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!
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?!
