Twitter

So, its probably not a surprise to anyone that I don’t sit in front of a computer all day. I don’t even own a laptop. Sometimes when I think of blog worthy stuff I’ll take notes on my iphone, but in reality that hardly happens.  Most of the time I spend on the Internet is via my iphone. One of my latest addictions has been Twitter.  But i’ll talk about that in a minute.

On the BMX side of life things have been slow.  If i try to ride flatland with my daughter around she will bug the shit out of me until I stop trying tricks and agree to play tag or ride around the block. So, in order to avoid frustration, I don’t even try to do tricks around her.  I have been riding with he regular Atl flatland dudes every Thursday. Last Thursday was dope. Jon Dowker came out from Athens and ChillyO stopped by to check out the scene and say whats up to some old friends.

When you decide to not keep secrets and make your life available to everyone on the Internet, things can  get a little awkward sometimes.  I’m not sure exactly who is and isn’t reading this but it doesn’t really matter.  I continue on in my semi-single life. I only say semi-single because i need to finish my divorce paperwork, something i should be doing now.  I have been meeting cool and interesting people, however I remain jaded and emotionally unavailable.  I have a knack for sticking my neck out, and just dealing with the consequences, but it wears on you after a while.  I actually went out to eat with my kid and my ex the other day. I was already in a shitty mood so I’m sure i looked like an asshole but i don’t really care about that either.  My kid wanted to see her, she wanted to see my kid, and she offered to pay.  I won’t be doing that again.

MJ died. I found out about it on twitter.  I was just checking on my phone and the rumours were just starting. I then followed twitter on my phone and watched the news to see if it was true.  It was the first time I’d used a social networking site to follow breaking news.  It was amazing, everyone was popping off with updates. It happened again but on a way smaller scale yesterday when Steve McNair was shot and killed. I was bummed when MJ died.  I love music more than anything, and Ive been listening to him since i was born.  I went to get a MJ tatt the other day but my dude at the tattoo parlor was booked.  We’ll see whats up next week.

So, yeah dude. Twitter.  I’m all about it. If it weren’t an app on my cell phone, id never use it.  But then again I’d never use facebook either, or check my email. My fave thing is to find people to follow.  I follow a few celebs, bmx pros, rappers, and porn stars. but my fav people to follow are just normal ass people.  As long as they seem interesting and don’t post a bunch of links to other shit, i’ll follow them.
