Sunrise thru the Market House: Fayetteville NC
With a shift of the earth or something that I can’t explain. One can see the Sun Rise at the Downtown Market House in Fayetteville, NC. This phenomena happens twice a year. Once in January and in November.
I read about it on the Fayetteville Observer. But since I leave in town, I was not motivated enough to drag myself early in the morning and take pictures of it. Well this time, I decided to go downtown and take a picture of the Sunrise going thru Fayetteville Market House. I am so glad I did.
Lunch! Japanese Style
When I was invited to have lunch with friends. I was thinking OK I’m hungry anyway. Didn’t expect it to be in a famous Restaurant that specialize in Tempura. I was game though. Glad I went. It was dellice!

Hong Kong
I always been wanting to go to Hong Kong. So when an opportunity came up. I went. Your only young once. Of course have to take my camera with me. What I find out quickly. This city is not camera friendly. Have several times approach by a security agent saying no pictures here.
Can’t understand why they feel that way. So I took some pictures where I can. Not sure I want to go back.

Girls Day out in Japan
This is what’s it like to spend a day in Japan with friends.
One of Those Day’s
I was sitting in my favorite bar one day and noticed sitting across me is a man who seem to be in a very bad mood contemplating drinking his drink. Just as he lift the glass to drink the content. A guy came from nowere took the drink off his hand and drunk it for him and began laughing. Hahahahaha that was good he said.
Well the man was in disbelief. He didn’t know what to say and start sobbing. Man felt bad for him and told him, if he felt that bad about it. He can order any drink on the bar and he’d pay for it. Well he thank the man for the offer. While drinking his new drink. He told him, Well its’ been one of those days he said. He start telling this man who drunk his drink. That today his dog got run over which made him very sad. Then he went to work and his Boss told him, he was laid off. So he went home, only to find his wife run off with the Gardner.
So he said I came to this bar about to drink this glass of poison to take my own life when you drink it for me.

Visiting the 66 Camaro SS. Why I wasn’t into names.
“Oh I’m stuck on Twitter and Twitter stuck on me.” Yea! borrowed this jingle from the Oscar Mayer hot dog jingle. It sounded good and my mind seem to hum right along with this tune.
I’m still a newbie on Twitter. I started 3 months ago after being on other social media like Facebook. I delete my account on Facebook ‘coz only people commenting on my uploaded pictures are immediate family and friends. It got pretty boring for me and don’t really care what my niece or nephew been doing. I realize they need some privacy and me reading their intimate expose’ don’t really sit well with me. I definitely don’t want them to read what I’ve done in detail. That’ll be Creepy. I join Twitter so I can interact with people all over the world and learn their culture, interest and new hot trend in their part of the world. Also I enjoy taking pictures and want to share them not just with family and immediate friends but to everybody and see the reaction they get when I share my pictures and ideas.
Anyway now that I’m on twitter. The first thing I notice are people following. Who want you to follow them. At first I was excited that these people want to follow me. After awhile I realize the quality of the people that I’m following want me to follow them to increase their follower No. If your a newbie, it feels like its’ OK since you don’t have enough people following you anyway. It’s OK to follow these people with hundreds of followers. Like I envy them for having so many followers. Like they’re special. As I get to understand social media. I stop following them. I realize the followers I’m following are not that important as I though they are. As a matter of fact, I feel I’m more important to them. So if your joining Twitter, don’t feel bad if you have a handful of followers. I didn’t start out with hundreds of followers but get one or two then three till I have at least 900 plus followers at present. As far as me following. I want to follow people who follow me of course. But it gets’ to the point at one time were my following out-numbered my followers. If your reading this, you know what I mean. Weeding out your unwanted following is hard. It takes allot of time. Able to solve this when I bought an iPhone and bought Twitpro apps now called Echofon from iPhone apps store. This help allot. If you have one of this smart phone. It’s worth it to buy this from the Apps store. Its’ worth it to me.
I found this app when I was posting my thoughts and ask which app is a good companion to Twitter on the road. A follower @Rene818 recommended this to me and pretty grateful he did. Use it all the time to browse my Twitter and see if followers are also following. If not, I can un-follow them.
The quality of followers is the key in Twitter. To get quality followers, I try to say hello and engage them when I see them on my post to see if they hello or post back. If not, I un-follow them. Sometimes, I don’t understand why people really join Twitter. Twitter is a social media. That means anybody including their brother can access your post and post a comment how they feel about your post. I have had some followers that I posted on their post. They don’t respond or respond like I interrupted their private party. If you have this type of followers. Delete this people right away.
This reminds me when I was using a two way radio. To get road information from a Trucker going the opposite way. Love to chat with truckers. If you say hi to one you might get a dozen saying hi back. If they want to chat privately they can tell the other Trucker to go to another channel.Well Twitter is similar to a two way radio chat in Twitter. You can have a private conversation with your followers by DM or direct messages if you don’t want to have other eyes looking at what your saying.
Being able to share your ideas and thoughts is fun especially if you have other people you don’t know post back to what you are thinking. But the quality of conversation in Twitter depend on the quality of your followers they are key. But, from my experience with Twitter. There are a few people who will post back to you. Like out of 900 of my followers. I can say maybe 10 people will have a decent conversation with you.
So for people who have thousands of followers that you’r following and you want to chat with them. There is no way for them to talk back at you. So choose who you want to follow. And as a follower, subject can range from money making ideas, to technology or marketing etc, etc. you name it.
There are of course people who are saying you can make money on Twitter. There is a way, but you have to be smart about it. Is it good to be on Twitter. To me Yes. But you have to try it and find out for yourself. Peace.
