Several months ago, I finally got on Twitter for real, and made comments and tweets and got all up in the magic, or something. It’s fun, but I think it’s warped my thinking.
I think of things all the time. It’s impossible for me not to think of things. That’s part of the reason I posted twice a day. I would think of something, and take off with it, and then write down everything. I ended up with long posts, and in some cases spread the thought over a few dozen posts. But Twitter forces you to cram all your thoughts into 140 characters or less. With that limitation, I find myself editing my thoughts so they will fit, or scrapping them altogether. Not saying all my tweets are comedy gold, or gold of any genre, but NO ONE’S tweets are all gold all the time – and it doesn’t matter! At 140 characters, another tweet is just seconds away.
I get bored with stuff. Not bored, but… I just feel like changing everything around. I don’t want to be the AC/DC of the blogosphere, cranking out the same two posts over and over and over. I’ve reached the end of this idea, for example, and I don’t really have anything else to say about it. So there.
Ahhhh, imagine – me with an under-1000-word post.

I only tweet when I see someone I know and feel I have something to contribute or respond. Otherwise, I observe….see…I’m watching you right now…yeah, NOW….
I just flashed you. Did you see?
I was looking the other way. Try again?
Boom! There you go.
I’ll never be the same again….again?
Nope. You can’t unsee that. Nor would you want to. I just got dripped on by a tree. That was odd.
It’s better than having a tree fall on you…I guess.
Or a bird dripping on me.
All your tweets are like Gold Bond and medicated, and stuff!
Are you saying you rub my tweets on you when you’re itchy?
Why a TV in a public restroom? Or any restroom? AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I’m not into “the twitter” (use “the” infront of that noun automatically ages me 23 years).
It happens sometimes in sports bars. And there is no such word as ‘infront’.
sorry – IN FRONT
Over the river and through the woods to grammar’s house we go.
Settle down, boyo
I hate sports (except hockey and soccer) and I dont’ like bars that cater to them. So there would be the answer as to why I’ve not seen them in the bathroom…oh and I don’t use the men’s room.
Well, la di da.
I see you’re less impressed with my overall persona the more I reveal about myself…
That’s impossible. I couldn’t be less impressed.
Sometimes less is more!
And nothing is everything.
And time is of the essence.
Yet has no meaning

All we are is dust in the wind.
LOL I started the blog because Twitter was too short. And I get the changing the post thing up. Your blog has personality…I love it.
I love that you love it.
Maybe I do need to try gettin’ my tweet on. I have no idea how you go about it, or how you get people to read it, or how it even works. But I can do long or short stuff. And sometimes I need a new challange.
Other than being on WP instead of Twitter, you are pretty much tweeting already in comments. You’d be great on Twitter.
So I just go to twitter homepage or something?
Yeah, and sign up. You can mess with your profile, but it’s not necessary. Much faster start than WP.
You convinced me, as you always do.
I did it. My first tweet was that heart/zipper line. Now see if you can find it. It is under my name… Arthur Browne.
Oh! I’m coming to find you, Arthur Browne!
My daughter couldn’t find it. I need to figure out what my ‘handel’ is, but I thought it was just my name… sigh…
I found you- you are @mrarthurbrowne
Have fun!
Thank you. I wonder how I got that name, because I just signed up as me.
Thank you. I wonder how I got that name, because I just signed up as me.
wait… I think you found someone else… I am @arthurbrowne1
But there is a picture of you with that name! I swear!
I need to check that out. Maybe I am both people. Or there is an imposter. I didn’t even put a picture in mine.
Turns out my daughter signed me up for it long ago and forgot… How funny is that. I am going to get rid of the old one, so please check pout the new one… @ArthurBrowne1
No… do not follow old vicking me… follow the new one… please…
Stop following the dead Viking. It is sick and wrong.
it’s @whateveryournameisinoneword – for example, mine is @hotspur much to the chagrin of some EPL fans and the cause of more than a few errant tweets. (Tottenham Hotspurs).
I’m his first follower! According to my Twitter app!
Nooooo- GINGER is his 1st follower!
And why are all your commentors so hot???
I noticed that too. Even if they don’t have a picture, you can just tell. All my readers are beautiful. Even the dudes.
Well now I just feel pretty… oh so pretty, I feel…
You are so beautiful… to me.
sigh.
my tweet is; @arthurbrowne1… I guess.
My daughter set up the old twitter account and forgot about it. Please check out the new one so I know if it works.
Don’t follow the old one, follow the new one… please…
It’s not showing up on the rhythm selectah!
Turned into a ghost, a ghoul or a spectah!
Stop following the dead Viking… it is just sick and wrong. And I… uh… he… is nowhere near as funny as me… stupid dead Viking.
Ninja is right. So I’m your second follower. But I RT about you first!
But I #FF and mentioned him first! And? I’m prettier.
I can’t find @arthurbrowne1 so far.
Blueberry head, we cannot find @ArthurBrowne1 .
Perhaps you need to look us up/ follow us so we can find you!
I am @GingerSnaap37
Mr Silly Person is @Hotspur
You are invisible!
Yes. That. I’m also known under @rickygervais and @lindsaylohan
Please try @ArthurBrowne1 and see if it works, because I feel like a freeking ghost.
I found you! I tweeted your name and there you were, all this time, just waiting to be discovered in the vast tunnels of the TwitterNets.
Welcome aboard!
Isn’t it strange to welcome someone to Twitter on WP? Instead of welcoming them on Twitter, like I did?
1. I am strange.
2. You’re just jealous I found him 1st
3. Shaddup
You found him first twice. I no giva sheet.
You’re not strange.
And no. I talk when I want. It just so happens that I’m done.
So I can go there and then follow you, right? It is like we are connected on so many levels… totally.
Now get a Groupon account! Just kidding.
Simmer down.
Seriously, look for hashtags based on puns, and you will have a blast.
What the hell is a hashtag? Is that like skidmarks? Or is it a drug?
Ed, I did a post and put you in it along with some good company. It is about tweeting. And your last name came up as a tag. How cool is that?
I got your hashtag hangin’…
Holy crap I missed a lot. I need to quit my job.
If reading my posts paid well, everyone would do it. It pays in satisfaction, though.
