#Tweet On

#Tweet On

Tweet On,

Be a Twit,

Who cares anyway?

Who gives a...

Bleep?

Tweet On,

Your Voice is heard,

Twittersphere is buzzing

with just a few words.

For a trillionth of a second,

Your tiny voice it squeaks.

MSM and Pundits whine,

Looking for your leaks.

You count your writing Characters,

Sometimes in your sleep,

Can say a lot with 1 Hundred and Forty,

Can make people laugh,

and weep.

Tweet On.

Thursday Gaz round up...

After awhile,

I can only ignore just so many stop the pipeline updates.

Being a citizen #Fracktivist

takes more than a high speed modem, a google account and 

a stupid rant.

After hearing the blowhard biased Journalismus,

Have been repressing

rage

irritation

hostile anger

mild hostility

mere annoyance,

demand for censorship/equal time.

oh, what difference does it make, anyway?

note to self: let go of petty haters, people who put others down.

Just wanted to get that out of the way early on. 

You know, if I ever affect how someone feels about an issue,

or clarify something, or share an emotion, music, art, a story,

then my work is done. I am not out to make a living at any of this.

That is not why I blog.

I blog because it connects people, it logs my thoughts,

it shares my views, literally and figuratively,

it is living history, the kind I wish I had when My grandparents were young.

It is a shelf of stories, short enough to enjoy and move on,

knowing a little more each time it is read or viewed.

So, for what it is worth in my amateur world of reporting, for free, unemcumbered by conflict of interest save

saving the planet and our water, lakes, streams.

First a link to seven days, the local paper:

Next, a piece from public radio:

From Burlington Free Press:

Too tired to keep going...

Ending with a witty quote attributed to Canadian owned Vermont Gaz rep:

Best quote from VGS so far: “We’d be laying the proposed pipeline just right of this road…actually right where you see all of those ‘stop the fracked gas pipeline’ signs.”

Friday Nacht Musik

For this friday,
the official YT video of this great song...

Holly Williams
Wow...


*********************************************************************************

Then an aside, As I search for Cafe Society, Cafe Societe
in a world so big,
made smaller by the likes of twitter.
I know tweeting is lost on many,
perhaps not seeing the power of 140 characters,
in a moment of time.
My favorite scene in It's a Wonderful Life is when young George Bailey reads the sign up on the wall...
Ask Dad...He'll know what to do...So True, Frank Capra, a beautiful human moment,
reading an ad that changes everything.
Some days, like yesterday, when I got a retweet from another Tweeter,
It was an affirmation,
not some evil conspiracy, trap or devil's hand.
I felt like it was the beginning of Cafe Society, virtual communication,
sharing without intimidation or fear.
No secondary motives.
just words.

Friday Night Musik

Friday Night Musik

And searching for Cafe Society, Societe, 

Twittersphere

Virtualized Society,

Yesterday waa still searching for the right selection for Friday.

Tuned into imus on WABC live (on line)

 Broadcasting From NYC.

Heard this beautiful tune from Elton John, link from yt

Distilling the spirit of NYC.

This concert just after 9/2011,

A powerful concert.
Currently Spanish Harlem suffers after an explosion
Eclipsed by the missing plane,
Like the mudslide, too real, too sad, victims too poor.

My mind drifted to Jesse, always, thinking of NYC.

Sometimes imaging him and me catching a bagel & lox at a deli

While he triple parked.

I had gone over some thoughts about why New Yorkers

Are cautious twitterers.

Weiner is number 1...his faux pas exposed the exposure,

Twitter likewise reflects the society you live in.

Better table this and get posting...

Happy Friday!

Be a Twit 2

Be a Twit 2

Do you know how to?

Be a Twit, I mean,

a Twittering machine,

Tweeting

your opinions, photos, quotes,

music,

links to interesting

stuff.

At least it looked so

at the time,

which thankfully passes,

The Twitter Universe 

Changes daily with

the Masses.

Like flocks of birds,

The Twitterers

fly together,

in the virtual sea

of data machines.

So fear the flock not,

Be a Twit,

Tweet your song,

As the flock takes to flight,

Fear not, you belong.

Love the NASA History Twit-pics...
like this one.

last night is NCIS x 2 night
CBS has options to watch online too
well we still watch the shows a second time to get
the whole plot figured out...mostly.
Then Vegas is on which once again we will watch re runs later online.
abc cancelled Last Resort for which I am deeply disappointed
We will finish watching all 13 shows. It is a masterful
political science military civilian thriller.
other than that, after cancelling our satellite tv, we watch pbs cooking shows,
you tubes and the cats and blogging
Twitter has been fun for me, randomly landing on photos like this one.
 

Twitter Weather

Twitter Weather

Today's twitter expected to be

fair and cloudy,

building strength

with intention,

messages of truth, faith and

hope,

some

blowing of steam,

like a pressure valve,

some

just wanting to have

their voices

aired

in a sunny place.

Others

just having a good time,

still others,

this is how

they talk now.

(do i call that fair or cloudy?)

All I know is, when there is a

storm

and we have a

signal, an icon,

a widget and a

wi-fi,

we will talk

and it will be a nicer day.

Be a Twit

Oh, give it up and tweet already,
Twitter,
Tweeter,
Be a twit.

Hard sometimes to conjugate the tweeter, twitter verbs,
Are they really words?

Messages, so short you can read in less than a few seconds,
i.e.,
a little longer than human attention span.

So be a twit &
tweet
on twitter.

For your 0.15 millisec of fame
