I havent been active on Twitter for months and months because i have just been too busy and to be quite honest, i had become burnt out on it, overwhelmed by it. So i took a Twake from it but from time to time i would check in and check things out to see if i had any important messages and to keep up the best i could, with Gary Mckinnons situation, hoping to see some very good news about him, but of course, i didnt really :(..anyhow, i went into Twitter last night after realising i needed to do some "housekeeping"
..
ive known for a long time, that with twitter, for some folks anyhow, it is all about the "
numbers" ...its a numbers game, of how MANY followers can i get vs. the quality of followers..i still dont know how you can follow over 1000 people and interact with them positively and appropriately and ongoing?! and i was following 2001(my highest because of the follow limit, which is imposed by twitter and i now kind of understand why they have the rule/law/limit) and i had a follower count of around 1600 or 1700(cant remember now, im having very very serious "brain fog"(now affectionately known as "Brog" by myself and my cousin)...so anyhow i realised that some folks will follow you just to get *you* to follow them back, then they may stick around for a bit, til they think the coast is clear(honey, my coast is ALWAYS clear mostly LOL, because Twitter is not my *life*, i do have a "real" life and its very busy, with formula, crying, laundry, crayons all over my wall and a 2 yr old who is refusing to keep her diaper on - shes the only baby i know who has to wear her panties/underwear on the *outside* of her clothes, in an effort to keep her layered up , to hopefully prevent her from being able to strip down naked -shes an expert at it and quick as a flash!) so anyhow...they wait...then when they feel the time is right, that im(and YOU!) are looking the other way and BAM! they unfollow you lol....that in itself doesnt bother me really........what does bother me are these programs that tell you when someone has unfollowed you, i guess on somewhat of a regular , if not *instant*, basis...but even that doesnt bother me the most...what bothers me the most is to get onto twitter and check to see if someone has said something to me, only to find "@so and so unfollowed me"(tweeted by the person you unfollowed, at you, saying *your* name) then it says using whatever method they use to find out this info, as IMPORTANT as this info is mind you! *rolls eyes*.............in fact it is sooooooooooooo important that they feel the need to try and literally SHAME/EMBARASS you that you had the bonkers big enough to UNfollow *them*!? people, people...Twitter is not the end all/ be all to everyone!...if you had a problem with the fact that i unfollowed you, all you had to do(since you care so much about our "relationship" right? because we talk all the time, right? because i have been absent on twitter for almost 6 months and not once did you send *me* a message asking am i ok? (which is another reason i have been AWOL from twitter, the car accident where my car was totaled in november and i was extracted from my car by paramedics and put on a wooden backboard and taken by ambulance to the hospital where i laid for almost 4 hours in agony, while undergoing ct scans and xrays and tests..)but anyyyyyyhow...if you had a problem with me, or the fact that i unfollowed you(and by the way, i *accidentally* unfollowed a few people last night, my computer kept freezing up and after the deed was done, i couldnt undo it nor see the names because they were gone!) all you had to do(because you care about me right?) was to send me a message asking if something happened..but no, so far, two people have tried to shame and embarass me today on twitter because i UNfollowed them...called me out (along with other folks names too that had apparently unfollowed them) doesnt it sound silly? and to make it worse, i had actually sent a tweet to all of my followers few days ago saying how much i appreciate them for following me, even and especially in my absence from twitter, for hanging in there with me..and i also sent a message saying that i had accidentally unfollowed a few people and that if i had unfollowed them to please let me know!...which leads me to believe, i *was* following some, who i unfollowed , who actually were and are not even following *me*?...O.o lets think bout that for a moment...nervy yes? me thinks so...but its moi being called out LOL...and the wheels on the bus go round and round..round and round..round and round...ahhh if the worse thing i had to worry about was whether someone unfollowed me(on purpose or accidentally) if thats the most important thing going on in my life, id be so grateful! i wonder if some of these people actually have these unfollower apps hooked up so that they text them on their cell, or call them(even better yay!!) immediately upon the moment someone unfollows them, so that they can "handle their bihnuhss"? LOL...>insert that western whistley sound they play when theres gonna be a gunfight in the old movies like john wayne< ...HAHA ........."howdy padnuh...i gots werd a yellowbellied no good tweetin sunuvasapsucker Unfollered yuh, lets get our posse an get busy huntin that varmint down and make'um sorreh they ever tweeted in the ferst playse"!......let the sharpshootin' commence!......so anyhow, while i worry and grieve over the people affected and those who died at the mercy of the horrific earthquake and tsunami in Japan, and worry myself literally sick over Gary McKinnon and his families desperate tries to save his life and actually for him to *have* a real life again with no fear and stress and worry...and while i campaign, advocate for the Elders of Pine Ridge, worry about my daughters cleft palate and whether she will go deaf and worry about my own health and worry about my family and my friends(the ones who "follow" me no matter what) i realise thats the difference between me and other folks...i actually care, i *want* to follow people i care about, get to know them and help them in any way i can, even if it means i suffer..i want to make a difference in others lives , i want to make a change in this life , i want to *be* the change and i dont want anyone to suffer or have pain or loss, i just want us all to have a much better life, the best life...and and and...............and some dont..
