A blogger’s soliloquy about tweeting:

To tweet or not to tweet: that is the question.

Whether ‘tis nobler in the CPU to suffer

The bits and bytes of outrageous bloggers,

Or to take arms against a sea of electrons,

And by opposing end them? To die: to go into sleep cycle;

No more; and by cycle to say to lift the stack

The heart-ache and the thousand volt shocks

That non-flesh is heir to flesh, ‘tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish’d. To die: to go into sleep cycle

To sleep cycle: perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub;

For in sleep cycle of death what dream may come

When we have turned off the power,

Must give us pause: there’s the respect

That makes calamity of so long product life cycle;

For who would bear the bumps and power downs of time,

The operator’s wrong, the proud programmer’s contumely,

The pangs of despised machine code, the law’s delay,

The insolence of the head programmer and the spurns

That patient merit of the unworthy takes,

When he himself might his silence make

With a bare screwdriver? Who would encumbrance bear,

To grunt and sweat under a weary life of typing,

But that the dread of something unrecoverable after it finds death

The undiscover’d code from whose goal

No electrons returns, puzzles the will

And makes us rather bear those faults computers have

Aw hell I’ll tweet on Twitter and be done with it!

This is my adaption of Hamlet’s soliloquy “To be or not to be” by William Shakespeare.  It is my interpretation of someone deciding if they want to tweet on Twitter.  While this is a bit of fun on my part it is my hope that some of you will enjoy my version of this time honored soliloquy updated to the twenty-first century.

To be able to poke fun at myself at the same time is also what I am doing with this post, as I did not start tweeting until after I started this blog.  And I thought that I would share this bit of fun with you the reader to as they say “Tickle your funny bone.”

Also, I have to admit that some of the references will not be understood unless you are a computer geek, hopefully you can lookup what you do not understand.

My deepest apologies to Master Shakespeare.
