Happy Birthday To all, and to all... Let's get on with the good works We Are All Doin'

A good buddy just reminded me... 'Tis so easy to cynically believe that these Facebookie hippity-happy birthday wishes have no meaning what-so-ever; that they're forced, that you were reminded of my birthday by nothing more than a robotically-marketing driven must-be-friendly brain-scrubbing "system"… in-genuine. 

But, why look at it that way? Why not say hey-ho and be happy that we now have these systems that attach us and keep us a little more together than we were that point in time some 10+ years before Fark-ster, My-Face and Space-twit… before I met the love of my life on MySpace and started raising our love-child right in front of mine & your faze...Book. After all, is it not human to be bitchin' over each others opinions; civilized to be keeping up with the doings of those we like to see do… is it not good to be friendly and sharing our happy hellos on vacation while in the midst of a somewhat bad not-quite-working-workday… Isn't it really quite nifty to be poking & peeking and seeing how well we're'll doin' and shouting out odd bits and pieces of helpful encouragements. I honestly think this shctuff is pretty damned, cool.

You've just been and/or are about to be hit with a bigger pile of gord-lovin', so I better preface this digital-hugin' & snugglin' with the legal pre-amble to my soon to be patently-traditional and oh-so-hopefully expected jack-assed sized bucket of cold icy water…

After recently reading some smart-assed old pun-dent ask: "...is social media making us stupid?"… The thought occurred, that's like asking why the grumpy-assed old and mad (internet) cat killed the (virtual) tweet-wordy-birdie; WE ALREADY WERE STUPID.

...if some see it as idiotically-robotic, well so be it. After 20+ years of workin' our asses polishing off this big mess Al Gore left us, my buddies, you and I, albeit not totally satisfied with it, should be wholy encouraged by how many gosh darn golly good folks are actually using it… AND it may only be the tinee-tiniest act of kindness to wish a hippy happy birthday, but as many, too many a meme after meme has reminded me here day after day… "all these simple little acts of kindness DO add up to a happier day" maybe even a month, quite possibly a year and hopefully, a more wonderful lifetime (no?)

Sigh... yet another meme tells me, that my being a young-man of fifty, oh my, goodness gracious, affords me an opportunity to not care what I say or worry at all what you think; Well quite honestly, I do, I just don't bloody well HAVE to and there in lay the difference…

And I do think it's swell that we're pals…

So, I thank you for your wishes; truly I do… thank you new-old buddy. Thank you I do :-) 

(now… lets get back at it and make this a bit better).

    (as of October 24th 2013... this needs a bit of updating...)

    I am NOT a so-called blogger, nor do aspire to the fame and (massive) fortunes that seems to follow "the blogger's blogggers" these days... please see: about this, for more on that...

    All I ask is that IF you like the notions presented here, follow me on Twitter to be alerted to those odd times when I get around to committing to more of these... notions.

    ...so, I am NOT a blogger, I am simply a veteran* social media & digital business professional; With over 25 years experience in blah, blah... demonstrated blah success, implementing, blah, blah, blah... innovative ideas from, blah... start-up through to blah... projects for established Fortune 500 companies. 

    Comprehensive idea-generation ...blah, blah, blah problem solving skills with blah, blah, blah, blah... blah experience in a wide variety of markets.

    I do like to talk, even more, I like to think up, develop and implement, solutions. SO, lets talk :-)
