Egoslut's Ego

Hey Internet! First of all, I’m sorry that I haven’t been around for the past week. I had inlaws in town so I was being all tour guidey and such. So the site got pretty much ignored last week. Then, I had a problem coming up with something to write about. I had a few ideas buzzing around my head, some moview reviews, some video game reviews, a few comical pieces. However, I really think I found a cause that needs addressing sooner rather than later. If I don’t do it, someone might just get hurt.

That’s right people! I’m talking about… NEW TWITTER USERS!!!

Twitter is awesome. We all can agree on that. So awesome, in fact, that it’s really gotten the eye of the regular media. With their recognition came the new Twitter user. You know who you are. You probably noticed it on Good Morning America, saw it referenced on an ad for 24 or heard about from one of your “computer-y friends”. It was probably explained to you like, “It’s kind of like having a site where you just do your Facebook status over and over.” It sounded stupid but you thought you’d give it a throw and as soon as you started getting 3 and 4 friends. You were hooked. You are now a Twitter user… or are you?

So I did Comedyworks open mic on the 9th and rocked the whole room. If you haven’t been, during open mic nights Comedyworks does a competition where they ask the audience to rate the comics and the winner gets a spot on the BOOM show. So I won that night along with Mike Meo. I have to find a place to really work my new material more but I really wanted to see if I put my mind to it can I win. I’m really happy but I am getting a little bored with this set. So come out to this show. i’m determined to win this set too.
