Tweet Walking…Twitter Diary

Wow, this week has been an amazing week on Twitter…So many great tweets out there…so many amazing people with awesome information, creative dedicated imaginative focused individuals all with something to share. Every day I have learned something new and found something I could use to make me a better tweeter and a better person…a quote here, a blog there, an article…all of it is just so amazing to me. Here is a few clips about some of the people I find to be absolutely amazing…please note I blog about my 50 favorite tweets of the week on http://tweetglobal10.wordpress.com/ please note links to your twitter pages and the actual tweet that gave me that warm fuzzy feeling is on there)

I blog about music , artists and DJs on http://blacksoulrhythms.ning.com (this week’s blog is a review on artists Monica, Jaheim & Raheem DeVaughn and some twitter peeps as well ), I read about new people doing different things on http://www.clydevilleswing.com/ (@1JennaMarie is featured on the current blog there…which I think is cool) I blog about the Kewl experience in reference to the magic of Dr Kewl on http://thekewllounge.ning.com/ (a very chilled laid back kind of social network). AND I participate in discussions on this site http://thereddoorproject.ning.com/ But enough about this…

As you all know I am a heavy retweeter but what I learned from the first favorite on this list is that I am mixture of numbers 4-8 lol…who isn’t a mixture of a combination of things and experiences. Number 2 gave me an aspiration and their data impressed me…thank you guys for RTing this…Number 3 made me laugh…I love a tweet that makes me laugh, smile and is an honest perception. Number 4 illustrates twitter’s ongoing efforts to improve their system YAY! AND Number 5 gave me a one stop place to get numerous blogging ideas, I loved it!

Twitter Diary

Few blogs ago I spoke on how I felt in my twitter space. Now four weeks have gone by and I feel good when I go to that place. The stuff I’d like to share with you has to do with what it is like for me to be in there on today, I am no longer new in twitterville and am well on my way. Tweeting is fun and there are cool people tweeting great stuff all day long, I enjoy saying #gratitude and getting my #shoutout on. I have learned how to shorten my status’ really fast, can update my facebook, and use tweetdeck, FINALLY … I am chillin’ and truly having me a blast.

Tweeting is not for everybody, I still say, BUT I’ve stayed the course and it has gotten easier for me day by day. Now I am doing my best to carve me my own tweeting niche. May not be quite the tweetballer yet, I won’t lie… but at least I am somewhere amongst the active tweeters and not just sitting on the bench watching as a few million tweets go by…or so I feel lol Check out My Favorite Tweets in the box on the left I say, its reserved for those tweets and tweeters whom I find to be the absolute best on any given day …and it is constantly updating ttys! :)

I am also a blogger for Black Soul Rhythms Radio where they have the best music 7 days a week! http://www.blacksoulrhythms.com/AND for follow back list site...

Getting to know Black Soul Rhythms Radio DJ Kewl!

Dr Kewl is a Black Soul Rhythms Radio DJ that plays it all (Jazz, Hip Hop, R & B and House) but his talents do not stop there…On a recent trip to his website http://www.kewllounge.net/ I found: An Internet Radio Station with Kewl Music and Podcast downloads http://drkewl.podomatic.com/ (YES!). PLUS: a learning center, a game room ( invaders, bowling, hoops, Mario, and my personal fav Pac Man!), educational facts, words of inspiration, cool pics, links to facebook and twitter, and a store…just a buhzillion things to do. There is even social networking http://thekewllounge.ning.com (Yes! Of course I signed up…new places, new people, new connections AND familiar faces….Floetry is there!). But let me share some things with you about the man Dr. Kewl.

In his very own words Dr Kewl explains the Kewl concept by stating:

I became an online DJ in Secondlife on September 16, 2007 I began my career with Black Soul Rhythms radio on November 10, 2007. DJing for me means I get to share my love of music. The thing I love most about being a DJ, is being able to slide between your ears and tickle your mind so that you move your body. My greatest online and/or DJ struggle is getting people to understand that being kewl is the best way to live life.” The KEWL concept actually started back in 2000 while listening to "Criminal Minded" by KRS-ONE. [The artist KRS-ONE] said "… KRS-ONE means Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Everyone." I [remember thinking] wow, I want a cool philosophy like that.

That night while surfing the internet I came across the word kewl, which in internet slang stands for the word cool. I decided that I would take the internet slang word kewl and turn it into a cool philosophy. After two months of working on the philosophy I came up with [KEWL] “Knowledge Expands the Way we Live " The only way to be successful in today's society is through Knowledge Expanding the Way we Live .” This is something I truly believe in. In January of 2007 Knowledge Expands the Way we Live was established as an educational consultant organization geared toward showing people the skills necessary to gain knowledge, so in the long run they live a better life. (Floetry smiles real big and wonders if Dr Kewl is over 35 and would like to date me)

As I read these thoughts from Dr Kewl I can’t help but be further mesmerized by the man. Not only is he a he a soulful, talented mastermind of music but he cares about sharing his talent AND his knowledge with the world. I personally think that’s very Kewl! Dr Kewl can be heard inworld at Sugarhill on Wednesday evenings from 7-9 p.m. EST. Web listeners can tune in to his Black Soul Rhythms radio show at http://www.blacksoulrhythms.com …Check him out and share with me your thoughts… Oh yeah, you can follow him on twitter (@DrKewl) and facebook (The Kewl Lounge) too…the man tweets the most amazing quotes! geesh almost forgot that lol... silly me, Catch u later :)

Music In My Head ~ The Gospel via Floetry Catnap

Gospel music is very cool to me, because without it many would not even bother to hear or read the word. What I fail to understand is folks who think that playing gospel music is the answer…it is NOT, least not always anyway. Imagine being delighted by soulful sounds when you have no desire to break down & walk the walk that the lyrics suggest, or at least try too. Without the words, all you are doing is listening to the beat…you can do that with Jill Scott, Eryka Badu, Floetry and/or Mary J. To me they are gospel preaching, spiritual, truth speakers also. Living right has nothing to do with music last I heard BUT some songs contain lyrics that motivate you to do right. Lil Wayne, Drake, T.I. and/or JayZ are also some of my favorite truth speakers—oftentimes amixed between the profanities & derogatory statement tracks are jewels of inspiration and positivity. May not get much airplay, but they are there…lol

Gospel music can shape you but so does your upbringing and your karma, beliefs, and opinions. You can change the name of a product as many times as you want too, but if you don’t change the contents it still is the same product. You might classify fun as work or work as fun, but when it all boils down to it…everything is open to interpretation. But this is just how I feel and you may not feel the same way. See what I feel is, if you say the same things to yourself then the only one you really convince that the words are true is yourself really…. To say the same things to everybody might sometimes convince or convert some people but rarely will you convince and convert all the people. Music can always be classified as gospel or truth, but the gospel is not always classified as truth and/or music. Still, I love gospel just like I love all other kinds of music. All music moves me in some way or another *shrugs* BUT this is just me.

I know this may sound circular to some, but for some I think this type of commentary is needed…namely me lol. Just my take…:)
