Quit Twitter…Again

Jump to Comments

My final tweets speak for themselves (read from the bottom up…unless you’re one of those avant garde types that likes the novelty of getting a story in reverse order):

Twitter is gone, gone gone. Deleted my account. See all my last tweets (archived in friendfeed) for why…might turn it into a blog post…
Overcommunication. Hyperactivity. Societal…ADD it all up (time online + gadgets) = addiction. Online or on drugs, it’s stealing your life.

Ultimately I’m just not social enough for social media. Most of my interaction must be meaningful, deep, authentic, personal, one-on-one.

@introvertzone Nice to meet you, too, but as a fellow INFJ, I think you’ll understand if I don’t stick around. It’s all or nothing for me.

I keep feeling convicted. Especially now with the Firefox Timetracker. It made me really face what a time suck the internet is.

You can’t have it all, but technology makes us think so. Well, it helps talk us into thinking that. Nickel and diming our lives to death.

I think I’ve decided I don’t like having a public life, even if it’s only a few people. Starting to get that whole reclusive writer thing…

Then again, I should never make big (?) decisions during hormonal flare-ups. Still, my neck hurts. And I haven’t blogged in forever.

I think I feel a purge / detox of all social media coming on. Might disappear for good or for a season to immerse myself in real life.

@ricklondon Are Far Side fans that rare? I’m not really one. Just liked that particular cartoon. But I wouldn’t follow me because of it.

And the more people I follow, the more information that consumes my time. Time I should be doing, not thinking and reading in snippets.

And what’s with all the quotes? Can’t anyone be original anymore? Nothing new under the sun. Get off this borg before you’re assimilated.

Still here. Feel like I’m on information overload. I’m scared of society’s technology driven communication OCD. It’s devaluing.

Communication promiscuity. Cheap sex. Cheap talk. Everyone is hooking up with everyone. Yet so little meaningful intercourse.

And if instant communication weren’t so easy, it might actually force me to craft all these fragmented thoughts into something of substance.

Who are all these people and why are they following me? Go away. I mean me. And some of you. You know who you are. Well actually you don’t.

I mean it’s ludicrous that I should spend precious time making decisions in a world that doesn’t exist, i.e. whom to follow back, to block.

I like twitter at night because it’s so quiet, but I’d really prefer to be under the stars somewhere without wifi or electricity.

Seeing a pattern of stuff going crappy the week of Halloween. No matter how Happy Harvest or Reformation Day we make it, it’s still dark.

And yet you act like a complete moron, freaking out, as though God were not in control and neither were you, of your emotions, that is.

Do you ever have a 24 hour period where it’s one piece of bad news after the other but on the scale of world suffering it barely registers?

I haven’t felt very twitterfull the past couple days. I’m craving silence but not finding it. Even inside my head.

    I think that was only 1/1,000,000,000 of all the thoughts that race through your head every tweeting minute……..nonetheless, I love your heart and mind, some of this mental breakdown post is quite funny…….(cat ears)

    How did I miss your sweet comment? And of course you’re right, my love. Thank you for putting up with me.

    Of course this was short lived. Started tweeting again. But I’m being strategic this time–importing updates to the other vice I returned to (Facebook).
