I don’t get it.

Twitter. I just don’t get the point of it. After deciding to get myself off of Facebook because it’s stupid I went and started myself a twitter account for some unknown reason. I looked into it years ago and I thought it was stupid then but I constantly hear about it in the media about people Twiting? Twating? Tweeting? Whatever the hell they call it, I don’t know, but there seems to be something to it so I went and made an account again since the plugin to syndicate the website supports it.

Yea… I still don’t get it. Is it supposed to be like a status update on Facebook or something, only shorter? That doesn’t sound like a bad idea since it prevents people from posting all the crap that used to get forwarded through email that has infected Facebook like a plague, but I tried following a few people and it seemed like it was a whole lot of short URL links to stuff and multiple hashtag things and @ symbols to other users which is I guess how you communicate with other users. The way it looks to me is that just like Facebook it’s full of garbage and lacks information or interesting content on a regular basis. Here is a good example of what I’m talking about. “@KansasFan6969 Workin out weights are stupid heavy lol #rippedpecks #meatheaddouchebag http://go.to/gU53KWc”. That isn’t a real twit but it is pretty representative of what i saw. The link would of course be a link to a picture of the weight he just lifted up, something no one cares about, and isn’t interesting enough to see in person, much less shared with others. I guess it’s just another confirmation that I’m old, I might as well go outside and shake my fist at the passing clouds. Anyway if you’re on Twatter and want to follow me hit me up at @stevekorgie, don’t know how much I will do with it other than having it update when the website gets updated.

I’ve got a four day weekend coming up after I get off work this morning, nothing special planned for the weekend really, I just had some vacation that I had to get used up that wouldn’t roll over to the next year. We are going to take the boy to the children’s museum, I’m wondering if its the same place that I went to when I was a kid, I don’t remember all that much about it other than it had a working old time telephone switchboard that you could make real calls with (within the museum anyway), and some other activities that I can’t quite remember. This weekend Jessica’s parents are coming up and spending a couple nights, Saturday Jessica and I are going to Omaha to see some kind of show that is being put on by some of her college friends that she hasn’t really seen for a long time. Angry Women is what it’s called… I’m lying, it’s not called that, but that’s what I wrote on the calendar when I couldn’t remember what it’s actually called. Don’t know what to expect but I believe that there is some fire eating involved. Sunday we are going to celebrate Jessica’s moms retirement by doing something, don’t know what yet.
