Pull the needle off the record: Last images of Mojo
Left Mojo last night around 11:30pm. Sad to leave. Mojo Music is a special place owned and run by a man dedicated to the music and to keeping The Feel alive and well. If you ever go to Sydney, you need to stop by Mojo. Tell 'em Judd sent you...
Thanks Kingfish. Thanks Uncle Frank. Thanks to all the regulars...you know who you are.
Sometimes it's just nice to be nice....
OK, so it sounds a bit lame and corny, but it's true. It's also
something I'd forgotten until fairly recently.
discovered that there are lot of really nice people out there in the
world. Yes, there's an awful lot of loonies and bores and frothing,
hate-filled maniacs as well, but I can safely keep my distance from
them if I wish to and concentrate on the decent folk that I have
found. It's not strictly necessary to offer helpful hints, links to
interesting articles, jokes, support or even basic pleasantries while
you're tweeting, but if you do, the response from your followers and
sometimes even random tweet readers, can be truly wonderful. I have probably made more friends in my brief time on Twitter, than I
ever have in real life. Why? Who knows? Maybe the complete lack of
expectations I hold every time I make a tweet allows me to be more
relaxed about being, "ignored", for want of a better word. Then when
someone does offer a reaction to whatever it was I said, that's a
bonus. Maybe the 140 character format of a tweet also helps because it forces
me to THINK about what I want to say without too much waffle...
mostly. Whatever the reason for enjoying Twitter, I really enjoy being a
tweeter, and will continue enjoying it for quite some time... Thank you, to all of you who have made me feel welcome and wanted on
Twitter... you know who you are...
Treasure
It is time for us to follow new paths. Thank you for giving and sharing wonderfull and unique moments, thanks for everything that we were my lovely tiny dancer. As connected souls, I will always treasure you. Be wonderfull at everything that you do. See you around.
The email thanks and the friendfeed thanks...
... were a big difference feeling wise on several levels, interestingly not only for me, but others too.
Whether they realise it or not.
On the one hand I got a great email of thanks, someone had personally thanked me and it made me feel good, and I thank them for that too. I am glad they had that success.
On the other I started a thread in essence as a sort of doubled edged sword, one side just saying in a roundabout "rant-less" way my defence of those who have done this, as I have been in their shoes too, the other side being I KNEW it would get a response. I knew alot of them would come from those who use it alot (and well IMO) which will help everyone.
Well the personal thanks fired me right up, and I realise it's simply because it was a personal thing, them feeling great and sharing it... with me. thanks... :o)
The friendfeed thanks, although not actually said, I know someone will be glad I posted it, if it helps one person great. It never made me feel anything like that one personal email.
Even though it possibly helps more people.
It started users thinking more about it, maybe we should have a thread like that every three months! ;o)
None of the friendfeed users will have felt as good as the person who emailed me either.
A personal touch, in a world of "less bodily attachment and more digital attachment" is something good.
Like the "A blogger" who loses the personal connection with their early readers. It will be something you remember.
Have ya thanked anyone personally recently?
Why do I blog?
Because I meet folks that make great comments like this from Lawrence Berezin. Please also follow him on Twitter at @LarryBerezin.
I don't seek out this type of feedback, but it highlights for me the wonders that I was missing when I started to blog and dive into social networking. I do truly appreciate the time that readers take in reading Musings and can only hope that readers get the same kick out of reading the posts as I do in writing them.
Thanks again to Larry and all the others I have met on this journey.
Thankful
I don't know where to begin. It seems the cliche thing to do to give thanks during this time of year, but I'm going to do it anyway.
I am tired of wanting to thank people and not doing it. God has given me so much, and I want to be thankful for it before it/ they go away and it's too late. So, here I go.
I am first and most thankful for my unchanging God. He loves me despite all my insanity and when I don't express thanks for what He's done for me. You, Father, life me up when I am down. You keep me strong when I am weak. You keep my life full and complete. I praise you, Beautiful One. I cannot express enough gratitude, and I cannot wait for the day when I see your face.
I am thankful for Stephanie Sidow and Meredith Sommer. You mean more to me than I can even put into words. You ladies are amazing Godly women who have shown me that I can be a better person than what I think I can be. I love you.
I am thankful for the BCM Lead Team. You follow the Spirit, and it shows through your dedication to challenge people to grow in the Lord.
I am thankful for the BCM. God really used all the people in it to show me a better way of life. I came alive the moment I stepped foot in Towne View for my first Fusion.
I am thankful for my amazing prayer warriors. You know who you are. Without you, I can not stand and fight this battle alone.
I am thankful for my church. It was truly a God thing that brought me to it, and it is God who keeps me there. It is an amazing place to call home, and all of the people I have encountered there are a blessing. I never could have imagined a better place to go to in my times of need.
I am thankful for my family. Despite it all, we find some way to stay strong and together. Your support for what I am trying to do in my life is what makes this all possible.
I am thankful for the people who have been sprinkled throughout my life who have had a great impact on it. Whether you be a friend, an old teacher, a supervisor, or spiritual counselor, you have changed my life for the better.
I am thankful for the strangers in my life who hold the door for me, cook and serve meals, and all the other things no one wants to do.
I am thankful to all those who have done me harm. Without you, I would not know the things I know about me or my God. Through you, I have held fast to my Lord, and He has shown His faithfulness. God bless you.
My life is impossible without God and without His children He has placed in my life.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Know that if I could thank you properly, I would literally die of gratitude.
