There goes a thought
I liked it when Twitter was just a “me” thing. You know how you discover a song and it’s your own for a while until it’s used in a commercial for a cell phone company and everyone begins to have it as their ringtone. Yeah, Twitter is like that now.
This sense was heightened following all the articles about celebrities who tweet that come out every two weeks. Plus, the big hoopla over the congressmen and women who were twittering during President Obama’s speech last month. Is it necessary to do some much on this?
Well, in a way I’m just adding on to the fad. And I call it a fad now because it will probably become obsolete once some other programmer comes up with a way that thoughts can appear instantly on a computer screen without touching a keyboard. It will become like MySpace when Hollywood took over.

Not daily
I decided not to participate in NaBloPoMo this year. Last year was a pain because I couldn’t figure out what to post and I had skipped the sixth day (slightly). The problem is that I am going through a lot of personal adjustments that are reshaping my daily activities and time. Thus, this is the reason my last post was more than a week ago.
What’s the big deal about posting daily? Does it mean that entries will be watered down for the sake of forming 30 entries every 24 hours? Actually, there are some great blogs out there that do a great job at that. I’m not knocking anyone who is participating in NaBloPoMo, but it’s not for me.

One Hundred & Ninety Three
It’s time for Friday’s Fest:
Appetizer
Do you consider yourself to be an optimist or a pessimist?
I’m less pessimistic than I used to be, but I’m not a full optimist either.
Soup
What is your favorite color of ink to write with?
Purple, but it makes me feel like a third-grader when I use purple ink at work.
Salad
How often do you get a manicure or pedicure? Do you do them yourself or go to a salon and pay for them?
Once a month and I do it myself.
Main Course
Have you ever won anything online? If so, what was it?
I won six months of DirecTV in 2001 from a fantasy basketball tournament with Sports Illustrated and CNN. However, I didn’t own a house then, so I couldn’t claim the prize.

In which room in your house do you keep your home computer?
In my home office, the second smallest room in the house.
