So I figured seeing as I joined facebook, I might as well also join twitter. Twitter always irritated me the most because I wanted to start something similar my second year into estrip and everyone told me it was stupid and no one would want to write about everything they were doing.

Same thing with my mobile restaurant review site from 2003-04. I guess I was just on mobile internet before it caught and then got totally consumed by my job at Roswell by 2005. If only times had been different or I had lived in a more online city. Not that I hate what I am doing or anything but I just feel it could have all been so different.

So the real point was that when I went to go sign up for twitter I chose the account name paulsidekick and it told me someone already had it. I was so pissed because I use that name for everything. Its like Tony's enknot for me.

So I went to go check it out and it was me after all. Apparently, I signed up in May of 2008 for twitter and just forgot about it. Either than or another paulsidekick was waiting for terry to get home with money.


The thing is I can't figure out how this ties into my much more interestingly described weekend on estrip (e:paul,44454) or any of the month of may where I don't mention twitter at all

I was reading about the swedish suicide bomber story and they mentioned he had a link to a facebook group that had burning towers as their profile pic. So I looked them up and sure enough, it exists. Then I realized I must have still had facebook login cookie set which probably they have now profiled me as a terrorist. I hate facebook already.

Apparently, he had a swedish wife and left behind children. It seems so insane to me that anyone would care enough about anything not directly happening to them, to want to blow themselves up.

This guy doesn't fit the hollywood driven vision of what a terrorist should look like at all. I found it interesting that it also mentions he was seeking a second wife at muslima.com There is a site for everything now.

He gets so excited about anything glitter based.



We spent the whole day christmas shopping for my parents at best buy. I hope they like their gift.

Then we went to pick out a tree for my mom at Adams. My father is done with real trees but my mom still wants one so my father asked me to get one for my mom. (e:mike) and I are really useless at making decisions like which tree is the best one to buy.

So I signed up for facebook. I played with it for a little bit. It did a good job of suggesting all the people who would be friends with me but then I felt overwhelmed with having to choose and interact with a lot of people who I am not very connected to. It reminded me of why I avoided myspace but it was worse because it has the potential for making you feel guilty about not being interested.



I found it ironic that my capture phrase was "reaming liberation."


At first I tried to integrate the "like" button with the blogs but it ruins it all if people started just "liking" and "commenting" on facebook instead of commenting on the blogs itself. Eventually, the facebook stuff would get out of sync or change format and the associated information would be forever lost. I can't seem to find one good integration point.

(e:libertad), you will be happy:

Buffalo, NY (WBEN) -- As of Saturday, December 11, "robo"-calls are subject to stronger regulations in New York State.

Under a new law which takes affect this weekend, New Yorkers who've signed up for the state's "Do Not Call" list should no longer receive automated-message telemarketing calls.

I am still torn on if this means I should get on that list or not. At first my mom said yes but then I heard it was some sort of scam to collect more phone numbers.
