I don't want to either.
twitter, FB and all the other SM sites that have followed, imo, just lead to more scattered brain function.
Before when life was simpler we had time to devote our minds to a few major things.
We devoted our energies to a few tasks and we did them justice and did them well.
I am not one for half-measures, so a continuous division of brain resources to the point that I am just posting six word sentences to maintain presence to an ever-widening grind of social sites is not a quality expenditure of self.
Now, we are fighting off the compulsion that pulls us to 'keep with the program' so as not to miss anything.
Well, I found that having to check in on this and check in on that, post here, there and everywhere, establish profiles, upload photos etc to various and sundry sites - was making more stress and chaos in my life than I wanted and required to be a happy doobie.
It was hard. VERY hard to resist and FB was the first HUGE challenge and hurdle. But after I learned what was was going on with google's data-mining, marketing manipulations and privacy shenanigans, I determined that I was not going to be a pawn in someone else's profiteering game.
I was purposely late to the FB world due to a resistance to getting caught up in yet another cyber sucker-hole of time and energy but eventually spent a great deal of time setting the whole thing up only to, w/i a few months time, delete and shut that whole scene down.
There comes a time when one must make choices.
I'll admit it was hard to wean myself but when I think of how much more I am doing with my time now, how much more creative I am now, I can honestly say I am much more centered and way more involved with the process of living.

Justin, as a performer, is in a different situation and almost has to stay on top of twitter and everything else, to remain relevant and abreast of the times.

..... oiiiippppsssiiie

luna succinctly broke it down to brass tacks, in a nutshell and pretty much said just what I rambled so laboriously on about in, not a six but a fourteen word sentence:
"Twitter, FB and etc are just extensions of good ways to waste our time."

as she kicks her leg up in the air like that kooky character on SNL.

The last #JHQA has proven quite helpful.

A week or two ago, I had to sightread a new song. There were a lot of leger lines (4 and 5 per note were not uncommon), and I had to arpeggiate fast. Something told me to quit trying to control it and let that "other part of my brain" take the wheel, as it were. I did not fare that awfully.

It reminded me of a time as a child when I decided to be a "left-brained" musician. It bothered me that if I knew a song I would not count out the rhythm, but play by ear. Almost half a century thereafter, I had discovered one reason why I am so horrible on piano.

Then, this week in Sunday school, we were discussing Psalms. The teacher asked what some verses meant, and as I read them, there was no question in my mind David was talking abut the miracle of the water cycle. I saw the metaphor, having just learned from Aristotle that poets communicate that way. The discussion leader gave me rave reviews.

Am I getting cultured or what? This is like the taming of a shrew. It's like I got a calling to join the human race - which reminds me of a song, a song that takes me back to a concert. I don't recall where, it may have been in the Northwest. I recall I had cut and dyed my hair and was dressed not unlike a Sesame Street character ...
