I’ve Finally Caved: Twitter

I wont be twittering about just web, although that will probably be the bulk of it. You'll see my thoughts on how I find it absolutely insane the Packers chose Aaron "Out-For-The-Season-Twice-In-Three-Years-And-I've-Only-Played-In-Five-Games" Rodgers over The Legend, how great I am at soccer, and how furious I get when failing GTAIV missions.

    I have on twitter for a while and have to say i started with following a bunch of people and it does get ridiculous, random twits are aggravating, but I guess to each his own; now I’m down to following 12 people and about 120 followers…but I read your blog all the time and have to say you will be the next follow.
