Maternal Unit

I sent my mom a link the other day to an article on CNN.com about how Ashton Kutcher beat them to 1 million followers on Twitter, and then donated $100k to helping prevent malaria. I find some humor in the fact that this piece of my mother’s commentary is 54 characters too long for me to use as a Twitter update.

My God – doesn’t anyone hold a job any more? Where would anyone find the time, much less want to, give the rest of the world a minute by minute of their daily life? I’m worried…………….

Don’t worry, I’m hanging my head in shame too. If you want to feel any worse about your current problem with tweeting, why don’t you just watch this?

    So long as your mother doesn’t have anything bad to say about Facebook addicts I’ll stumble onwards. :-D

    I think Facebook is so beyond what my mother is capable of understanding in these crazy internet times that your addiction is safe from her scrutiny.

    1 go mom for even bothering to take a stance.

    2 the last real job I held actually was the first time I had full-time, regret free access to high speed internet, where I basically learned to tune out and turn on to how much info you could access THAT quickly. if anything, and taking into account all my full-time job having, full-time internet posting friends’ activities, it speaks a lot more about the current state of job demands more than not having a job ever could. frankly I know few people with full time jobs that don’t simultaneously spend their 8 hour+ work days giving play by play. if anything, it’s the jobless folk I find who can’t afford unlimited data to tweet, nor give a fuck about it enough to submit to getting to a computer to interrupt the endless coffee consumption, hanging out IRL and creating whatever they create.

    Hi from Mexico City, my fake job rulez FTW.
