Twitter Machine Tuesday

First of all, I'd like to welcome anyone visiting from Multiples and More.  I can't believe they actually chose me as a featured blogger.  Technically speaking I am a blogger.  I post a few things each week to placate myself more than anything.  But to be featured on a site that probably gets 1000 times the hits I do...inconceivable!

I'd imagine I'm going to have a lot of new readers today, so I'll say the same thing to you that I said to my wife on our wedding day "Prepare to be disappointed".

I write stuff about my kids and being a dad, but the one thing I never miss is my Twitter Machine Tuesday.  I don't want to bother with an actual Twitter Machine, so I post 140-character thoughts here on my blog.  Seems reasonable enough.  More often than not these posts have nothing to do with being a parent of multiples, so we're already off to a misleading start.

Enjoy the Twitter Machine
-Don't even bother filling a bracket out. The person in your office that knows NOTHING about sports will win
-This is true 97% of the time. The other 3% will be the blowhard who thinks he knows everything about sports. #noonecaresaboutyoursystembro
-The first case is more frustrating. The second case is flat out annoying.
-I'm picking Mizzou to win it all. I apparently have a follower or two from the Missouri fansite. #payback
-Snooki is pregnant and I learned about it through a meme  about the Mayans #endoftheworld
-What is the guy equivalent for what The Bachelor choosing this model chick means for every girl in America?
-The closest I've come to it is LeBron James and The Decision
-I love Corned Beef and Cabbage even though it really isn't authentically Irish #themoreyouknow
-Guinness on the other hand is authentically Irish and incredibly delicious
-Irish Car Bombs are equal parts delicious and uncomfortable to order at a Irish pub
-I don't know what this Doritos Taco is, but it sounds awful
-My wife is so angry about this Bachelor right now. Like livid.
-Did we really need Grantland or the President to tell us that Omar Little was the best character on The Wire? #bestnotmiss
-All I keep thinking while looking at the bachelor guy is Planet of the Apes #drzaiusdrzaius
-That shark feeding frenzy video from Australia is nuts
-I'll take earthquakes over tornadoes all day long. Sorry I just would.
-Planning on watching The Commitments and Once this St Patrick's Day #annualtradition
-Homeless people as wireless hotspots? GENIUS!
-Might convince my wife to see the new James Bond movie. Javier Bardem is the villain.
-Erin and I always do a one-on-one bracket against each other. She's going down.
-Better sports month: October or March? #toughone
-Circle of Moms. Vote for Renegade Mothering. That is all.
-You reach a point where your kids just look so old. It sneaks up on you.
-This KONY thing blew up quickly, but is posting a video to your Facebook actually doing anything?
-Normally I would ask for the day off on the first day of the tourney. It's my normal day off now. #FTW

Once again, welcome to my new readers.  Hopefully I didn't scare any of you off.  If I did, pansies.

Twitter Machine Tuesday

I've done a pretty good job of getting myself back at an acceptable weight over these last few months.  I'm actually down almost 20 pounds over the last 4 months.  This is without any sort of workout routine.  I need to get back on track with that.  It gives me more energy throughout the day and actually helps me sleep better at night.

I'm just worried that with Christmas right around the corner that I'll put a bunch of it back on.  Tis the season for eating way too many sweets, indulging in pie, having big meals with friends and family and spending more time on the couch watching all the holiday specials.  I may have to re-introduce a workout routine if only to undo what all this holiday eating does.  Because I'm certainly not going to stop eating cookies and treats.

And that is determination!

Do you want to pick snowberries Buddy?

-Whatever happened to those Magic Eye posters? With the 3D boom you'd think they'd make a comeback.
-Someone at Mizzou's fansite linked to my post on Pie vs Cake. I'll now be rooting for Mizzou hard. #allittakes #gotigers #marchmadness
-It is good to see that the pie v cake debate extends across the country through all fan bases
-Giving any athlete a 10-year contract that runs into their 40s is insanity #albertpujols
-Alec Baldwin on SNL made me chuckle, but it made me want 30 Rock to come back even more
-I don't understand getting kicked off a plane for playing Words with Friends. Hanging with Friends makes more sense.
-I didn't really see the point of this year's Simpsons' Christmas episode. I'm also not fond of any of the future episodes
-If I want an animated show that takes place in the future, I'll watch Futurama #andidowatchit
-Grace got a toy baseball bat for her birthday. Now she beats me with it. And laughs her head off.
-Luck looks like a good show. I was playing Angry Birds and not paying attention while it was on, but it LOOKED good. #hbo #shortattentionspan
-Chris Paul to the Lakers was an intriguing deal. In fact the Hornets "won" it. Stern should have allowed it.
-The Lakers gave up a position of strength to obtain a position of weakness. What was wrong with that?
-I always love all the Best of the Year lists that come out in December. Still just opinions, but fun to read.
-My albums of the year: Rise Ye Sunken Ships, 12 Desperate Straight Lines, Helplessness Blues, 21, Days #weareaugustines #telekinesis #fleetfoxes #adele #realestate
-And in case Dani is wondering why I slighted Wilco. I just haven't listened to the album yet.
-I've become an expert at ironing with a baby using my legs to stand.
-Is anyone surprised by Tim Tebow winning games he should definitely lose at this point?
-You can make a case for Tebow as MVP. Aaron Rogers doesn't have a meme named after him. #tebowing #FACT
-Knocked out quite a few beers from Yard House last week. At least one thing on my 30 by 30 list is happening.
-Ana and Grace have discovered jumping on the bed. Put them both in the same crib and they were bouncing away.
-I'm not kidding about Missouri. I'm penciling them to win in all my brackets.
-Also if I had a vote for the Wooden Award (which I obviously don't) it would go to Marcus Denmon.
-Ana is getting a little bit bolder on her "walking". She is now putting her foot forward and pulling it back.
-It's like a baby hokey-pokey
-I'd put together a list of best movies of the year, but I haven't seen any.
-Erin asked for booze or FroYo on Friday. Got vodka and ice cream and rented The Help #winning #besthusbandever #okaymaybeliketop1000husbands
-Is it bad that I haven't done any Christmas shopping yet? #11shoppingdaysleft

Now I'm off to go eat more cookies.  Weight be damned!
