Chain Letters 2.0
While browsing new posts from my favorite preppy fashionista, I realized that it’s about time to tackle the “Web 2.0 chain letter” that seems to be invading collaborative outlets everywhere.
Chain letters have evolved over time… first with cheesy letters, then emails, and now in social media, where one can attach multimedia to answer questions or provide additional information.
Sure, it started with the Facebook – 25 random things about me, that we were all tagged in, and I’ve come across another one- “Show Your Heart.”
The directions state to show your heart…
Show your heart in one picture:
There's just something about these two trees that gets to me.
...one item of clothing:
Anything Jackie O had in her closet(s)
...one Disney Princess
Sleeping Beauty. No contest here. Maybe I'm just waiting to wake up too? (corny, had to say it, c'mon).
...one place (it’s a tie for me)
#1. Villa San Michele, Fiesole, Florence, Tuscany.
#2. Belhurst Castle, Geneva, NY (this one is more feasible)
...one poem:
for the sake of irony, my poem is about poems…
As a tool of cognition, poetry beats any existing form of analysis (a) because it pares down our reality to its linguistic essentials, whose interplay, be it clash or fusion, yields epiphany or revelation, and (b) because it exploits the rhythmic and euphonic properties of the language that in themselves are revelatory. — Joseph Brodsky
…one quote:
Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux. -Le Petit Prince (Antoine de Saint Exupéry)
And I can’t forget the final piece… to tag a few bloggers to follow up… so I know George will take this one on…
