recently i began tracking my fitness routine through fitness journal. there’s a food journal feature that has surprisingly captivated my attention. i caught myself this morning looking at everything i eat & counting the calories i just ate. coffee with agave nectar: 69 calories. Kashi cereal with whole milk: 422. last night’s yuengling: 128. yesterday’s cookie: 170.

twitter, i no longer love you
since the end of august, when i lost all the tweeple i follow & all the tweeple following me, my twitter experience has been lacking; even tweetdeck hates me. when i open tweetdeck ever column is blank.
one thing i really like about local tweets is staying informed with local events and matters & even weather/traffic related tweets. most of my national and international news i read comes from news organization tweets from bbc, financial times, der spiegel, nyt, & others.
the biggest negatives of the twitterverse include completely banal tweets (about waking up, going to a job one hates, eating a lousy lunch, bluh-blah, bluh-blah, bluh-blah) & social media elitism. to this end, i am seriously considering declaring twitter bankruptcy & deleting my twitter account.
the internet is correct

checking my igoogle this morning, i find that it is 129 outside! another example that everything on the internet is correct.

enjoy labor day (brought to you by the american labor unions care of the first democrat elected after the war of northern aggression – president grover cleveland) by quizzing friends & family on the following topics: debt, revolving credit, compound interest, representative democracy, & centralized control. that should be some stimulating bbq conversation…

facebook, i don’t love you any more
@facebook lemmings are really starting to frost me…
‘please post this as your status for the rest of the day…’ so other people know that by posting something in your facebook status you are good enough, and smart enough, and doggone it, people will like you and want to be your facebook friend…
