I’m a slack ass slacker of a blogger, that’s no mystery. SO I thought I’d quick fire a bullshit rant in the milieu of “blogging about blogging for the sake of blogging” lameness.
Except this is about Twitter, and a list of More Things You Shouldn’t Tweet. Though I ain’t no Oatmeal.
Someecards. Some of the best snark on the Interwebs.
- News. If you weren’t there and didn’t see it your damn self, I don’t need 324 updates about the latest disaster or tragedy. Tweet your peace in 140 characters, then shut the hell up. If you have more to say, and just have to share your undervalued wisdom to the world, blog it.
- Weather. It happens, we know. If I want inaccurate forecasts, I’d watch the fucking news.
- Your inside jokes, plans. Twitter is not your personal chat room. Just like the “if it takes more than 2 text messages, then CALL!” rule.. if you’re just talking with your friends, and ignoring others who try to join in your reindeer games, take that shit outside (DM).
- Your wait. Everyone waits, you are not special. Don’t care where you are or what you are doing, the world will not run on your precious schedule. Only mine.
- Twitter. Not cooperating with you as you want to bitch and whine about Twitter not letting you tweet your cat’s latest exploits. Shut it, you’re getting your money’s worth.
- Bieber. #thatisall
What else are you sick of polluting your Twitter stream? Besides me.

I’m sick of tweets about waking up and/or going to bed. Stay tuned for my new Twitter-based series of tweets about my toenails. At least the twitter format will make it hurry along at a good clip. (Groan.)
Well punned, Tom. Tweets about the weather where I’m NOT. Don’t care. Tweets about waiting in lines, like your special and shouldn’t have to? And tweets about your exact geo-position matter to no one but your friendly neighborhood stalker, so what’s the point?
I’m sick of tweets about Glee. Glee sucks beyond any possible description. It blows. See? That doesn’t cover it. It really, really, REALLY sucks ass. That’s a little better, but it still does little to truly convey the seething hatred. If twitter ever adds a filter function the word “glee” will be the first one I enter.
Heh Jason. Never watched Glee but a few scenes here and there. YouTube = the ultimate time suck. I like musicals but it’s one of those hyped up shows that for every person or critic who’s told me how good it was, there’s been another to tell me how much it is a totally overrated hot mess of crap. But while were at it, I’m sick of folks live TV tweeting shows like play-by-play commentary. Just saying. I’ve asked Twitter to block all things Bieber, Twilight, Lohan, vapid house fraus of wherever, etc. from my stream, so when you get that filter working please let me know. Thanks.
