Hipsters and others in the know...





Surely we  have realized, by now that knowing the acronyms for techno lingo should be second nature to most of us.

LOL, TTYL, BBS, OMG, etc. and dare I say WTF? I suppose better than to use the actual words to express one's expletive emotions has gone the way of email?

Sure if you're not on the inside of all the initialization of what's what in the techno world, than my friends you may be up the proverbial creek without your paddle, CWYP, ya know?
Of course you do, because you are the ones that keep up with all that jazz and feel superior for it!

I cannot say honestly that I am so up on it all; that is all the other modes of sharing and saving things etc. Acronyms are child's play in comparison!
Why, one might ask, or not.
Well, let me tell you...
I have no idea really.

It's not from lack of communicating with others or if not actually chiming in to conversations online, looking at the ones that catch my fancy...the provocative ones do and the mundane do as well... I am if nothing else an equal opportunity snooper of what’s training on my Facebook page.

I do not tweet, although I did join Twitter, right now I wouldn't be able to tell you why I did that if I wasn't at all interested in using it.

Another thing I did do too, but ever since I have been feeling a bit paranoid is I did join Pintrest, and Geez as soon as you do that everyone starts to follow you and they inform you of this as well as the fact that you have been following others, really?
In actuality I do not recall following any of the people that they say I have been.

This Pintrest seemed like almost a logical fit for me with my background at LIM a marketing fashion, decorating and journalism and business etc. college.

And I love to look at befores and afters in interior design and exteriors as well as being a life long DIY’er, one would know that to see others concepts can be quite enjoyable.
But somehow knowing other people are watching what you are doing and possibly following your tastes is a bit unnerving. If I have the concept right they will only do it if you decide to ‘pin it’ to your likes and so since I joined formally I stopped.

Which is not entirely true, since I do believe I think I never got started, and who would  want anyone else to be standing over you figuratively looking at what you think is attractive in furnishings or architecturally ?
It is to me sort of like cameras in your home, you know what I mean?

Although, I always have professed of being an open book…and this is rather benign compared to many of my self revelations and sharing topics…So why the weird reasoning, gosh, you got me.

In conclusion and I do know you all were waiting patiently for me to conclude… I have been trying very hard to keep up, but as soon as I learn about one new method of communication or socially sharing like mindedness experiences in this safe environment, it all changes!
Some of you out there know what I mean.

What gets me though is when so many decades my senior years have been adapting so well that’s when I do feel out of the loop and lesser than… oh well!

On that note of we can only try our best, 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 we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
