Comment on Twitter Vs. Facebook – Why Twitter works. by Erick Cardoza

Erick Cardoza — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:06:09 +0000

Thanks for the mention, I certainly agree with how twitter enables us to find others who we may or may not know but share common interests.

To re-enforce your point I thought I’d share a quick story…

Today (Feb 01, 2010) I was told by a friend of mine that one of my tweets was published on a local newspaper because they searched for mentions of the weather, which I happened to make as I was driving through bad highway conditions.

Now, this newspaper does not know me and I don’t know them (I know their name) yet, because of our mutual interest in chatting about the weather (so Canadian) they thought it would be useful to publish my comment.

I highly doubt that they would have found my comment if I had made it in Facebook but because of the nature of twitter, I got to be famous for 15 milli-seconds today.. woop!

Comment on The Funny Things We Believe – Christmas Countdown – Day 6 by PB

Good one Lots of beliefs that are just plain silly, others need renewing. I was about 23 or so when I discovered the real meaning of christmas – not the materialistic aspect, or family get together parts, but that it was a anniversary remembering a unique birth. The birth that split history in two (AD & BC). I now have a new belief I try to renew evey year – i use the marketing hype to remind me of how much I would like to give something to the lord (he was either lier, lunitic or Lord). I choose lord – what does the king of the universe need for his b-day? the one thing he does not have already – my total self. I do think we do reciprocate every kindness – it causes a reaction when someone is kind for no reason. I however dont react out of guilt, or inverted pride (inferiority), but now out of shear gratitude… nice to get ahead of the curve though… rather than reacting to kindness, be the orginator of it…

Hmmm… not sure how to connect this to Christmas though bro.! Perhaps John is the hero, selfishness is the goat in our water. Reminds me of Bruchco story. On one level, I guess buying goats through world vision should come with a waiver and instructions !

Comment on Tips for Dealing with Family – Christmas Countdown – Day 9 by PB

PB — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 06:40:46 +0000

Good tips – the 3 day rule has never been an option for me so I adjust. Maybe because i dont stay with or know any yidish, german, swedish, japanese or french family. Plain old canadian bacon. One proactive thing I do is to not make it about me. Escape – go bowling, skating,etc – just get out and break up the 3 day routines.

I have learned there are four kinds of holidays. One where you visit family on their turf(yes, the most stressfull as you have to adapt to all their timeframes and habits)(by the way the complexity goes up dramticaly when it is in-laws), #2 is with your own tribe (wife/kids), this one is all about being for the kids, #3 is with the wife – best one. Fourth is the by yourself… So for me, the christmas holidays that go past 3 days, I fit in some #4 time where I can do tip #6
