Riddle Sideways: almost everything is a metaphor
Riddle Sideways: but, how are twitters
Alfred Kelberry: ok now?

Riddle Sideways: sorry to be so pushy
Riddle Sideways: maybe tweets are like those random thoughts that pass by
Riddle Sideways: when trying to be still
Riddle Sideways: new input all the time
Yakuzza Lethecus: i wonder about the sense i am making of all the input i percieve or maybe only recieve during the day
Yakuzza Lethecus: everyday financial crisis in the news
Yakuzza Lethecus: selection, which news does really matter for me, should i even stop watching the daily news
Alfred Kelberry: riddle, yes, random thoughts is how i felt about them
Alfred Kelberry: no time to settle in too as next one is on the way
Riddle Sideways: almost like the random thoughts firing off as soon as one is picked for concentration
Alfred Kelberry: yaku, if i may, i'd like to suggest spending less time reading media. it does help :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: is there selection possible in the tweets boxy ? like only tweets about thoughts on meditation as a startable topic giver ?

Boxy. Making only boxes. Sitting on boxes. In a house made of lots of boxes. hmmmm......
Riddle Sideways: by Malvina Reynolds
Riddle Sideways: Little boxes on the hillside
Riddle Sideways: Little boxes made of ticky tacky
Riddle Sideways: Little boxes all the same
Riddle Sideways:
And the people in the houses
All went to the university,
Where they were put in boxes
And they came out all the same,
And there's doctors and lawyers,
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.
--BELL--
Riddle Sideways: for completenss: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJjE-UtqQdU
Riddle Sideways: driving into south San Francisco, you can see the hillside of colorful boxy houses
Riddle Sideways: that the song was inspired by
At least that's what I always thought, but research points to either the above scene or Daly City (below)
Riddle Sideways: well Yak, the region restart might not come today
Riddle Sideways: you were probably here to bear witness
Yakuzza Lethecus: well i do not only come to pab to see the sim go down :)
