Twitter you say? Um, no thank you.

Twitter you say?  Um, no thank you.

If I had any interest in twitter I would have set up an account a loooong time ago.  While Twitter does seem to still have some relevant applications, isn't it really just an abbreviated Facebook site for strangers?  If I started to care about what strangers were thinking, eating and/or doing I hope I would realise that I just don't have enough to do.

Having a forum for this kind of verbal diarrhoea is a slippery slope to a society full of ignorant, loud, narcissists....wait a minute! (She pauses to reflect on her day: While driving? Yup.  While running errands?  Definitely, though a shout out to the man in the drive-thru at Tim's who paid for my cafe mocha, Thanks!  While at work?  Well, yes.  Could it be that this time is already here?  Yes.) 

I'm am not going to sit here and blame the ridiculous nature of society on Twitter directly, because that would be ridiculous.  I am, however, going to suggest that people as a whole feel voiceless and the idea that you can make yourself heard with a couple of strokes on a keyboard could be very enticing.  It appeases an emotion but only for a moment, it is the twinkie to sadness, the chips to  boredom...Nuts, now I want a snack!

I feel as though I should throw in an Oprah type A-ha moment revelation now but alas I have none.  I have made some musings on society and referenced emotional eating, yup, that's enough Oprah for me for one day.
