Status

It seems there are a pile of services online that want to know your status from where you are to what you are doing to how you feel, and it’s important to have a good answer about your status. Recently on MSN and Skype I’ve been using song titles and the response has been unexpected.

I got asked quite a few questions about how my vacation was when entered “What a Long Strange Trip it’s Been”. Upon further inquiry it seems the Grateful Dead are complete unknowns even to this day in China. Same thing with Jimi Hendrix, a complete unknown, since when I posted “All Along the Watchtower” people started asking when I became a Jehovah’s Witness.

It never ceases to amaze me the things I assume are common knowledge that in actuality are only known in my little part of the world. Sure It’s a Small World Ater Al, but it’s also a Big BIg World.
