Things that give me "Mixed Feelings"

Things that give me "Mixed Feelings"
1. The arial font
2. This is serious. Mockingbirds. I am by nature an animal and nature lover, yet the many sounds of mockingbirds are tumultuous to my ears, most especially when they occur in early morning hours. I admire the ability of these birds to mimic other species, but are they also not "Nature's Car Alarm" which will not be shut off, and screams out, pay attention to my infinite variation, I am truly a master of all voices?

3. Receiving free printers from people. I have befallen into this subtle trap many a time, and do not doubt that if you are a friend or acquaintance of mine and you have gifted me a printer I am surely grateful. And yet, let us look at this issue a little more deeply. Why, I wonder, was this printer being disposed of in the first place? Surely there was something at least remotely unsatisfactory about it. I have no printer, yet who is to say that this particular printer will make my life better. If I am made to believe that "it functions just fine, it may just need some ink" I will avoid its use until a key moment, when rushing out the door, I need it to work. And lo it does not work even after many downloading of drivers, various USB type cables and a multitude of efforts and high emotions exuding from me

4. Twitter. I joined this, and... I think the thing is about these 'social networks' is that by agreeing to take part you are agreeing to split your self into different pieces. Twitter makes this especially evident in that it eternally poses the question: "What are you doing?". Obviously if you answer the question you cannot be doing anything but typing, unless you are en route somewhere and still able to mobiley access, but still, you are typing. So if you answer the question you are implicitly lying. The eternal question becomes rhetorical and it must be replaced with answers to "What have you done? What will you do? Or more accurately, What do you think? These answers are then pasted into a history. It is understood that this history reflects at best tangential and limited tidbits from your life, but it still forms a picture of your identity. There are those who post only helpful links, those whose personality whims reign supreme etc. Each person must adopt a philosophy of self-representation in response to the ever looming anti-question "Why should we care?" And yet there is some sort of potential for unregulated discemination of information that seems good there too..
