Twitter and Hypertext

At the beginning, Twitter was just an interesting website. However, it did turn out to be like a vent for me. I would want to make a post if there was something funny or I don't particular enjoy. It turn out to be a place I can literally vomit in anytime.

Clearly, people who uses twitter normally complain about their life mostly. And people who post new tweets at any time of the day and about anything of the day. Such acts can be categorized by entropic time. Where peopless complex emotions and the desire to share just comes out of nowhere.

A common thing that I obersved it that when there is bad weather. Everyone would normally comment on it. Which means that at ceratain days and particular times we would share the same feelings towards the same thing. Even though we did not knew each other or at the same place it is interesting who we can connect with one or another. Such acts are closer to teleiological time, when certain events can lead to a predicted behavior.

The third I obeserved was that peoples life are normally guided by a schedule. And one things leads to another. By going to work or school we have assignments that are assigned everyday. There are goals that we all are striving to. It is like playing a game, and every so often when we have enough experience we level up and go off to a harder place to level up. Stellar time can be observed when people are talking about what they have to do all day and the day after.

Although I think my life is very orderly like any other classmates of mine, I believe my tweeter showed that my life events are leaning more towards completely random and chaotic. There are many reason that leads my life so. Firstly, I live by myself therefore life is unorgnized to begin with. My parents are in Taiwan, so basically I govern and have control of my own freedom. Secondly, I am not too good with remembering what events are happening. They usually just come up and suddenly I am jus over flowed with work. Or suddenly I have to go somewhere because I forgot about I had to go. And Finally the two compenents add up results an fun and random life that I go through.

During the week that I used tweet I found it very interesting to search peoples tweet by filtering them by the word "FML". Only people whose tweet contains the word "FML" would show up. And all the tweets that showed up were funny or sad incidents that happened to them today.

Tthe sense of continious cycle of different possiablities came to mind when I read the Forking path txt. The geocities link to the hyper txt did not work so I just plainly read the online txt version. It seemed like Borges was explaining with the story about time how time and events can be circular and free flowing. How the time forkes and there could be different outcomes in every way we look look or decided to do things. The complications with time and the future reminds me of the matrix in a way which everybody life is intertwine but set. However even though it is set if you were the one who knows about what is real or what is not you could change your future. This whole things makes me think about faith in life. Even we do not know what to expect next, and whether the choices we make in life are the right ones. The importance is appreciaiton while you have faith in what you do.

It is much easier to say than to actually do that, but I have always been trying even when the outcome was not an happy ending. Hopefully an end is a new start for something else.
