The thing I like most about meetup
So I've been thinking about the whole meetup thing. I'm pretty excited. The thing I like most about meetup is that...
You actually meet up!
These days it seems like most people are only about talking to people or being friends with people online. Or people they work with they claim to be friends but then after work is over... that's just it... it's over and they don't socialize outside of work!
I can't wait till wednesday for my next meetup! I've also scheduled one for Saturday morning. It's just awesome actually having people to hang out with in person. It's weird because for some reason very few people seem to want to hang out in person. They are fine with tweeting at me or emailing me or commenting on facebook or this blog. But when I go to email them or text them and say hey... let's grab a beer! Or hey let's hang out and do karaoke... or hey let's watch a movie!
They just don't seem to have any interest. But as soon as I post a blog or tweet? They are ALL about reading it.
It makes me feel a little down on myself actually... like what's wrong with me that I'm not good enough to actually spend time with in person? And the thing about it is... all the people who I interact with online... I used to hang out with or know in real life.
But then for some reason or another beyond me... they just don't seem to want to hang out in real life any more! But that's where meetup comes in.
The people on meetup are always interested in well... meeting up!
So that's what I like most about meetup.
I've found that I definitely like to be socially interacting with people in person a lot. The online thing is great but I think it's a good tool to coordinate people actually meeting up!
I guess it just makes me sad to know I have all these people that used to be in my life that are no longer...
It's kind like that song... somebody that I used to know... Because... now they're all just somebody that I used to know.
But maybe that's life? Maybe no one sticks around for more than a fleeting moment and there's always new people and always new relationships. I dunno... so far it seems that way. I guess that it must be true for so many other people because the song seems to be a number one hit... there's like 149 MILLION hits on it!
Maybe there are so many views because so many of us can relate to it... Maybe so many of us have people in our lives that are just somebody that we used to know...
