D'you Ever Feel Like This?










...because I sure as hell do.

    Um, nope.
    My Blog is my only online presence and that is deliberately anonomised. (Though it wouldn't take much effort to track me down -if some hypothetical stalker wished to.)
    I did start a facebook profile when the school reunion was immanent, but now check it once about every 3 or 4 months and delete the enmasse pokes, prods & invites to pray for someones pancreas unread. I'd rather be self indulgent & go to St. Pancreas. Again.
    So, while I can see a litle of the appeal, I'm yet to join the twat-o-verse. I'm a notorious late uptaker of technology, I figure some other clown can spend his hard earned on the bleeding edge - I'll wait til the bugs are ironed out. Worked a treat with Journalspace!

    My blog has reverted to my public calander, and somewhere to write a little story if something interesting happens. And a common link to a few cool blogs for people who put in a lot more effort than I do :)

    I once had all five but have down-scaled to blog and youtube only. I really don't get twittering. Why should I expect others to find the minutiae of my life (or their own) endlessly fascinating?

    Painful, innit? I'm told it's a nice way to have a group conversation online... but I don't get to sit down and converse. If I'm sitting down for any significant time period, I'm writing, editing, reading, or researching.

    And honestly... I'm a dad. My life is not exciting. Today I've put the kids through breakfast, dropped the boys at school, refuelled the car and checked the tyres (left rear has a slow leak. Annoying.) done the grocery shopping, returned home and tackled some laundry, made a large pot of stock, read and edited and emailed, made string-prints with the Mau-Mau and cut them into butterfly shapes which will later become a mobile for her bedroom... did some minor upgrading and maintenance in the laundry cupboard...

    ...it isn't interesting, y'know?

    Works better as a blog, especially using same as a record for the kiddies later. Twitter? Well, sheet. I'd have even LESS time then, wouldn't I?

    Naaah I don't do all that shit. I do have a facebook page - primarily to keep contact with my first three sons. I do contribute to a few online forums - that's enough group conversation mostly. My blog died with JSpace, and the fact that my life is like yours a bit FH i.e. working stiff/father of small child = pretty fucken uninteresting reading.

    To me Facebook and Twitter are for people who don't have the attention span to blog. I agree with Natalia about the minutiae and I love the term "twatter" NoWhereBob. That's awesome.

    And I much prefer to read about your life in a more descriptive form Flinthart. It IS interesting!

    Twitter can be very useful, i had one of the best meals I've ever had from a contact from twitter.

    "left rear has a slow leak. Annoying." I suspect the work of voodoo mechanics. Is the left rear wheel of a toy car in any of your friends houses sitting on a tack?
