Today, I decide to write an extensive blog. Lately, i have been nano – blogging on the Facebook and Twitter. I do update my status at least one time a day. And when I mean update, it doesn’t mean with statements like “am at work”, “is sleeping” or “is satisfied today”. My updates are one sentence abbreviation of a much larger story that I had experienced that day or moment. Yes, I’m observant, and every unusual thing intrigues me in a deeper sense, on how and why it had to wake my attention. I don’t get much time on my hands as to write a longer story about it. Or its just that, not that my list of priorities always are smartly arranged. But hell no, I’m not lazy.
I’m a very active Facebook’er where I shares my experience/express my views through images and status updates and links. I do this for several reasons. One of them is being I as an active social being. I also like to show off my stuff. I would like people to correct me or give me ideas so I can improvise. I like to share. I owe a lot to people who shared their ideas with me. I have used their criticism well. I can differentiate between constructive criticism and destructive criticism. I consider the criticism as creative, if I find that it makes sense at some level. I consider the criticism destructive when it make no sense or are against my rules of conduct.
I believe that one has to have boundaries and borders. Your borders are strengthened with your opinions, decisions and beliefs. Your boundary is your firewall, without which you are at the risk of being easy victim. Didn’t you learn at school that prevention is better than cure?
I also think it is clever to leave your Facebook status not updated, than updating it with stuff, your 200 odd friends are going to read and think “err… and so what?!!!”
Yes, I know that this particular blog has no structure, but it has a few things you can get clever of.
All I wanted is to blog today, and I have just done it.
