Twetarded.

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

I’m still figuring out this whole Twitter thing.  People that are really in to it put “twe” in front of almost everything they say.  For example their Twitter Friends become their “Twepole.”  First off, this is confusing and unnecessary.  Second of all, these people are Twetarted.  I think the whole concept of Twitter is kind of hilarious.  Nobody on the planet really needs to know what someone is doing that much.  Unless of course you’re a celebrity, then I absolutely want to know that you are “walking the dog” or “watching 24″ or “taking a shower.”  Louis C.K. (http://twitter.com/louis_ck) is one of my favorite comedians.  His one and only entry is “Sucking Dicks.”  He made this tweet roughly 3 months ago.  My response a month ago was “Wow, you’ve been sucking dicks for two months? That’s impressive.”  I also follow Kevin Smith on Twitter.  He usually talks about events that he’s attending or stuff that he’s working on.  I read his tweets, the only time I don’t is when he goes absolutely nuts and posts like 100 tweets in 10 minutes.  I’m not even sure how that’s possible, but whatever.  Occasionally, you’ll get something random.  For example today he mentioned how he was excited to get NHL10.  I am not going to lie, I so want to play him.  It’s a little tough to get through to him though.  I imagine since he has like over a million followers he probably got about 100,000 responses to that.  Overall Twitter is amusing.  I’m never really sure what to write though.  I try to keep it kind of general, that way I can let it sit there for like 3 days.  If you want to follow me, my web address is:

Tweet Bitches!

Saturday, August 1st, 2009

So, I’m now on Twitter.  I finally gave in.  I was looking for some actors and directors to follow but as soon as you try to think up that stuff, you draw a complete blank.  Normally I could name a string of them non stop for for 2 hours straight, but now, not so much.  I found Al Pacino.  I thought it was funny that Al Pacino tweets.  That’s just hysterical to me.
I made all these fancy new laurels on my lunch break at work that I wanted to post, but I left my thumb drive at work with Gabe.  I’ll post them on Monday.  I decided to make some myself just to standardize them and make them look good.  Right now, I probably should post some of that out take footage that I promised you all like 4 days ago, but instead I’m tweeting my ass off.  I’ll try to post it today, which means that it will show up tomorrow.  My video hosting site, Vimeo, takes a bit process videos.  Vimeo is a great idea.  Videos posted on it look clear as hell, there’s no stupid advertising watermark on your videos, and they give a certain amount of space per week.  It’s an interesting way of doing it and I think they do it so they can plan for the future and buy more space only if needed.  Here’s my thoughts.  Lets say they have 10 members and every week they give each one a gig of space.  Well, they know that every week, they have to have at least 10 gigs available.  Makes sense right?
Anyway, my Twitter URL is:

I have an app on my phone to work with it so I should be updating it while I’m on set.  It might be interesting.  I promise nothing though.
