Here is a list of the things that come to my mind right before I post my actual status at FaceBook, right after reading its customary question: “what’s on your mind?”
· I wish I knew. There are so many layers.
· How should I know for sure? There’s so much going on! There’s work, and parenting, and marriage, poverty, the future of humankind, super strings theory, God, Obama, the menu for tomorrow’s lunch, Lost’s Finale, eating healthy… Damn! I’m getting restless. I’m sooo confused.
· Why do you wanna know?
· What does it all mean? The Dharma Initiative. The Others. The nuclear explosion. The two plane crashes. Leaving the island. Coming back to the island. The parallel reality. So many unanswered questions? (I wonder if there’s a PR strategy in there…)
· If I put a link to this cool HP initiative in there would they think I’m a douchebag?
· If I put a link to my new blog post would they think I’m a showoff?
· None of your damn business.
· If I posted what I’m really thinking would I have any friends left? Would I go to hell? Is there a hell? I wonder where it would be, and if I can make some improvements when I get there…
· Why do you care?
· Maybe I should put something more useful in there, instead of what I’m doing or thinking. Like a nice, smart quote from Da Vinci, or Einstein?!
· Maybe I should be more personal so that my friends and family know what I’ve been up to, instead of all these intellectual, or self-development crap…
· Trust me, you don’t wanna know.
· Sex, sex, more sex. But I’m sure I wouldn’t get away with posting this at FB.
· What do my friends really think when they read my status? I think I don’t wanna know.
· Too many Brazilians here now. Maybe I should put a translated version, like Paulo Coelho?
· Why do I bother?
· Who am I really writing this to?
· Nothing that matters anything to anyone but myself.
· What’s the meaning of life? What’s reality? Am I really here?
· F*@#! That’s my 5th status update today. How do I shut down my mind?
· Nah! I shouldn’t write that.
· Uhm! This may be funny.
· All right! If you may know…
