Another Inspection

You want hear my thoughts about Twitter? My feedback is that Twitter kind of boring to me, even though I am basically twitter newbie, and I just signed up this month but so far I am not very impressed. I mean sometimes I do response to other people’s posts if I think they are interesting, but most of time, I feel I am observing other people’s live every minute of the day. But I have to say there is a beauty of Twitter—If you do not like someone’s tweets, you do not need to follow him or her.

Most the posts from people I am following are about personal thoughts and what they are doing throughout the day, and so they are living in teleological time. Examples are like “I am waiting for the subway”; “more and more middle terms are coming” or “they lack of sleeping”. I also notice that people are using cyber shortcut words, such as Jennyhapper posted her twitter on October 18^th “Just want to say gd nite to everyone. ” and in some other posts such as LOL, Mid, OMG and so on.” These posts make their unique way of being interesting. Some of mine post are actually belong to chaotic time, for instance, I post “Yankee lost” today, but I knew that from yesterday night, I even watched the entire game, but I do not understand why I post one day after.

“The Garden of Forking Paths” is a short story written by Borges. I feel reading the story is like being brain-washed. Time line is jumping everywhere, perhaps it is not the story problem but I am not very into it. I think the story is telling the readers about how time affects people live, it is like the movie “Inspection”—when you think something important is happening right now, it might be just an choice that lead to many different results.
