Twitter, Seinfeld, and Paula Abdul . . .

On April 18, 2009, my boyfriend and I signed up for separate accounts on "Twitter" and, as my beloved buddy, Cosmo Kramer (Too bad what happened to Michael Richards awhile back!  So sorry to hear that!  He must have been drunk to the hilt!), one of the endearing characters of "Seinfeld" would say, "I'M LOVIN' EVERY MINUTE OF IT!!!"

After years of watching "Seinfeld" (My paramour and I know the verbiage of every episode by heart!), my cohabitant and I have, of late, uncannily beheld in human nature - in people we come in contact with daily - every single nuance and subtlety of life possible from the contents of the "Seinfeld" episodes.  "Seinfeld" was dubbed to be "the show about nothing" yet ended up being "the show about everything!!!"  Just like Alice Walker wrote about in her book which came out in 1982, "The Color Purple," she said that every time we see the color purple in nature, we're so surprised, awestruck,  "Ooooo!"  It's the same when my paramour and I observe the nuances from the Seinfeld shows in people on the street, so to speak, we're so surprised with raucous laughter!  Although my boyfriend was an avid admirer of "Seinfeld" from the onset (He introduced me to the sitcom.) - he saw something I didn't see - it took me awhile, in the beginning, to warm up to the characters in/on (?) the program, itself.  Perhaps it was the frame of mind I was in at that particular time in my life? 

Enough about me...

The co-creators, Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, are true, quirky, artists, as artists go - like me - they picked up on every idiosyncrasy of what is means to be human and duplicated it in their half-eponymous comedy sitcom.  We didn't especially notice this matchup of quirks and peculiarities between real-life and the television show at the time we viewed these comedic episodes, but now that we've pretty much stopped watching - I mean, we know every word - we do notice these quirks, superfluously.  At the moment, I'm not unequivocal about what to attribute our tardy observations to; albeit, I'm certain I'd think of a reason or explanation given the time - which is extremely scarce, I might add, again.  Thanks guys!

Whosoever founded "Twitter,"  Evan Williams, Jack Dorsey, and Biz Stone, are consummate GENIUSES!!!  Anyone who can galvanize so many millions of people - I would venture to say millions - to come together from every age group and every walk of life to play a game is the corporeality of genii!  "Twitter" was launched publicly in July of 2006.  Thanks guys!

On April 20, 2009, I, fortuitously and fleetingly glanced (Time is way too scarce for all I intend to do!) at Paula Abdul's tweet about having signed up with WeFollow.com, the "User Powered Twitter Directory," and I followed her lead.  She is someone I respect and I, too, signed up with the Directory of which I am now low man on the totempole, as far as "followers" are concerned, but not for long!  Look out Ashton....  Thanks Paula and Ashton for being there!

                                                         Expect Miracles!
