I’m new to twitter… to be totally honest, I’m not really sure the purpose.. other than letting stalkers know what your up to minute by minute… I started twittering (is that a word??) a week or so ago, and I can go to the site and update it, or I have an application on my computer that I can type from… I can also text from my phone right to twitter…
My understanding… there are some people out there who want to know when your driving down the street, taking a crap, or making dinner… so twitter is to let them know that…. one thing I do like is when I twitter, my facebook status changes to whatever I twitter, which is handy, because a lot more people go to my facebook than there would be on my twitter page.. I do also have it set up on my site on the right side that the twitter box reads the RSS feed and updates that, which I suppose is handy.. but like I said, it really it’s kind of silly unless you like stalkers.. I do have some people who follow me on twitter, which basically means (i think) that they receive updates whenever I send one to twitter…
Do you twitter?? Have you found it useful??? why do you twitter??? have you ever heard of twitter???

Jennifer and I were driving home today from Belleville after getting new tires for our car and “Sexy Back” came on the radio, which got us talking about strange music from our times.
Jen posed the question of “what songs do you think our kids will make fun of”… you know, how you make fun of some of the stuff that your parents listened to… well what stuff will our kids make fun of?? My first immediate response was “The Thong Song” but that is just one… there are lots… “Hoes in Different Area Codes” popped into my head to… The Macarena… Blue (by Effile 65) and list goes on and on.
We also started talking about some of the fads…. jeans ripped to shreds with flannel boxers under them… fanny packs…. those pull over jackets that you could fold into a pouch and wear around your waste (like a fanny pack) Pogs….Tomogatchi (they are coming back)… bleached hair…Zubaz pants…everyone loved overalls…goosebump books (and the TV show a little later)… power rangers (the orignal)
So my quest for you this week is to post the songs you think our kids will make fun of and crazy fads that you remember from the 90’s (mainly the early and mid) … remember the sunglasses.. huge black frames with fluorescent arms.. the fluorescent cameras you use to be able to get at
McDonalds.
Lets here your memories!!
