Now that we are all on google plus, what do we do with it?

friends! i have so many random thoughts and i want to run them in your direction...please respond where you feel prone to do so...

Gmail tells me daily that somebody out in the world has added me through Google Plus. My little bro swears by it. Me, I rarely go there. I am not exploring that internet space at all but I'm part of it. It's all an experiment, right? We are a test group. It's like FB but better, they say. I haven't caught the bug yet. I'm not sure I'm the best for a test group.

On the topic of companies,

Dear Apple,

Every time I see the most recent Nano you created, I feel I'm going to implode. It makes me sick. I don't want to maneuver myself around a brain fart. Smaller is not always better. You've gone too far. Sincerely, Martha

Second, what happened in Londontown? The youth have gone mad. Where are the parents, I presume they're on vacation? Nobody wants to accept the blame. Instead people are suggesting that Blackberry may have had a hand in it. So we are likening a phone to a gun. Pretty powerful those bullets are. I understand that people are mad at the police for not responding the way they expected. Question, how come they aren't mad at the people for all going cuckoo for coco puffs...? Just because the world goes crazy doesn't mean it's now socially acceptable to smash in the windows of Foot Locker and steal those shoes you've been eyeing the past few weeks.

I can't get enough cookie dough in my life. I have an obsession. A serious craving these days. Can anyone explain it? I know it's not good for me, but I want it to be.

Third, when I was on Facebook today one of the ads on the side of my profile asked me, "Are you ready for a relationship?" And then it proceeded to tell me that one in five relationships starts online. And my first response was, "how many of those end badly?" "And what kind of relationship are we talking about? And, of course I'm ready for a relationship, is my profile page asking me out?"

When did I turn into a pessimist? Actually, I don't think I have. I do find it strange, the trickery of the advertisement. Who decides what ads will be on my profile page? Dear ad placers, I do not want ads for "promiscuous prints." Yes, that was on my page today as well.

Next, two lovely interesting musically talented groups out in the world and one amazing dance group...

For pleasure and joy and swelling of the heartness.
