Mike's Blabberings

If you’re like me, you’ve got a few friends on Twitter, but most others are hesitant to make the jump. Hell, I had a hard enough time convincing them (and myself really) to join Facebook. So what fun would it be if there weren’t any drunk pictures floating around, but rather just a slew of status updates?

Here’s some rationale I spewed at my hombres, only to be rejected immediately:

• So that all your other friends know what you’re eating and drinking.
• To benefit your career by showing your potential employers and colleagues your ideas out in the wild.
• “Group-text” everyone to plan festivities.

And really, it makes sense that they shouldn’t be twittering. I don’t want to hear when anyone else is taking a crap, so why would they want me to tell them as much? Why would I give away my next great idea? Most importantly, the majority of my text messages should never be seen in public, for fear that women and children everywhere would begin crying.

Maybe the problem is that I haven’t convinced myself that I should be on Twitter…
