Twitterers

You know how some people are about America - “Great country but it’s full of Americans”. I think the same logic can be applied to Twitter - “Great platform but it’s full of Twitterers”.

Stupid is

Stupid is:

Running a 16km race having done absolutely no training.

Idiotic is:

Not learning from stupid and 3 weeks later running a 15km with no training.

Brain Dead is:

Coming Soon.

We don’t like naked

Naked makes us feel uncomfortable and we are a country that hates feeling uncomfortable. It is why we skulk away whenever anyone whips out the race card and why we scream pornography everytime someone shows a boob, a bum or a well-groomed tarantula.

Not a Tweeter

Twitter, for me, is like Heat Magazine without the pictures.

I haven’t made a single resolution this year. Not one. I think I deserve a huge pat on the back. Instead of setting myself up for inevitable failure I’ve embraced the unknown.

Normally, on the 1st of January, I sit myself down and come up with a few stress-inducing yearly guidelines. I’ve found, after years of repetition, that I initially measure myself and my success against others’ achievement-rulers.

Obviously I have, for the longest time, had absolutely no idea what’s important to me. What do I regard as success? Is it A: buckets of money, B: fame, C: having consistently great hair, D: something more or E: none of the above?

On some level not attempting to stick to stupid, sorry to those who made them, measures of yearly success is liberating.

This year I’m skinny-dipping in the universe and I don’t care who sees me.
