Tweet, Tweet: Am I Really A Social-Networking Butterfly?

Ok...so...because one of my favorite rednecks signed up for Twitter a while back, I followed route last August to try something new and different. At first, I didn't get it, thought it pretty lame. I'm still not that active, I'm more a Tweet-voyeur. I really just enjoy following celebs that are pretty Twitterific. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll be a Tweet-master like @stephenfry but for now, I'm happy to just follow along.

Today I saw something that I thought pretty ballsy or pretty scary, depending on how you look at it. I look at it both ways, of course. This guy is planning "to travel as far around the world as possible in 30 days, relying only on the goodwill of people using Twitter," and he's doing it for charity. Good luck with that. I for one though, am intrigued to see JUST how far he'll make it.

I truly don't know how I ended up with 25 followers. I mean, they must be really bored because as I said before...I don't do much. I don't even RT (re-tweet) every 2-3 minutes like @bobgarrett, the self-proclaimed "social networking expert." It's really difficult for me to tweet because I don't lead an exciting life, but if you want to know what I'm eating for breakfast or when I'm doing my next load of laundry, be sure to follow my tweets. I may just start making up stuff. Travel on a virtual vacation. Incite a virtual riot. Host a virtual event like Twestival. We'll see. More than likely, I won't since I like to stalk and not be stalked.

Does this really matter? Who reads this anyway? Seriously. Okay, fine. I'm probably the only Poli-pino you'll ever meet and I: like to cook up a good meal (but if given the choice I'd rather eat out); watch TV and films from here and there; love to laugh and try to do it often; hate to cry but end up doing so...and often; believe we ALL make a difference to SOMEONE at SOME POINT; love long walks on the beach, it's cheesy, I know, but I do love them especially with my family; wish I was as erudite as Stephen Fry, as cleverly comedic as (too many to name here) and as oblivious as Mr. Bean. Obviously I could go on...that's why I started the blog!
