You mean I can type more than 140 characters?

Recently, I have come to believe that no average citizen really needs a blog. In this age of Facebook status updates and Tweets, I thought that a normal person with out an agenda propagate or something to promote really needs more that 140 characters to keep their friends hip to what's going on

Comments

I sent Brandi a message a few weeks ago to let her know how much I missed her on LJ. I do. I miss you both

If this was a Facebook entry, it would have a thumbs-up with a little notation that "Kim likes this."

I miss Live Journal. I really, really used to think it was a luxury and an indulgence to spend time communicating with friends here, and I decided I was spending much too much time here. But I'm wondering if, even if it is a luxury and indulgence, if it might not also be a pretty good thing - for all of us.

I liked reading your post and Wendi's comment much more than I liked posting how well I've done in Scramble or noting that somebody found a lost cow on their farm in Farmville. Those things are fine, but they don't take the place of fellowship through communication.

Super superficial

Interestingly, I recently - and quite unintentionally - happened upon the word "twitter" as I perused a thesaurus. The definition hasn't changed significantly - if at all - for the electronic online version to which you refer is indeed one in the same, and therefore appropriately named.

At this stage in my life, I find a struggle for personal meaning in the actions of my life. I want to know that what I did mattered. I suppose it has something to do with my mortality.

It doesn't mean that joviality and humor are unimportant, for they are not. It is an acknowledgment that the things I do actually have meaning. It is my desire that the Ultimate Meaning may be known through my actions.

Frankly, I've rarely used ever Twitter, nor have I any such account for that service. If something's worth saying, it's worth saying with the fullest expression... not a headline or "news minute."

And as you acknowledged, questions are frequently more brief than their answers ever are.

Ever been asked "why?"
