Interest!?



Let’s take apart a very common word, i-n-t-e-r-e-s-t, and its vast meanings… attention, notice, curiosity, concentration, awareness, concern, importance, significance, relevance, consequence, hobby, activity, pursuit, pastime, leisure activity, leisure pursuit, appeal, attraction, fascination, catch your eye, advantage, benefit, gain and profit…or we could simplify it all and just call it as I see it ‘FACEBOOK’!

No? Oh really, give it a few beats of overindulgent thought.

Read the definitions slowly and carefully, has the light bulb gone off yet, now?

See, now you got it! But I knew you would since you are all brilliant!

And as we all do know...

This item that seduced many of us for the last several years has created within us an outlet to share our most personal concerns, must I repeat myself; the mom in me says do it,…attention, notice, curiosity, concentration, awareness, importance, significance, relevance, consequence, hobby, activity, pursuit, pastime, leisure activity, leisure pursuit, appeal, attraction, fascination, catch your eye, advantage, benefit, gain and profits to be had!

You all now realize that this was a marvelous magnificent plan to allow the world to have a meeting of the minds and connect all in one fabulous locale!

Many have not a thing in common, but oh boy, some have more than you or anyone else can well imagine!

Over these many years of utilizing this newer method of connection that gave birth to other newer ways by a name you all know, ‘Twitter’, and I do know they are not from the same INC., but the reasoning from Facebook more than likely spurred the others necessity and desire thereof... And that's my story and I am sticking to it.

More immediate communication, but minimized to a one hundred and forty character directive and that is one of the many reasons I am still not on Twitter, that specific limitation that would be difficult for me to adjust my ways to. Just that sentence alone was more than that with 191 characters and including spaces 232, see and I refuse to skimp!

Maybe someday if they wiggle a bit on the use numerical issue. Or if I can get faster on tweeting out multiples of the 140’s, one after another.

I bet you are all shocked that I have not joined the many of you?

No, and that is very good that you know that some of us holdouts are the purist in the group.

Today, I got an offer to join, ‘Twitter’, by email, how archaic?

LOL!

But in retrospect, I thought that joining ‘Twitter’ was a personal individual choice, like smoking pot or joining a cult or some such other habit that I am trying hard to quit?

LOL!

Perhaps, too much Facebook? Never!
LOL!

Or like using ‘LOL’, way too often in tonight’s blog offering.

Sorry, a nervous habit.

On here?

That’s totally ridiculous!

I suppose we all enjoy talking at swift paces, but being clever that fast has gotta be a bit of a stressful gotcha?

Or having PICS to tweet?

I still have my adult children, hate that oxymoron, putting the kibosh on that, and they are more than allowed to make those decisions about what I post of theirs and I totally respect that, besides only one claims me as his, don’t want to make that none.



On that note of over sharing way too much, (dangerous, but nothing new here) allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with you know who and we will too!

 

Next time please be here or be square, ya hear?!
