Blogging is a pain in the butt. There, I said it. I enjoy that others enjoy blogging but it seems like so much trouble. It's a hard habit for me to start and I'm suppose to be enjoying this too? Blogs are suppose to give focus to your thoughts, else it's just another Live Journal entry. I'm going to do my best to care as much as I need to but no more than I need to either, cause nothing else is working. I'm constantly blogging in my head anyway, it's just getting it out. Which leads me to Twitter.
I tweet as much as I feel is relevant, but it's also a place I get my news on the world, my communities, and my friends. Mostly I like having conversations. It's simple and quick. It's also nice now that more of my friends have joined, well, chat more. Many of them joined long ago but it's only been in the last 6 months or so that they've actually gotten into active tweeting. I blame Dale North.
Dale is one of the busiest ppl I know. Seriously, busy. Getting in contact with him is nearly impossible. Texting, sending pictures, Facebooking him are all pretty long shots, and emailing him is completely, utterly, totally, frustratingly useless. The only way to know what's going on with him, and others as busy as him who I never get to really see or chat with, is thru Twitter. So, when Japan went thru the giant earthquake and tsunamis, he was there, and the only contact we had with him was his tweets. It was so reassuring and comforting to know, instantly, that he was okay. After that, after the earthquakes in Japan, a major crisis in the world, did many of our friends hop on and get involved. Sometimes it's the saddest things that happen to make something beautiful happen. Tho chatting more on Twitter shouldn't be compared to I dunno, a rainbow. Or a double rainbow at that.
