Linky Love: Microblogs

I am loving a few new microblogs - blogs with cool ideas that are quick reads. Here are my favorites:

In Three Words - in the comment section of the blog, you give your response to the description in the title in three words

I Am Neurotic - Quirky things people do. I can completely relate.

One Sentence - Their subtitle: True stories, told in one sentence. I love it!

(The Customer is) Not Always Right - Seriously hilarious.

Things My Boss Has Said - Think your boss can top some of these winners? (I don't know whether this is actually a blog or not. I don't know what "tumblr" is.)

Goob said...: those sound great! I can't wait to go read the customer is not always right! I used to work in a bank and you wouldn't believe how many times the customer had made a gigantic mistake, but they needed it to be our fault and would finally, in total exasperation say "whatever happened to the customer is always right?"...to which I could only respond with a blank stare and finally a patronizing smile.; June 18, 2009 at 5:50 PM

It is a waste of time and energy to worry about what others are thinking about you. because... You can never know exactly what another person is thinking...AND, the wost part is...they are usually not thinking about you at all. They are too busy worrying about what others are thinking about them. So, the truth is, all those terrible thoughts you thought they might be thinking about you, are your own thoughts about yourself. Better spend your energy worrying about that...or, you just might convince somebody to think what you were afraid they might be thinking after all. ~Portia Nelson

"When we honestly ask which persons in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not-knowing, not-curing, not-healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness ... makes it clear that whatever happens in the external world, being present to each other is what really matters." ~Henri Nouwen

"...People need to talk, and often a willingness to sit and listen is the greatest kindness one person can offer to another. One of the first lessons of childhood is to be wary of strangers, and while this is good counsel to guard against the world's very small nefarious element, it also teaches us to block out the large majority of those who just have something on their mind they'd like to say. We are taught to be suspicious, especially of anyone who might not look like us or share our beliefs. By the time we reach adulthood, many have perfected the art of isolation, of being careful, of not listening in the name of safety. But the truth is that we need to hear other people, all people, especially in those moments when we don't know exactly where we're going ourselves." ~Ann Patchett

"Sometimes, I imagine my own life as a series of snapshots taken by some omniscient artist who is just keeping track - not interfering or saying anything, just capturing the moment for me to look back at it again later....This is the way it is, the photograph says, and I nod my head in appreciation. The power of art is in that nod of appreciation, though sometimes I puzzle nothing out, and the nod is more a shrug. No, I do not understand this one, but I see it. I take it in. I will think about it. If I sit with this image long enough, this story, I have the hope of understanding something I did not understand before. And that, too, is art, the best art." ~Dorothy Allison
