No Tweets Here

I won’t be signing up for Twitter. I have dozens of reasons for my decision but the main one is, I don’t want to be obliged to be responsible to any other type of communication.

I have a cell phone but the only person who knows that number is Mr. Pop. I consider my cell phone to be for emergencies and little else. I detest talking on the phone and a ringing phone is obnoxious.

As for Twitter, I can’t think of a single person I know or don’t know that I am so interested in that I would want to follow their every thought and deed all day long. Hell, I’m not all that interested in my own thoughts and deeds so why would anyone else be?

Nope, posting a blog is about as connected to the rest of the world as I intend to be for the foreseeable future. If I want someone to know what I’m doing at any given time, I’ll just do it the old fashioned way, I’ll email them.

I hold no animosity toward anyone who finds Twitter interesting and fun. I do hold animosity toward everyone talking out loud on their cell phone in a public place, especially when I can hear both sides of the conversation.

I feel that just because there is something “new” that doesn’t mean I have to want it or need to have it. Life hands you enough obligations why take on one Tweet more?
