If I unfollow you from Twitter it’s not you, it’s me

24-10-2009

Dear Twitter Followee:

Maybe by now you will have noticed I stopped following your updates and you are perhaps wondering why, what you did wrong and if there is a way to set things right and if I will follow you again. I have to be honest with you, there probably is no way I will follow you again.

You see, we are just not made for each other. I am looking for worthy insights, links that will help me advance as a person and a professional, someone who will expand my horizons, challenge me and is able to call me on my bullshit and is not offended when I call bullshit on him/her. However I have noticed that of late there is nothing I can take from your tweets that’s valuable to me. Sure, I understand, my tweets are not 100% all-value, and I don’t expect yours to be either, but something nice from time to time is not too much to ask, is it?

The thing is… there is just so much fluff on my timeline and I don’t have the time to deal with it all. But you have other followers, I’m sure they find your style of tweets worthwhile.

Don’t think of this as your failure, I probably was looking for something different without realizing it and just gave you some false hope, sent you the wrong signs, clicked on the “Follow” button before knowing more about you. I don’t want you to feel bad about yourself, you did nothing wrong and, if it’s any consolation, you are not the only one I’m unfollowing. You see, I made some choices that I now must sadly go back on. It’s all my fault. It’s not you, it’s me.

But this doesn’t mean we can’t still be friends.

On the bus to The Soo

14-02-2009

This time things are moving more or less on time, and it seems like we’ll arrive at the scheduled time which is great to hit the casino. I was able to sleep somewhat before boarding, but this trip now is relatively short, about 4 hrs. Gambling should take care of the need to sleep. I [...]

A nice tour around Science North

13-02-2009

I had a very good first part of my trip going to Science North. Although the 3D movie was kind of cheesy it wasn’t unenjoyable, and you get to have some water sprayed on you. I expected larger exhibits, but I suppose that since there is some construction on half the place some compromises were [...]
