Twit - just Twit

So now the 21^st century unit of measurement has been fulfilled: I have changed my Relationship Status on Facebook to “In a Relationship” and linked my girlfriend’s page to it.

I still have minor issues with social network sites and blogs… and Twitter. Especially Twitter.

“I am on the back porch.”

Really? So self-absorbed are we as a society that we think there are people out there that really give a shit if you are eating Cheetos on your back porch? I would LIKE to think that Twitter was designed as a quick way of posting something to trend, like, “Just ate at Tino’s. Great food. The new chef can really rock the authentic Mexican cuisine!”

Nope.

No such luck.

The masses have decided it is a quick way of posting something that only the poster would care about.

“I just had EBS and feel much better.”

No one wants to hear that! I certainly don’t care to know the regularity of your bowel movements! Keep that shit in you! Seriously.

Wow.

Digress much?

Ok, so this post will be on BOTH of my blogs.

Point:

Holly and I are now, officially, in a relationship. We are together. We are building to a new level a mutual companionship. She is mine. I am hers. We are, from a few days ago forth, in a monogamous liaison with no end in sight. It’s the best I have felt about this type of thing for a long time.

She is perfect for me.

Although…. She has admitted that she likes Twilight.

Ummmm….

Ok, I can live with that. After all, I like… I like… I’m sure I like something as embarrassing. I KID! I’M JOKING! She is truly perfect for me. She accepts me for who I am and I accept her unconditionally as well. Dare I say “love”? Some would say it is too soon, but I still believe in love at first sight.

So I use the social media to proclaim it to my friends and family. The intent of Facebook (as it has evolved, at any rate) is to mark events of significance (or post pictures of cats doing silly things with mis-spelled and grammatically incorrect equally silly captions – can’t really tell) and let friends and family know about these changes.

But Twitter… That is just crap.
