I like the idea of Social Media. I have this blog, signed up for Twitter, avidly Facebook creep, and have all of the above set to blink on my Blackberry so that I don't miss a beat. Having said that, I don't think I'm very good at it - success comes from real time and relevancy, something that my most recent FB album of holiday pictures had neither of. My trend? One post a month and content that leaves something to be desired. At least, if I was to review my blog, that's what I'd say.
Today I took a quick trip to America sheerly through the magic of television and thanks to the Super Bowl. Without even leaving the comfort of my (parents) home, I garnered a greater appreciation for the place I call home and the people that make it that way. The quaint news cast of the local station no $3 million commercials to be found, the island wide news paper that features front page stories on ice skating over major world events and the sheer lack of football buzz around downtown Victoria today. With frizzy hair thanks to the constant mist throughout the day, I wandered the streets and shops owned and lovingly run by the people who live here. Before plunking myself down in front of a giant plate of nachos and the halftime show, sensationalist and fleeting. Social media doesn't stand a chance up against the island feel for community - and I love it.
