Twitter Introspect Part I

For two years I have been involved in online social networking. I believe I am signed up at about 50 different social networks if not more...I have seen many things online. I have had bad experiences and good ones. I have had scary experiences and joyful ones. I gravitate towards people who have a style all their own...I looove that. I'm not really the type of person to do something just because someone else does it to see if it will work for me also. But every now and then I admit, I will. Who isn't like this from time to time. Most of the time, I watch...I pay very close attention to what is and isn't happening or what is and isn't being said. I also keep the thought in my mind that if I can tell when a person is/is not being sincere...surely others can detect when I am/am not being sincere also. And its ok...sometimes I have had moments when I was not being sincere...who hasn't. Sometimes I do and say things to feel a situation out...who doesn't.

I do this because I realize that there may be times in life when I have come to a conclusion that was not accurate and/or for whatever reason changed with the passing of time. This happens. This is life. We live and we learn. But,one thing I don't do or try not to do is plot. Not saying I have never done it before in my life...but it's just not something I care for. Definition of plot: a secret plan or scheme to accomplish some purpose, esp. a hostile, unlawful, or [unsavory] purpose ~ dictionary.com. It's been my experience in life that 1. most plots backfire... 2. plotting is mostly carried out at moments of insecurity... 3. plotting is something unhappy people do...it's very unhealthy...I don't too much believe in taking shortcuts, yes it saves time but sometimes you dont really learn as much as you would have if you took the longer route. 4. plotting eventually wears thin or people get caught up in it... 5. My mind is just not wired like that...Several blogs ago, I spoke about foresight, hindsight, concious and backbone...ironically this stemmed from something I tweeted and posted on facebook and other networks...

Few weeks ago I noticed something on twitter that did not seem/feel right...so for the past two weeks I have done some things on twitter to feel that situation out - not bad things or anything to hurt anyone but I had a feeling about something and I wanted to see if a truth would come out and it has...well some of it anyways...Throughout this time I have sat back and watched. I am still sitting back watching from time to time...just not too much because I am letting the situation play itself out and throughout this process I am journeying on a query of introspection...some of the people who tweet back and forth with me on a regular we dont even follow each other but will tweet back and forth all day and night long, just because it is fun for us...at least its fun for me...its very relaxing and on many days a source of comfort...there are no agendas, no hidden purposes, just tweeps having a good time hitting that tweet button...some tweets/tweeps have touched my heart in a very big way...I love passing smiles, art, hugs, jokes, laughter, shoutouts, comments, good info...it's what tweeps call a tweet party...we have a genuine ball...I be crakkin up lol and I learn alot...these are the times that remind me of why I love twitter so much.
