I’ve heard, “it’s not bragging if it’s true…” but usually, isn’t that when we brag? We can make a difficult situation as a passive-aggressive compliment to ourselves. That isn’t what the inexplicable interest and sharp increase in requests have me baffled, and just a little flattered.
I don’t trust everything at face value in the real world. The risk of deception is multiple times reality when it’s virtual.
A few years ago, I had as many as 93 friend or follower requests. I was sure it was a fluke, but never learned otherwise. Add 700, and it certainly seems unreal. I have not yet taken the time to count the unanswered messages, forget about responding or reacting, which for this is good and bad.
If your doctor says you’re responding… that’s good. But if it’s a reaction, it generally indicates conflict between treatment and cure.
I am not intentionally ignoring anyone, but people I already know will be preferred, people who can show their face in a profile will be picked before a landscape, text, or the empty silhouette.
I stopped requesting friends or followers at this point. I haven’t in a long time, with a minor exception. I simply confirm or follow back… after I see a profile.
When the volume of requests reaches this insane number, I just trust in my intuition and that’s why faces or selfies are better for me to feel.
Three weeks ago, I could have never predicted this. J Kristen Halley already has 4.4k friends and I just dumped many dead profiles. Kris Halley is not new, but remembered. It is the one that is currently backlogged.
If I wanted my friendship, and I did, but then I dropped by Kris Halley has much more room even after the 800 or whatever profiles… I simply don’t have time to look at your profile and chat without knowing what you post or if you post.
My attention span is something… more later maybe
Still, we can have success at something and want to share it. The intention of sharing should not be about being praised. Don’t expect it to mean much beyond a superficial level. is not to elevate my ego in any way. I don’t need that. I appreciate positive feedback or constructive criticism. Coming from the heart, criticism is just another form of advice from a more abrasive personality.
I had four buckets of golf balls that I paid for three years ago. I stopped by earlier this afternoon and found a challenge at the driving range.
The tractor that collects the balls came out and made a pass in front of me. I told him, “Oh good, a moving target.” He laughed, I smiled.
He was fair game when he was going east to west on the range between the 150 and 250-yard marker. My first shot was on target but too high and flew over him. He didn’t notice. My second shot hit the protective cabin and flew straight up some forty feet…so did he, nearly.
I waved and gave him a thumbs up. He didn’t wave back. My third shot was off, but my fourth shot was a line drive headed on target, but I didn’t lead him, so it missed by feet and landed behind him.
It feels blissful to have such mastery over anything. It’s especially fulfilling when it involves a sport with which so many have struggled with for years and still can’t do what I can. Well, they can when or if they learn how. I will the ball to go where I desire.
It would be one thing, but it’s two, including billiards, even three, including singing, and four, if you include what I’ve accomplished in one and a half years. … sorry, I joke like that.
The secret to a long life is not dying.
It isn’t easy to follow our own advice… Yet, that’s what I credit for my successes. My advice really sucks, so I do the opposite of what I tell other people.
They say some people are obligated to contribute something meaningful to humankind. They have special skills, a combination of traits that enables them to communicate… really, really good. My Thesaurus and good speller stopped working. They help people by using words in a specific order. A syntax… (*a SENTENCE).
Most often, it’s nonsense, but sometimes it’s bull s**t.
Mama says I was born to be in politics. She knows I can use many words to say very little.
One of the scariest moments of my life was when I had not returned my seat to an upright position before landing. It was a safe landing, but the fear of what that 6 inches could have meant…whew! Dodged a bullet.
I have never been to Hollywood, although I was invited by people who were imposters for Scarlett Johannsen, Gal Gadot, and Jennifer Anniston(s). I had four Jennifer Anniston imposters who wanted to get with me. (My last director encouraged me to try, but that isn’t funny…)
But anyway…
Imposters love me. It turns out that they don’t even know the celebrity. So, maybe Jennifer Anniston didn’t say no by not answering… I don’t know, but I bet they probably took it wrong when I called them a ridiculous imitation. I bet it was because I said that in a post. So, I understand. It’s true, so… you know, what?
Sadly, they (celebrities touring Europe) find themselves in the KER-AY-ZEE position where they cannot access her $500 million net worth. They need $25 for cab fare. Wire it, and she will shower me with gold and jewels… The greedy see investment, even if it takes years before I am actually one to contact when the place is fictitious.
I could write a book about all the schemes I have followed… they have nothing until you give up sensitive information or help them out of this week’s crisis.
What does it matter who they claim to be? It could be a 10 who also likes a few of your posts… that damn little heart… if you don’t have a policy without exception, you will contribute to the evidence that a fool is indeed parted from his money.
