I have to say that 2008 has been the year of Limited Availability for me.

I can't think of another time in the last 11 years where I have been less available in all sorts of ways than now.

I haven't had a (Home/Cell) phone since May. I really haven't had (my own) an internet connection. I am physically 100 miles from most of the people whom I used to associate and hang out with.

Besides a handful of people (I'd have to say less than 20) no one really knows where I am and much less what I've been up to.

Most people haven't seen/heard from me for at least 3 to 10 months if not more.

My Limited Availability online is evidenced by not only lack of blog entires, but partically any site in which I have an account at.

For a brief time I had started experimenting with Soup via a site I entitled: Spill...

I also continued to try to update my tumblr with shared items from my Google Reader although now slow and unstable internet forced me back to usage of a desktop reader...

I had also been updating my Wordpress rather well with particular reviews of TV Shows and Films yet that too also fell through...

I attempted to re-kindle my affections with Twitter a little over a month ago but that ended rather quickly due to lack of internet connectivity and phone.

I even posted a rather long Utterz...

My Limited Availability physically is evidenced by myself seeming indisposed and averse to any sort of social outing, communication or otherwise--basically "…being uncommuncationable." Which is mostly based on the fact that I am not where I usually am.

I have thought my disappearance, my extended leave of absence; call it what you may, would wreak havoc upon all and any of my relationships be they close or slight...

Yet having been gone for so long I have come to realize that truly those whom know me, have come to know me, etc. have the knowledge that I do tend to 'disappear' and 'reappear' every now and again sometimes longer than other previous times...

My Limited Availability --this year, 2008 has been one of those years where I have done numerous disappearing and reappearing acts. Each longer than last.

Although each time I do reappear, as I am doing so now, I am apt to comment on my disappearance and sometimes...or eventually at some point come to detail my disappearance.

dmotion just has Limited Availability right now...

I haven't had a working internet connection at home for the last month and a half or something.

As of now I am in a Library which is firewalled to the brim--even Twitter is blocked which surprises me as are the usual things--YouTube, etc.

I have been switching from Panera to a Library for sporadic internet usage which usually consists of email checking, and Feed Reading as well as sparingly checking my various social network accounts. It's messed up that all of the available connections at my home now are all locked and I haven't bothered trying to even break into them and use them.

I haven't had a working phone since the beginning of May so if I was hard to get a hold of before it's almost a literal impossiblity to maintain a constant flow of communication with me through the available mediums.

Some things I have postponed to post:

I hardly watched any films in March it was more TV series month for me:




New Amsterdam well cut, well acted, and told wonderfully. Many have brought up that the series bears a striking storyline to the film Man From Earth however I don't share this belief as there are very distinct differences between their origins. The show's opening theme is one that I have had playing in my head for weeks now much like "There Will Be Blood" and it's just so beautiful. The show is gripping from beginning to end and leaves one craving for more.



"The Riches" I am unsure of how such a marvelous intriguing show eluded me last year. I first became interested in the show as I sifted through a Rolling Stone Magazine and saw an advert that I had to turn the magazine sideways to enjoy of an entire family with long noses (a la Pinocchio) that aired on FX on Tuesdays at 10PM.



The advert was all that I needed to peak my interest and I watched the entire first season of the show and the first three episodes of the second season, the other episodes have yet to air. (Note: Currently the second season has only gone up to Episode Seven and they have stopped there...)

This is I believe my first actual post in months. Possibly if I get the urge to and ability to post later I'll fill in the gaps of my happenings..

That's the update I posted on Twitter.

About a year and 11 days ago I signed up for Twitter--after having found an article referring to it on Drudge

I entitled the post: "Twitter--It's What I'm Doing" and it's been what I have been doing and where I've been most of this time.

I asked the question: "...will it be what people are going to be doing?"

And it has two answers:

1) It's not all about what people are doing

2) Twitter hasn't yet hit the big big time

Safe to say that since then I haven't been touching anything remotely blogging-isque with the same vigor as I touch Twitter with.

One of the things that I enjoy about Twitter is it's instantaneousness connectivity with those whom you follow/befriend which is dependent upon the person's updating volume.

For example on average I, dmotion in one year sent about 44 tweets (updates) everyday which equals about 16,000 updates.

Of course those whom follow me on Twitter know that that isn't so true because there were days wherein I sent in upwards of 100 updates in one day.

Anyways Twitter has been by far amazing with the exception of it's tendency to 'eat' tweets (updates), time lapsing, shuffling of tweets (updates) and it's outages which have been more common recently.

Twitter unlike most things which dub themselves social networks I believe is more social and much more personal as one gets to see what people are doing. Twitter's whole premise is what are you doing...feeling, seeing, wanting, being, eating, etc. even though its initial question has always been "What are you doing?"

Yes, many people have adapted Twitter for other usages but for me these things defeat the purpose of Twitter--sometimes I'd like to tell people, "Get an RSS feed"

Recently many have commented that Twitter is Instant Messaging but in public--eh, it's a way of communication but certainly not IM.

Twitter is many things but Twitter is also not some things.

Twitter is not a blog...I had previously stated that Twitter was like the haiku of blogging...

Many people call it mirco-blogging--I do not.

I have seen Biz slightly cringe when people refer to Twitter as such.

Twitter is Twitter.

It's genre is Twitter.

Twitter is time consuming--it is due to the fact that it is what you are doing...

As I mentioned before I haven't touched anything remotely blogging-isque with the same vigor as I touch Twitter with because I just love instantaneousness--that is it's draw...

Many times during the time lapses I have mentioned that Twitter is no fun when Time lapsed...it feels more like a forum board more than anything.

When you blog it might take a couple minutes, days for someone to read or maybe not.

With Twitter in a couple of seconds a tweet (update) will be read...assuming Twitter is being Twitter and not the Twitter that is slow...

All in all Twitter is what I'm doing and what I've been doing.

I'm trying to figure out this wordpress widget that I downloaded--why couldn't it be as easy as this livejournal widget that I downloaded? Oh, well...
