I guess I was too busy at work before to bug AT&T, but now I have more time on my hands, it’s more important to me, and it’s top of mind. #
I don’t have a specific beef with AT&T, excepted for the fact that I pay a lot and have a quasi non-functional connection. #
The fact that AT&T has not responded to me in 24 hours, despite their excellent online customer care, means they do not have a solution. #
This full moon was predicted to be pretty awesome, for some reason. It has proven to be very positive. Let the good times roll. #
Should I be who I am, or should I try to game Klout? I know the answer. What do you think? #
However, my employability depends on Klout, not Empire Avenue. #
I’m starting to dismiss Klout because my score goes down even as my “real” influence goes up. My Empire Avenue goes up, though. #

I believe I am in a pocket of AT&T black hole, but they will not admit it. I’m not saying Comcast is better. I’m saying I have no choice #
In fact, AT&T has been more than responsive to my connection issues before, but it has never been truly resoved #
Now that I will have more time on my hands, at this time of night, I can say that my AT&T Internet connection is worse than ever #
Does anyone care about anything anymore? #

Anyway, as I was saying … #
Has self-censorship served me well in any way? I have tried it for a year. The answer is, absolutely not. On the contrary, it is limiting #
Having said all that, Twitter used to be a Wild West for me and afforded more free expression. In the past year, I have censored myself… #
Watever, though #
Having said that I love Twitter more than Path. For one why limit to 150 friends? Dunbar nonsense! Secondly Twitter is on the open Interwebz #
Maybe there’s a way back to where it was definitely more comfortable and personal #
Instant gratification aside Twitter allowed for many offhand remarks just for letting off the steam. Something got lost for me along the way #
Twitter ain’t what it used to be, at least not for me. It’s a wall now, but not so personal and “raw” anymore. It was kind of better before. #
