SNOOKI READ THE 2 MAN WEAVE!!!- It's Your Weekend Tweet Re-Cap

Some of you may remember my Weekend Tweet Re-Cap from September 12th, where I made fun of Snooki's new Captain Crunch mustache looking crown tattoo on her bicep. However, the odds are that you guys have long forgotten about that post. Hell, even I had. That is until roughly 3 am Saturday morning, when a drunken debate prompted me to check twitter to see how many followers Snooki's Italian Stallion, Jionni Lavalle, has. My guess was somewhere in the 30k range. I figured out of Snooki's roughly 3.5 MILLION followers, that at least 1% would be pathetic enough to follow her douchey boy toy too. But when I went and searched for Snooki's name on my Blackberry Twitter app (the most logical way I sought to find a link to his page) something peculiar happened. It said "follow" under Snooki's name.

Hmm that's weird. I didn't remember unfollowing the self proclaimed "Princess of Poughkeepsie", but I also didn't think twice about why or how this may have come to, and once again clicked the follow button. That's when I was informed by a message on my screen that "Sorry you cannot follow this user (because they are blocking you)". "Whoa" I said out loud "This can't mean, what I think it means...right?".

The next step was to then try adding any other random person, to see if it was just a glitch with the system. I clicked follow on a random twitter account and BOOM, I was in there like swim wear. The final step was to sign onto twitter from my lap top (you know how mobile apps can be fishy sometimes) and see if the same "Blocked" message appeared at my screen. So there we sat. 3:15 am, the mouse anxiously hovering above Snook's follow button. Moment of truth just seconds away. I click follow and for an instant it seems that all order has been restored. Gary and I exhale as we stare at the newly formed "unfollow" button that has appeared before our eyes. But then, by some divine Internet magic, the button switches back to "follow" and the aforementioned blocked message pops up on the top of my screen (pictured at top of post).

So there you have it. This means only one thing. Snooki read the 2 Man Weave.

Sure, she then made a conscious decision to log in to her twitter account, type my user name in the search bar and subsequently block me, but still. Snooki read the 2 Man Weave.

Does this mean I have AIDS?

And now, the tweets!

This statement right here is irrefutable proof that coming in fourth place on American Idol does nothing to better the overall quality of your life. You know who eats Wendy's chili? Old people. Seriously, like the people who eat and look forward to the chili and potatoes from Wendy's are the same people who are literally knocking on deaths door. You've been nominated for Grammy's bro, turn it up a notch.

Have truer words ever been spoken? There is legit nothing more annoying than someone snooping through your cell phone. "Hey Tim check out these pictures I took from the ski mountain last weekend" and the next thing you know your buddy is reading your texts and forwarding himself naked pics of your girlfriend.

Any time you hand that sucker over to anyone else it's a lose-lose situation. If I'm showing you some pictures you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be the one doing the scrolling. If you want to be the one calling the shots on my phone, you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands.

I had this same exact thought the other night as I sat outside on my back deck sippin' on some Woodchuck's in my favorite gray hoodie. They don't call me Mr. October for nothing.

(They actually don't call me that at all)

TWEET OF THE WEEK

I briefly mentioned last week how I had went to go see that movie 50/50. I even started writing a review for it at one point, but gave up half way through. See I really enjoyed the movie. I thought it was funny, smart and incredibly entertaining. But see it was also very sad. For those of you who don't know, the movie is about a young man who gets diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Schwannoma Neurofibrosarcoma. His odds of survival are, you guessed it, 50/50. It's a story about friendship, survival and overcoming the odds, but in this case, it just hit a little bit too close to home for me to write about it. Five years ago this December, my best friend (and aunt) Joy passed away after a two year bout with breast cancer. Seeing Gordon-Levitt's character in the hospital with his shaved head was very hard for me at times, and I didn't think I would be able to give the film a fair review.

But then something special happened. I saw Stuart Scott's review of the movie 50/50 on my twitter time-line Saturday evening and in 140 characters he said all the things about this movie that I couldn't say myself. Scott, best known for being the fan-favorite anchor on ESPN's Sportscenter, is a cancer battler himself, and an inspiration for millions of people world wide with his positive tweets and overall outlook on life.

Cool as the other side of the pillow.
