I'm a geek. I'm pretty sure that's been well-established, but I'm not buying into this phenomenon. Oh, I've tried to, but it just isn't the same. The popular complaint is, "Why would I want to know about how you went to the grocery store?" Of course, these are the same clever philosophers that inundate my Facebook account with farming/mafia/jeweled crap that is even making Facebook annoying. For me, I'll stick with emails and blogging, thankyouverymuch. I'll stick with my version of Twitter: Bullet Points!
Some observations from the weekend:
- Well, at least Nebraska's special teams can score. This weekend's game (vs. Oklahoma) could be brutal. Thank God it's on prime time.
- Hawks....9-0. "Nuff said.
- What's the cutoff age for trick or treating? 12? I think if "-teen" or "-ty" is attached to your age, you should hang up the plastic pumpkin. It should be the same age as when you stop bringing your glove to a baseball game.
- I supervised the kids and their trick or treat exploits over at a friends house this Saturday....complete with a fully stocked rolling cooler. The best part? We weren't the only ones! It was like a neighborhood block party for the kids and the adults. Who the hell said that chocolate and booze don't mix? I'm on my way to Parent of the Year. I can just feel it.
- After my long run on Sunday, I open the door to a naked 2 1/2 year old wearing only his socks and running shoes. "Run, daddy? Run?" Ah, kids....
- I cannot stress the importance of stretching and hydrating oneself after a long run, people. I neglected to do both this weekend and I felt like I got hit by a truck.
- I'm convinced that Starbucks is slowly shrinking their drinks. And I'm not happy.

I'm going to have to disagree with the "ty" and no trick-or-treating. Free candy is free candy!!!
Yeah Starbucks and their whole "room for cream?" thing is such a scam. If you say, "yes" you get a cup that's half full (or empty if you look at ti that way. And yes, booze and snickers go great together. And not just on Halloween.
In total agreement with the Twitter comment.
Don't lie, you too only wear your shoes and socks for a long run.
I have never Tweeted, but it has NEVER seemed appealing to me. Seriously, I just have never gotten the point of it.
THANK YOU! I just DO NOT understand Twitter.
My favorite button on Facebook is "ignore"....it is nice to keep in touch with folks you don't see ever but I don't want to be poked or join your mafia war or join your cause to save two-footed poison rain tree frogs in BFE!
I like to converse the old fashioned way. My friends harass me for only checking my Facebook on a monthly basis.
As for Vanilla's inability to mix chocolate and beer? Well, we all know he's about as smart as a dingle berry.
Now, now...Starbucks is just trying to help the environment by shrinking their cups. Think about all the trees that can be saved....Ah, shuddap and give me my damn coffee.
Thanks for the tip btw, I know what I am dragging along for the trip next Halloween.
I love Twitter. It's how I find the bulk of my news and such now.
Twitter makes no sense to me. Isn't that what the FB status thing is for?
So, what's a long run for your these days? 2.5 miles? ;)
Wow...really? Has Facebook really infiltrated the middle-aged (sorry bud, reality) sector that much? You people have too much time on your hands.
Twitter is pretty cool...it's like a down and dirty instant messaging client that you can use anywhere on anything. I think you're just revolting because you get too many tweets about the Cornhuskers poor play.
I can't speak to the stretching, but when you hydrate with canola frying oil and high fructose corn syrup at the sketchy Hollywood Diner, you get what's coming to you. Mother Nature will have her day. Oh yes, she will.
I really hope that your kid didn't see you leave the house in a simliar get up and decide to follow suit. Because a. brr. and b. ouch.
YES. I completely agree with the twitter. There is just SO much garbage to wade through. Honestly, a blogger buddy of mine has his twitter acct port over to Facebook. That seems to work realty well. That way I don’t have to see all of the @SuziePostsALot replies.
This got me thinking about other parenting things that you can mix drinking with:
-Soccer (duh)
-Homework
-Golf lessons
-Trips to the library
It is strange that my wife hasn’t wanted to have kids yet, I’m a NATURAL!
