Well Worn In

I tweet. Most of my friends don’t. It’s even safe to say that most of the people I’m surrounded with don’t understand twitter, they’re confused about what it really is.

I’ve always been at a loss trying to describe twitter. “You’ve just got to try it, man.” But I think I delivered a pretty accurate description tonight:

These days, if I send you a text, you’re obligated to return the text. That’s accept. Twitter is like sending an open ended text to your friends, with no expectation or hope of receiving reply. It can be replied to directly via twitter, brought up in conversation, or simply never even acknowledged.

Just out of curiosity, I twitter searched “Jay-Z tickets,” after I nabbed mine.  The results were the most almost humorous.  A range of emotions from pissed at missing out, to excited about getting tickets.  But all the reactions had one thing in common: poor grammar.  Ca’mon people!

If you’re gonna put your opinions out there, at least make sure they make sense! The only thing you’re doing is making yourself look like you don’t care, like you’re uneducated, and like you’re dumb.  I’m slightly embarrassed for some of these people.

Consider for a moment, a future employer doing a quick google search of a potential employee.  What does ” lmao why are all the mothafuckas who didnt plan to buy jay-z tickets going so hard to state it? and hate? who cares u aint cop…no1 asked,” (@Ronald_Hyde) say about you?
But, that said here are a few of my favorites:

• RT @Supreme_LE i dont give a flying fuck bout no jay-z tickets. its dipset 4 life « 42 year old sandals wit jeans nigga (@GUESSWHOPEEDI)

…sweet man

• Smh @ people who “bought” jay-z tickets just to tweet about it. Pathetic. (@Cocoa_Pebble)
  

What?  I’m sure no one’s sole intention in buying hova tickets was simply to tweet about it.

• I just got 6 tickets for the jay z concert all I néed is 2 for me n my bitch. The rest goes for 600 a pop. Negotiable : ) (@Kells_Major)

Does your “bitch,” know you refer to her as such on twitter?  I especially like how this guy is hustlin’ via twitter. Classy.

And this is by far my personal favorite:

• @Pr3tty8oyAc3 am I am callin my dad and askin if he’s boss has jay-z tickets lol cuz that dude stay be gettin tickets lol (MsMellyBaby)

I could really just let that one speak for itself.  But, I cannot resist this.  First of all, whoever your boyfriend is, his twitter name is about to give me an aneurysm (look it up). Second of all, your tweet makes NO SENSE.  What?!? “His and “He’s” don’t even sound the same!!  I almost tripped over the end of the sentence, “dude stay be gettin tickets…” Please. But of course, she can remember the hyphen in Jay’s name.  Third of all, if I were your dad, I’d buy you a book, a dictionary, and a reading lamp. Not a Jay-Z ticket.
