The one "new" thing I'm not quite sure about is twitter! I have to agree with Bill O'Reilly about twitter... it may very well lead to the dumbing of our nation (if abused-- which it is!). In fact, facebook's twitter/status update can be one's vain attempt to spark interest in daily activities such as lunch or taking a nap. A part of me wants to click the comment tab and write, "I don't caaaare!" Dumb and Dumber style while another part is slightly interested in the fact that you had a taco for lunch... which then leads me down the path of wasted time. Considering I update my status occasionally and have a blog, I'll digress from strong opinions for fear of being hypocritical :)
Topics I would twitter about today:
1. My weight gain (too much? too little?)
2. Parenting advice
3. The View- wishing I could be Elizabeth's "helper" while maintaining a sense of humor
4. Historical fiction novels I love to read
5. Pregnancy
6. the 12 minute turtle mile I now run at 7 months
7. Every move and kick my baby makes
8. The constant planning and preparing for our move to Charleston/graduation/having a baby!
9. Parenting philosophies
10. Baby feeding/sleeping books
11. Why I'm a republican!
12. Why staying grounded in the Bible is so important when it comes to forming opinions about life.
13. Food
14. Family
15. Annoyances
16. Love
17. Work
18. Money
19. Prayer
20. Needs/Wants
I have thought about all of these topics today (plus dozens more) and find it unbelievable that our minds are constantly working through and thinking about something... whether it be an opinion, analysis, or to do list. It would be interesting to review every thought we have in a given day to determine what kind of people we really are, and appreciate how complex our minds are.
Maybe people that twitter constantly have a better grasp :)
