A quick peek inside my mind

Pinterest

yes, the best way to look inside of my mind is to look at my Pinterest & i mean really look at the page. don't just get happy and start pinning away yourself. look at my boards & the organization they are in [yes, i organize my boards]. you can see how i process & group information. you can also see which ideas are new and interests me the most [these are the boards at the end that may not have much substance, yet]

social media is such an interesting view into each others' minds. i love to look around at how other people see the world. as a result of our new mindset to post, post, post, you can tell which issues are important to those around you & really see what information catches their attention. 

i know a person that upset some of her closest friends by what she posted during 'the month of thanks' for the thanksgiving holiday. she revealed more than she had intended, by the order of her thankfulness. some may call her shallow, some may call her friends shallow, but i know one thing for sure, this view of her would not exist if it wasn't for social media. 

i try to be aware of the things that i post. i want to be authentic and true to myself, but i am a woman known for her quick change of emotion. i try not to post emotionally charged posted, all except for my poetry. this isn't an easy tasks. i am aware that i may be judged in the future by the things i have posted in the past. 

my opinion on the fairness of my personality being questioned by an employer [or stranger] based off a post is moot. it happened to me in the age of MySpace. right from the beginning i have been keenly aware that i am judged by people i don't know. 

all i can do is be myself & know that it's good enough. i challenge everyone to follow suit. 

Time passes

It has been over a year since I have last posted. There are so many things going on in my life, but I don't blog the way that I used to - back in the day of MySpace. Ah, MySpace. I am not ashamed to say that I miss that glitter filled wonderland of social media. My page with its own sound track & yes, you must listen to my music when visiting my page. But, really, I miss the ease of having a blog right there on my social media. Now, it's 140 characters & studies prove that people won't read long posts (my own reading of my news feed proves this point).

I have this odd habit of starting new blogs. I currently have 2 other blogs that lay dormant & somewhere in the vast space of the inter-nets, I have a blog that I started before social media was a coined term; long before Facebook or MySpace. In the area of dial-ups and AIM, I had a blog. I miss my journaling for the masses. Because really, that is what this is. Self-release to the public.

Ah... I found a list (you know how I love lists)

http://www.gurl.com/2013/08/15/internet-trends-stuff-from-early-2000s-1990s/

I miss so many of those things and some not at all... it is missing ICQ and then there was GeoCities *sigh*

I wonder if I am now blogging in a early 2000 style. It feels old school to me. 15 years ago is old school, but that makes me want to cry for a different reason. I have been on a computer since 1987. Let's not talk about old school computer stuff, people, I started with DOS.

So, what is THIS blog? My issue lays in the original collection of entries on this blog. It was created as an outlet for my creativity. I don't need something, so... limiting *eek* but I do need my blog. I guess that having one or two readers wouldn't be so bad either. I know that Beth, Ron & Crystal will be out there somewhere - at some point. Ron, what was your favorite blog platform? What do you guys miss from years on the internet?

For now, I say good-night. Soon I will write more. Soon.
