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.

every day is exactly the same
every day is exactly the same
there is no love here and there is no pain
every day is exactly the same
i’m writing on a little piece of paper
i’m hoping someday you might find
well i’ll hide it behind something
they won’t look behind
i’m still inside here…

every day is exactly the same, tried to escape the last song’s addictive quality only to have this nine inch nails song lodged between my ears… & on repeat…

//

you got the most
but nobody loves you
nobody has to
just because
just because

just because, i’ve gotta jane’s addiction song stuck in my head

watching the nfl season opening game online is not the same as watching it on television…

Ummmm… #beer! RT @ssspoonah: Football season starts tonight! Titans vs. Steelers. But what do we drink along with it?

Highland’s Clawhammer Oktoberfest or Leinenkugel’s Oktoberfest

this is the only time of the year when i wish i had a television… nfl…

//

i could also use additional income to purchase said oktoberfestbier…

//

i could really use an oktoberfestbier…

but there is another i seek… the new ipodtouch…

i shall name my macbookpro, hagar (for she is not my wife), & all her progeny shall be named ishmael.

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…

once again, i missed laaff… it used to be something i really looked forward to every year…

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…

the whole debate of english bible translations seems to be prideful and devisive… christian unity is spectacularly wonderful (yes, i’m a member of the national sarcasm society)…

mac os snow leopard

the only draw back with macos snow leopard is that an application & a printer driver are not compatiable yet…

haven’t been able to print neccessary documents all day & booksmart isn’t openning any of the files i’ve been working on during the last week…

mac osx snow leopard

just installed mac osx snow leopard, ate two cold pieces of homemade pizza & drank leinenkugel…

deactivated tumblrs

i noticed several tumblrs i used to follow have recently, in the last 2 to 3 months, been deactivated. anyone else notice this trend?
