I'm back running, pedaling or lifting at the gym. Wishing that I was running outside or hiking somewhere versus moving but remaining stationary due to the California rain which we are in desperate need of. Don't get me wrong, I love the rain. Everything feels so clean after a good downpour. I liken it to a good night's crying session. Everything feels better and lighter in the morning. Sometimes it takes several night's to diminish the tears and feel the after effect of purging.
I havent' been good in keeping up with writing. Instead I have been filling my days with reading, exploring and connecting with people. I guess you could say that it's one of my resolution. Get out of my head and get in to yours. I am out hearing your stories, listening to your adventures while I am experiencing my own.
I am taking comfort in watching, observing and listening to my surroundings. The places and the people that creates and reverberates the good energy is the place where I want to be. Sometimes I look within myself to release the good vibes but more often than not, I look to you to inspire me.
These days, I am coming up empty and so with great humility, I am reaching out to others to give out their own personal high fives of good energy my way. Change is on the horizon. I am diving into the unknown. More to come of this later.
I was asked to be one of the Maid of Honor for a dear friend of mine who's wedding is fast approaching. Always the bridesmaid and never the bride. This is my third time in this role and getting quite good at it - practice makes perfect. Maybe someday I'll write a book about it along with other short stories that I have compiled through the years. I thoroughly enjoy this role though. All the fun planning and none of the commitment :D
I have gone down the path of marriage before but I was too immature and didn't really know what I wanted. I was just going through the motions until one day it finally hit home that marriage was not for me at 25 yrs old. So, three bridesmaid's dresses later with a resume to evince I will once again walk down the aisle but not to the altar.
Humor me:
If you have 'Twitter' and your entries are 'Tweets' then does that make you a 'Twit' or a 'Twat'?
As I was impatiently tapping my foot and getting rained on while waiting for the train home the other night, I overheard a fellow commuter saying that the train was running late due to some mechanical issues. He read the feed through his Twitter account.
This got me thinking to ease up on mocking the universal toilet poetry website a little and see it for its practical uses. Live feeds of pertinent information such as traffic and weather info in my case.
I'll be the first to admit that I am Twitterly challenged. I see Twitter as a bathroom wall full of single liners about what I should read, have to read or not read at all. Endless links to other links that when you eventually get to the page, you've forgotten why you were in it in the first place. It is a place to post shout outs, let downs or slams while you pee, stand or both for the gents. It is a place for clever poetry, ads, self promotions and introductions. This medium of drivel is what I can compare to as toilet humor streaming live.
A fork is great when used for its purpose to feed and nourish my appetite for just about anything sweet and yummy. On the other hand, a fork can also be used as a mean to impale someone. The fork itself is neither good or bad. It is in the hands of the user to decide the fate of the object. Which leaves me to this - Twitter is a medium to spread facts or rumors, it can deliver goodness or slander, tweets are posts to be taken with a grain of salt because most are not perused. It is in a sense a wall of graffiti for which cyber Sharpees are used to the author's free spirit.
These days, it seems like every business out there has their own Twitter account. If I were a PR company and I'm hitting the streets trying to land a consulting gig, here's a list of companies that I would solicit to post their tweets. This is my version of toilet humor.
