What a great blog. Tweeting rocks. Almost as much as Wendy and her verbalvomit! Some would say a tweet is verbal vomit… hmmm I should tweet that

ps eli… verbal vomit and Jesus were not in the same sentence until now. lol. bobda – i agree journaling is just as narcissitic as tweeting… i kept a journal for years in college and now i tweet and i know no one else gets my mobile updates and i still do it cause – well, i’m narcissitic. and i guess i can’t talk as much as i think so i have to leave it somewhere. there it is, now you all read it! ha now i am validated! jk. but no really try to read my tone of voice on this one!

Since my tweets are protected & you wouldn’t see it:

Oh, no, we’re not discussing “Existentialism” tomorrow, because I not doing research before I can comment! It’s been 30+ years since I took Philosophy. And got a C.

ROFL. I did absolutely love the post on your adorable daughter. My baby is almost 23 & it brought memories back. It’s hard to have her 7 hours away. In a bigger city. I don’t get to see the look in those young mens eyes in the beginning. Let’s see what else? I covered the readability thing earlier, the fact that Brody is a trendsetter, hmmmm. Nope I guess that’s it. I’ll be back someday….

Yes didn’t Descartes say that back in the 1600’s “texto ergo sum”? Clearly, Journaling is far more narcissistic than tweeting because it shows a complete lack of concern for everyone else’s desire to read that journal. Thank you for your compassion toward humanity tweeters.

“I tweet therefore I am”

“I pay someone else to tweet, therefore I’ve got too much money and need to prove it and/or I’m boring without the help of others”

How come keeping a journal is introspective, but tweeting is narcissistic?

In reference to Brody, all I can say is that my official statement is that I can neither confirm or deny who eventually pushes send on every tweet.

Check out My buddy Luke everybody; http://lukemundy.com/?p=1457#comments

…and Wendy you crack me up. Although putting Jesus and verbal vomit in the same sentence is questionable. Hmmm…

Definitely looking into the readability of my sight Shellie. I have gotten feedback like that before. Anybody else having trouble with the ease of reading the font and style of this blog?

Be nice to Brittney! I will have to sic chris crocker on you (Kyle).

And yeah Emily, you’re right, Obama probably has better, wealth redistributing, things to do than wasting the hours that we spend formulating 140 character or less gems of genius literature for our friends amusement.

Luke is on the money. Surely it’s the great @brodyharper doing all the tweets for all @skorinc artists! His fingers would fall off if he did that! Yes, some of us tweet more than others, but many are @ replies. I don’t retweet alot.
I had never heard of twitter until last November. And guess who introduced me to it? Yep, Brody. It has been an awesome experience. And even though you don’t follow me back, I enjoy your daily pursuits with your vehicles and your play dates (guitar-type play dates). And about your wife’s photography. And, yes, especially about your daughter.
All of you (Brody, Kyle, Brody’s mom, Kristin, Colette, etc) bring a smile to my day. Or an appeal for prayer.
I do have one small complaint. My 52 year old eyes have trouble reading your blog. Not sure why, maybe Randy could tweak it a little?

I think it’s kinda lame for celebrities to be paying people to Twitter for them but do we really think that the President of the United States takes out his phone and sends Twitter messages to update us? I Twitter way too much and I’m sure people have probably taken me off their mobile following haha

When it comes to celebrities like Brittney spears, they are mere puppets, a pretty face to looke at. I doubt they are funny or entertaining on their own anyway. However, Obama was voted in based on his talking. If he can’t tweet for himself, then I’m not sure if that was him giving all of those speeches. I feel lied to.

Wait… Aren’t you a Skorinc artist? I thought @brodyharper did all of your tweets for you…
