love palpable twitter synergy

annie — Wed, 19 May 2010 08:12:22 +0000

I couldn’t do this in 140 characters as Twitter allows per tweet so I decided to post it here because I felt it was too awesome not to memorialize.

I tweeted the following picture with the caption: Love how grand the earth is. Lush green can grow through the toughest concrete.

@DavidWeedmark retweeted the pictured addding: Just @so_you_know Love it. Always a fav metaphor on why I don’t fear the end of the world. Life is irrepressible.

I liked that so much that I retweeted it back.

And then @VJaugelis retweeted the above and added: RT @DavidWeedmark RT @so_you_know Life is irrepressible/reminds me of the Wump World

How did you bypass Facebook altogether and start gliding on Twitter?

How did you bypass Facebook altogether and start gliding on Twitter? This has become my third most frequently asked question; therefore, I decided to formally address it in this space so I can provide the one asking a link if a quick drive-by answer does not suffice. This is not a debate, please. I have just been asked this way too many times. If you like both, good for you. If you like Facebook better, good for you. Do you.

I do not like to reinvent the cyberspace wheel and don’t want to post something another has already said, especially if it is better researched and/or articulated. At the end of this I will provide you with some useful links ...

A Short Note On Birthdays

I don’t understand how anyone gets disappointed when someone misses his or her birthday–like the actual day.

I don’t even correct people when they get the day wrong! But they don’t get as many cool points if they miss the month completely…

Not because you should outgrow celebrating and hence shouldn’t mind but because doesn’t everyone celebrate the entire month? They don’t? I do! Not only do I celebrate my birthday the entire month—I even celebrate in July when I was conceived (no need to ask rental units, your parents, just google birthday calculator and something on point will come up, I did several years ago and don’t recall the website now but do know it ...

Have You Ever Wanted To Do This?

This picture was taken around July 12th 2009. I wish I could do it again. Soon. Craving the sun. California = sunny = big fat myth. This picture was sent via email to some friends along with the following email:

the picture below—i just had to share. I had to text and find out what the heck these thingys are called even though i had seen them for ages in kansas and california and so many other places (thanks melissa for texting me back and letting me know what they are called—a HAY BALE!). well, this picture was taken a few days ago in south dakota….near chamberlin….in route to one of the native american reservations. ...

somethings will never change

So, while my father is fixing the fire in the fireplace as I finish my plate of dinner nearby, he recites:

Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant ! Let the dead Past bury its dead ! Act,— act in the living Present ! Heart within, and God overhead !

And then asks: Who wrote those words?

I make a guess and it is wrong. Not Shakespeare even though the last line is strangely familiar.

Longfellow.

Ah. Of course. Why didn’t I think of Longfellow.

He adds: From Psalm on Life.

His encyclopedic memory never seizes to impress me.
