I rediscovered my twitter account yesterday and tried to make sense of my limited to 140 characters "micro blog." It was a quick read! My twitter is something I remember in fits and starts. I hardly use it. I don't even remember why I used it the times I did.
To revisit thoughts and read how past events unfolded and flourished was amusing. Tricky part was decoding a couple of cryptic tweets to figure who I was tweeting about. M? Who's M? Is it the same M that is now one of my best friends in the whole wide world???? I was able to solve a few mysteries.
I even answered a few tweets from Future JNET to past JNET.
Ahhh the things one does to entertain oneself...
I just wanted to follow corpse flower updates and figure when to return to the Huntington Garden. I found myself playing time traveler. Past JNET tweeted about random things like dreaming about silly putty. EXTREME silly putty. ???馃樀馃槣馃槸??? Past JNET also tweeted about my beta fish dying and that I buried him among the roses. I had forgotten about that.
I have no idea where I paid $1.69 a gallon for gasoline.
On January 22nd, 2009, I tweeted that the world was remarkably happy together. Obama had just become president. When was the last time the world seemed collectively happy? It's been a while.
The world is a different place now.
Rediscovering Jnetsworld by Past JNET in twitter was finding a time capsule buried under forgotten ground. Maybe you will meet the same traveling magician when you reread your past. Do it.
What would you say to your past self?
JNET
