Ouch! This is killing me!

Quickly you wrote, “You’ve become a follower!” Other’s assumed, “What’s knocked you off your positive path?” A few challenged, “A master of thought can do it in less than 140 characters.” The majority felt my week long challenge to become Twittered or Face Booked was uncomfortable.



I write 15, 30 and 60 second radio commercials that you tune out 1.6 seconds after they begin...I’d say Twitter still doesn’t have your imagination mastered.



Books and well written newspaper articles once inspired readers. Keyboards and computer screens scream afternoon delight. If we truly want less words…why do we spend so much time talking on cell phones?

True writers have something to say on Twitter…everything else is a waste. Who cares if John Mayer is walking into a mall? Kevin Smith’s best joke is the Twittering idiot he’s making of himself. If Twitter is going to get Conan O’Brian better ratings this fall…lets see him perform a monolog in 140 characters.



What if the Declaration of Independence was written in the Twitter format?



No wonder they keep creating new taxes…they have us at, “Hello.”
