Little rant for the evening…

Good evening readers. (In this case “readers” is the term I casually use to act like I actually have “readers” when in fact…I am simply writing to myself a bit to vent.)

so.

It is absolutely amazing how loopy you can get when you’re tired, sick, and have taken a sizable shot of Nyquil to have an easier evening.

Well…when I say “you” I obviously mean “me”…unless…umm…nevermind.

So…in case you didn’t see my tweet, you should all google “askew” so you can see what its like for me every day.

Not the “askew” part per se, just the googling. I am asked to “google” things on a professional level so often that you might honestly wonder how I actually got into all this. Which was simple. A decade or so ago, I use to keep a journal. Shortly after a violent break up with the restaurant industry I started keeping my journals in electronic format. LiveJournal, then C2…at one time I was even using phpbb. Until finally after a gazillion hosts and many many blog platforms later…Wordpress won me over. Of course I am a great big dork. Mainly because every one in a while I have to say ‘Tony is a dork’ in my posts so that I come up on the search engines properly…that is…by searching for ‘Tony is a Dork’ you might still find me.

I did mention I am a little loopy. Mainly sleep deprivation of the “under-a-day” kind. We used to call that “wedging” – if you were awake for so long that you started feeling drunk…yeah thats wedging.

Luke the Cat - TonyTown.comAnyhow. I should probably introduce you to my assistant blogger, Luke.

Luke the cat is a little bundle of insane cat whoopass that you all know kittens to be.

He is lovable all the time. He plays with absolutely everything. His favorite toy is a straw, which you can use to make him climb up anything, including innocent roomies that dont realize that a spastic kitten is about to climb them like their life depended on it. He also feels my sandals are mice in disguise and attacks them regularly. And when he gets tired he gets absolutely adorable by climbing up my back without notice so he can curl up on my shoulder while I am typing. (Not joking…he really doesnt care what I am doing, when he wants to sleep he meows twice and if I havent picked him up he climbs on his own.

So yeah. I am really tired now, even the cat is passed out, and I just realized I wrote about nothing on my blog, so I’m fired and tired for the evening. You guys have a great one and hopefully my next post will have something remotely umm…relevant…in it eh?

Night!

Drew Carey ups the offer: $1 Million for 1 Million Twitter Followers.

He is doing it again!
As I mentioned earlier HERE, Drew has really turned on the heat for his offer to entice everyone on Twitter to follow him.

He is now offering a million dollars for the @Drew handle (you should follow him at @DrewfromTV)

He is now offering to give @Livestrong (also known as the Lance Armstrong Foundation) if he gets 1 million followers on Twitter by the end of 2009.

If you were on this bandwagon before, now would be a good time to get on…if would take like 2 minutes of your life and it’s for a good cause.

Drew Carey offers $100k for 100k Followers on Twitter.

Drew Carey (aka @DrewFromTV – you know, the really funny guy) is offering up some serious dinero involving Twitter.

First, earlier he offered $25k to the owner of @Drew for his rather swank Twitter feed name.

Later, he turned around and did something even more awesome.

He’s officially offered to donate $100k to @Livestrong (also known as the Lance Armstrong Foundation) if 100000 follow him by November 9th.

So here’s what I am asking…

…lets just forget #followfriday, it’s now lame.
…lets move on this one little goal.
…get on Twitter and follow him.

This little action will make you warm-n-fuzzy!!!
