Currently semi-injured runner into awful music, unpopular politics, straight edge, veganism, scifi, motorsports, and internet memes. I smile often. This site is also where I can expand on my twitter posts.
Recovering runner, road bike n00b, Catholic, herbivore, dad. Into unpopular politics, current events, awful music #straightedge, scifi, & good natured ribbing!
So those are my last two twitter bios, I thought I’d do sort of FAQ (Paul Harvey rest of the story? Trivia?) for Twitter to help people who follow me. Not that I have thousands of followers but just thought maybe it might help you understand why I do what I do on this medium.
I used to run a lot before I got my knee injured, I am terrified of recovery, and so have been riding my bike a lot. I write about it here.
I don’t often write about politics, but if I do I write it here or here where I have been honored to join the wonderful folks at Misfits Politics.
- I don’t cuss in my tweets. I run a PG maybe PG13 account at the most, ok R at times, but no foul language! Perhaps adult themes?
- I don’t take it personally if someone unfollows. I know I say I post about those things above but sometimes I don’t. It’s cool! Follow who you want when you want. No big.
- I will follow (generally) if you ask me or if you and I engage in conversation.
- I don’t like following folks who RT a lot without adding in their own 2 cents. If a majority of your twitter offering is simply RTs, I don’t care if you are a vegan sxe Republican with free tickets to see Bolt Thrower overseas, it will drive me nuts! Note that I’m not asking you to change your tweeting style, I just won’t follow!
- I make a serious effort to be nice. If I am snarky, I try and be gentle about it. I am polite in face to face interactions, but also make jokes at my own expense, twitter is an extension of this.
- I have an “A List” of my favorite twitter folks, if you’d like to get higher visibility, ask!
- I love when bloggers update via twitter, love it. I don’t mind if you post about your blog entry twice! You are like a human RSS feed! Even if I don’t tweet you back I will read the entry, trust me.
- I make a concerted effort to read every tweet.
- I rarely, I mean RARELY tweet when I am angry, upset, annoyed etc. The majority of the times I am stoked, because, well – I am like that on this side of the keyboard.
Hella. Hey dude, what’s up?? It’s been almost a lifetime, hasn’t it? I got to visit Andre last year (almost a year, time sure flies). It sure was awesome, hanging around and dagging after 20 years but at the same time it sure felt as if it was just yesterday! Anyway, man, get in touch, drop me an e-mail, no facebook or twitter for me yet… Old school, you know. Congrats on the family, cheers, 43, easy!
