquire all those FB PEEPS as my friends!
Motivation is a wonderful thing though, plus I have all the time in the world.
Well, not really, who does?
But probably a wee bit more than most; since I am somewhat of a bum.

You know that Ashton Kutcher was the one who first started the idea of a million followers on Twitter and he succeeded, but so have many others since, and it was I who thought why not on Facebook?

No one knows until they try, correct?
Listen if all ideas were so simple most people wouldn’t bother at all with them.
We all could use a bit of a challenge now and then, true?
Of course we could.

Last night I tried getting into some of the online IM action by putting my two cents in again in those quickie conversations.

I did come across a bit of information that was not totally dull from that director fellow that I have mentioned before.
Apparently, he was up in Boston in meetings with an actor friend of his discussing a script. And so although I did not learn who the actor really was, since I was not familiar with him even when his name had been dropped I did recall his movie that was mentioned, a Clint Eastwood flick; quite good I might say, who doesn’t like Clint? They were working on some sort of project but I do believe it was not a strict work environment more of a casual get together for bouncing off ideas and a discussion of concepts; sounded actually like quite a bit of fun. Boy, would I have loved to have been a fly on that wall. What a learning experience for someone who enjoys creative writing!
Any-who, those days are numbered for me; since I am getting up there in age and no one, takes me seriously as a wordsmith, because I am lacking in published material with not much in my resume that would give a writer respectability and legitimacy and an appeal of not being too iffy a commodity to take a chance on by a major publisher or studio.

The only thing I can do is write for my own enjoyment and share with whoever reads this nightly drivel. At times I think am I entertaining the masses or boring them to death?
But in reality most of the time I don’t think about my possible readership at all, only what I want to say to explain to myself what is going on with me, purely selfish and non concerned with the world. Living in my own roller coaster emotional lifestyle from extreme highs at times to low, low, lows, but knowing at all times that I am not alone in this thing we all call our lives, you ask why?
Because the wee bit of feedback that I do get on occasion lets me know that!

Now in closing for this evening… open up your mind and your heart to new ideas and new people and allow them in and enjoy those moments of learning whatever they can teach to you…I know that I will be looking forward to that as long as none of it is mean spirited, because then I will have to turn all offers off.

On that not that interesting bit on logic I will say to you all happy night to all and to all count those blessings and we will too!
