The night before I travel, I can never sleep...so I write... :)
I have been on Twitter for a while now and it's been a great tool for networking and I LOVE all the folks who I have connected with on a business level. There is still one thing that bothers me though...It's the "posing" and perpetrating that I see people do. I cannot even begin to tell you how many folks I have connected with and later found out, they were not what they claimed to be. The online world is a blessing and curse! It has been one of the best things for the modern world and it has also been one of the most dangerous vehicles for hiding and ducking out on REAL life.
Don't get me wrong, I THOROUGHLY enjoyed the trash talk about the recent BET Awards, the updates on MJ's passing, the day-to-day frustrations of folks out there in Twitterville. We want to know that Joe-Schmo down the street has the same jacked up life that we do. We want to know that we have a connection with other people just like us. It's being human! So, for that reason aside from business...I still think Twitter is a pretty awesome invention.
With that said, over the past few weeks, I started to see other Twitterees with an automatic e-mail of sorts from Twittascope.com, so I decided to check it out and I signed up. I have to say, I am not much of a fortune cookie/beware the ides of March type of chic, but the daily horoscope messages have been down right ghostly! LOL! One of them REALLY spelled out what I have felt about the online world and the potential pitfalls it can provide. Maybe someone else out there needed to see this...even if you aren't a Leo, like me!

You must confront the angels and demons of your own imagination today. One moment you may be drawn toward a lovely person, only to discover your fantasy is quite different from the real thing. Setting boundaries is a healthy start, but you must follow through by enforcing them when encroached upon. Your positive attitude can be worth more now than anything else.
Stay Lovely!
