"Overwhelmed into inactivity" is a favorite saying of a great friend of mine. She says that whenever there is so much to do/say/think about/process that wheels just spin instead of moving forward. It's not the deer-in-the-headlights-frozen-with-fear inactivity, but more like how your computer just kind of sits there and does nothing and yet does more than it's ever done before, while you're running several memory hogging apps, and then open ONE MORE!
Churn. Thrashing. Lots is going on, but no visible signs of movement. So just imagine a little hourglass for this blog. Or for you 'other' folks the spinning wheel.
That's part of the reason that this entry is a placeholder for "the most thoughtful and perhaps longest" of my posts to date. [BTW that's a little scary as my biggest struggle is being succinct]. But the other reason this is a placeholder is that I'm not sure where my internal conversation about social networking is headed, and until that is all sorted out, my postings about the subject might be evidence of a multiple personality disorder (That's a joke. No it's not. Go away, who asked you?)
One other note (excuse?) is the battle I've had just today in attempting to install several Facebook applications. I decided it's time to quit for now and return later. For some reason one of my favorite quotes keeps coming to mind: "Never argue with an idiot. First they drag you down to their level and then they beat you with experience." Not that I think ALL Facebook applications are idiotic (it just seems like there's a preponderance of them?) The idea and potential of applications fascinates me, but I must say I have not been overly impressed with the whole experience so far. 
Stay tuned...I may feel differently this evening. (Yeah you will, I'll see to that. Right, you and Job's patience? That's it - I'm leaving until you can all get along. Hey, maybe you need more than ONE facebook account, hahahahahah. Or at least add us ALL as friends. Yeah!)
