A Brief Twitter History Of The Author - 2011



by brettmerritt (bio)

I contend it's a selfish exercise posting blips and blurbs from Twitter and passing it off as a blog post. Seattle Jon contends that Twitter "by its nature is self-indulgent," which is probably true.

Either way, my tweets are sometimes funny, sad, mean, or nostalgic. They are often inappropriate. The main reason for publishing this trip to tweets of years past is that I hope someone can get a little enjoyment from it.

Here for your reading "pleasure," are my "best" tweets from 2011. You can also read my best tweets from 2009 and 2010.

February
  • Today's Moment of Awesomeness: Hearing my daughter (1st Grade) read to me in French about zoo animals.

June
  • You can think whatever you want about me for saying this but ... I'll probably cry when Steve Jobs dies.
  • I'm 0.390625% Cherokee. Think about that before you ask me for a gift. I will probably ask for less than 1% of it back.

  • Her eyes got really big and then she said, "I'll just finish my ice cream."
