Twitter Feeds and angry Followers

What is it with people and having issues with other people using Twitter to hold conversations?

Twitter is a social networking website that users can text or update from the web on what ever it is they want. Other users have the option to follow users who they choose. The users one follows' updates can be viewed on the users home page in a collective "News Feed."

In recent days I have faced multiple outcrys to my use of Twitter to have conversations over the internet. In my opinion "Twitversations" or "Twitvos" is a fundemental use of Twitter. As a social networking site it's members should be allowed to utilize it in the manner the user choses. My essential point of it all is that I am not gonna baraded or call out one of my "followers" for posting something on Twitter that I do not care for. It is their twitter and who am I to say what is wrong or right on a Social Networking site... Key words there SOCIAL NETWORKING site...

Social networking sites purposes very but essentially follow a basic principle, they were created to bring people who otherwise wouldn't be brought together. A main example of this is clear on my twitter: I have chosen to follow a few of my favorite Authors and Youtube stars and even certain celebs like @NathanFillion or @Ecogeek.

But a social networking site like twitter that utilizes many diffrent technologies shakes that basic principle up a bit in my mind. Because users are allowed to mobile follow someone using SMS texting from their phone many people hold conversations on Twitter. It allows one user to be on the phone while another is on a computer. For me it is a better way to talk to people then AIM from my phone. AIM mobile dosnt allow me to start convos easily, twitter does.

To be clear I do understand the other side to all of this. I really do but my essential point is it really is nothing to be angry about. I understand that it is annoying to some people to wade through usless nonsense on twitter to find what they are looking for, but unfortunatly for them Shit like that happens. People, myself included, are still gonna use their Twitter accounts in a manner that they see fit. I will however try to limit length convos from update and try and move to direct messages to ease some peoples "suffering". All I ask is that everyone take a look from my point of view as well, look at the big picture instead of nit picking that is all I ask and I don't mean to be a bitch at all about this. I love pretty much all of my followers and those who follow me back, @FactorOne said it best:

"We follow you for a reason."

Joss-LESS Buffy Movie... WTF!?!

It has been brought to my attention that an atrocious and icky-tastic announcement was released from Hollywood execs in recent days.

According to Whedonesque.com and many other entertainment news outlets plans are in the works for, what they are calling, a "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" "reboot" movie.

Which would be spled-fucking-diferious for all us slayer loven fans... But there's a catch:
"The film will be separate from the television series. It will not be part of the Buffy-verse cannon. It will be with out the amazing cast of characters such as Giles, Willow, Zander, Oz, Cordie, Spike, Dawney, and many others. And here is the biggy: THE MASTER OF THE BUFFY-VERSE JOSS WHEDON WILL NOT BE INVOLVED IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM!"

In the words of little Lizzie from Drop Dead Fred: "What a pile of SHIT!"

To me this is like hearing about the death of a child. I feel for Joss, his baby the Bufster is being taken by some scary creepy mustasioed greasy man and rapeing the shit out of the poor little girl and breaking the hearts of her parents.

Ok so MAYYYYBEEEEE that's going a little to far but a Buffy with out a Whedon is like a Fish without water. Its discussing and disturbing and full of so much fail it makes my eyes and... Ok it makes my whole face bleed just thinking about how fail-tastic it sounds.

I completely understand that after the epic fail that was the original Buffy Movie back in 1992, when the original was released, that Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband maintained the rights to Buffy and later became producers of the beloved TV series. But as a film maker I do NOT like it. I may understand holding the rights to something, but Buffy isn't her's.

That is the bottom line. Buffy is Joss Whedon's he wrote the script for the 1992 movie, he created Buffy from nothing, and when the movie flopped he didn't drop her like yesterdays newspaper, he worked hard and brought her too the small screen where, for lack of a better term, she kicked ass for 7 long seasons and in many MANY comic books there after.

Joss has never been with out his Buffy. And I feel like now this Kuzui chick is taking her away from him. It isn't right. It is just so icky I want to vomit.

I honestly hope it flops...

I never wish that on movies but I really have no desire to give it a chance when they are ripping the beating heart out of the entire Buffy world.

Joss made Buffy what it was/is. You cannot fabricate that shit. With out him the wit and humor and sarcasm and brilliance that made Buffy who she was and is was all Joss.

I say a protest is in order... Or at least a petition to get Joss involved, even if it just is in a producer role. He deserves to be part of a reboot of his world and his characters.

What are your thoughts?

Dreaming With a Broken Heart

There are times where I wish my life was a movie; plot twists that can be easily figured out and characters that never seem to leave the mainy behind or let him down in any way.

Unfortunately life never seems to pull a U-ie and imitate art. I want it to more then most people probably realize. I want that awesome best friend who can talk at a moments text or rushes over with a pint of Ben and Jerry's when you are down. I feel like I will never found him/her, I feel as if I am that person to everyone else but no one can return the favor. It just feels like no real life flesh and blood person is there to catch me when I fall in the movie that is my life.

I guess no one showed up for the casting call so that perfect best friend just unfortunately got written out of the pilot script.

Is it sad to say I envy all the people I have done so much for. I envy them because none of the love and care I give to them ever seems to be returned.

I can't let go of the one guy I love even though I probably should because in his mind he can never love me back, and it breaks my heart over and over again but yet it still beats it has realized that it has to go one it has to continue rebuilding itself because it has to love and break at the same time because I won't let it do anything else but that.

I love with a broken heart every day. I am constantly in between anger and contentness, sadness and happiness. Is it fair? Probably not but, when is life ever fair to anyone?
