Live forever is a frigging great song - and the case for twtxt

I am working with an Oasis playlist in the background, and "Live Forever" just came up. It's a fucking great song.
I have nothing to add to the topic...I don't know anything about music, and the lyrics aren't anything too deep that I feel I should add commentary.

This is the kind of content that could have been a tweet, yet I am off Twitter[1], and I can say it here - that's what I am doing...and that's the reason I have a website I guess? To put out there whatever I feel like saying?[2]

I started this post because my first thought was "this is the kind of thing I would use twtxt for!!!", but now while writing it, I realize a few things:

It would dilute the little content I have between two places.
If ease of posting is the objective, then I might as well make writing a regular post easier. Within reason, a little friction is always good.
Adding "twtxts" to the homepage, like I was planning to do to mitigate the first point, would increase the website complexity.

Writing this took just a couple minutes. How do I know? Because "I Hope, I think, I Know" went by, and now "Cloudburst" is playing. So like, around 10 minutes?
If whatever I feel like saying is not worth 10 minutes, then maybe I shouldn't say it?[3]

I guess there's another, deeper and maybe less rambling, post to write about why so many of us have this need to express ourselves, put our thoughts out there for others to (maybe) read.
Narcissism? Attention-seeking? Enjoy the exercise of writing? Some creative aspect? I am not a big fan of the "blog about blogging" thing (this post is meta enough as it is) nor do I think I am the kind of thinker that will arrive to a novel answer about any of these.

All I know is that "A Bell Will Ring" just started, and that if Oasis doesn't split again by the time they come to NYC, I should take the chance to see them live.
I bet tickets will be super expensive... 😬

Footnotes

Even before the recent events, I was trying to stay away from it as part as my half-hearted attempt to get off social networks.
Popularity arguments don't matter, I don't know how many, if any, readers has my site. Just like as far as I knew, nobody read my tweets anyway, but that didn't stop me from using Twitter back then.
Which doesn't imply that the things I do say are worth saying 😎
