Igster's Inklings

So, I have a friend on Twitter. Many of you probably know her. She is a social media genius and very easy on the eyes as well(win/win right? lol) She needs a little help getting to a conference called Summitup. Any of you that can help her, it would be greatly appreciated. No, she doesn’t know I’m doing this, not sure how she’ll even react. Here is a tweet direct from her.

“*Ahem* Any1wanna sponsor me to go to SummitUp? http://bit.ly/3UejfJ I’ll wear your shirt & give out your product & blog love! ”

Why am I doing this? Because she’s always willing to lend a hand to anyone that asks. If I need to I’ll add a paypal donate button for her.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Updated to include a link to her paypal page.  https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=XJEPG9fHZPML25SVQMTlO3khQD-qTmwkwR1uzZrYF0-EFfmmQV2QuZDoA8O&dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1fca8cb0621aa94a5f79f0a43673e1ec7bc7ccc4f7f65b31ba

I was remiss in my duties. I now take this opportunity to properly and formally introduce the head of our Standards and Practices Department. This is JDvB. Be nice to her, cause she’s mean err she deserves it.

One of the things I regret is not having patience when it comes to teaching my children things. Thank God my mom does. My daughter is 12 now(where did the time go?) She sat with my mom today and learned about using her sewing machine. She(my daughter) has had the machine for a few years now. I tried to show her how to use it, but lacked the patience. I regret that. However, I’d regret it more if she wound up hating something because I made the experience not enjoyable for her.

So, today, with Grandma she made a small pillow. It turned out very well for a first attempt.

Two of my favorite people in the entire world working together. The sewing torch being passed to another  generation. I hope my daughter keeps up with it, and I will do all I can to encourage her.

Let us see if twitter will play along today.

Today’s post will seem all rambling and random and such. First, when the hell did I become addicted to twitter? It used to be I could walk by my computer and be all, eh I don’t care about my timeline. Who needs all the tweetdecks and seesmics and whatnot?

Now I walk by(if I even leave my computer) and have to see what I’m missing. Honestly you people with a kajillion followers (shut up kajillion is so a number) I call bullshit. There’s no way you can interact in any meaningful way with that many people, or even keep up with a majority of them. I follow roughly 600 and hyave about the same # following me. Of those I keep up with 10% on any normal type of basis. Sure, the others go scrolling by in tweetdeck when twitter is not being a whore difficult. I may or may not jump into a conversation for a few tweets and then drift back out again. So most of these I must follow eleventy billion(Ok that may be a made up number) people are pushing content and not really listening now, are they? I didn’t think so.

Moving on, depression sucks. I am by no means ready for the paxil/xanax or whatever drug tv is pushing today. Nor am I mocking in any way people that have a legitimate need for such drugs. Over the years I have battled with what I’d called very mild depression. On occasion it has been to the point that I didn’t want to sleep and when I finally did go to bed, I wanted to stay there all day. I have these random occurring bouts of this shit. Sometimes chocolate helps. I cannot speak to any medicinal qualities but it works for me. I can be sitting watching tv or surfing the net and this kind of miasma just settles over me. I don’t feel any joy in anything. Luckily this passes relatively quickly, never lasting for more than a few hours at a time. Maybe it’s a chemical imbalance or something deeper. Why don’t I get it diagnosed? Because I abhor drugs. Any kind of drug from aspirin to pain killers to antibiotics.  I hate seeing , smelling, taking them. Of course if it’s between dying a horrible death or taking something, I’ll opt for the not dying thing. Otherwise, I want no part. I’ve heard too many stories of what being on drugs is like., and I want no part of it. I don’t need the fuzzy brain or feeling dead inside. I have enough shit on my plate. One of my very close friends was on something, I forget the name now, but he was telling me what it was like for him. He said that, he didn’t have suicidal thoughts, but the thought of dying no longer bothered him. UMMM hell no, no thanks I’ll pass on that. So I deal the best I can.

I hate ending this on a negative note, so I will include a clip of something that never fails to make me laugh. Or go to youtube and find any Eddie Izzard clip. I dare you to not laugh.

Warning: To know about the giggle loop,is to become a part of the giggle loop.

So, I’m settling nicely into my new digs here at (still need a name) company.  The move went fairly smoothly and only had a few minor glitches.

@street3 is still out dqinking err scouting out holes in the desert shooting locales. He’ll be back when he finds something good and or runs out of his #chickenmeth stash.

@chrishiter is allegedly getting his casting couch scotchguarded set up for  interviews and not new positions as previously thought. Ladies of legal age are invited to apply for a position under him at their earliest convenience. Please call or drop by to schedule your audition.

We have a title and now we need plotlines. You are encouraged to study @street3 for ideas. But, also are forewarned that doing so sober, may result in a certain mental instability on the part of the observer.

Please submit your ideas in writing in the comment section below. Once we have enough of a sampling we will put them in a poll and let the (people that couldn’t get out of it)volunteers pick their favorite. If your idea is accepted you will be eligible for some kind of prize. Make sure you report it to the IRS so they can take their cut. Also, you will be given a walk on role in an upcoming movie. Of course this will all have to be sorted out by our Standards and practices dept.

Now, we here at (dude we still need a %$#@! name) company are not above begging asking nicely for a donation/angel investor. I’m sure we can come to some kind of agreement that is in our favor fair to all parties involved. It’s a win/win situation. Plus you’ll be all famous on teh Twitter. That in itself is priceless, right?

So boys and girls and Carse get your ideas in. No reasonable suggestion will be mocked openly refused. However, any outright bullshit ideas will be rejected and blogged about across the intwerwebz. Cause yanno, for being a dumbass and all.

Hopefully I’m all moved in now. The WP-Uhaul just left a cloud of dust in its wake as it peeled out. I swear I heard the driver say see ya sucker. At least I think there was an ‘s’ on that word. I’m not sure what that means, yet. Seems like a nice neighborhood, so far.

Monday should see the start of more “Tweet the Movie” updates. I know you’re all clamoring for more, right? Thought so.

Thanks again to pokerplasm and sh3n3rd for their help.

This is what happens to Estonian thugs that take on Pokerplasm, inc.

From the brilliant mind of @grundy

Don’t mess w/ pokerplasm

Looks like Carse sobered up enough to dash off a quickie scouting report. It’s the kind of thing we here at “The tweet Movie Co.” have come to expect from him.

As for typos, well I’m not going to fix them. You can see what we have to deal with. Two words dude SPELL CHECK.

So, here it is in all it’s ummm glory

On location: Kansas

I’ve been out scouting a few locations in Kansas. God talk about a desolated piece of land. I can see why Dorothy hopped a ride on that tornado to the land of Oz. And by hopped a ride on that tornado, I mean took a shit load of acid and tripped her marry little balls off. Oklahoma is full of meth and cows, Kansas is full of meth, cows and wheat fields. Will this place be a good enough for the movie? After buying some meth from some dude (and by buying meth I mean, well fuck it, I mean I bought some meth). Now I’m really speeding, both internally and in the EXT. I take a left at a bunch of cows, pass a scarecrow (fucking pussy crows, scared of nothing), and I come upon this perfect location for the movie.

This spot is absolutely perfect! When I first spied that hole, the first thing I thought is, “hell I gotta stick my jimmy in that thing.” I climbed up and that hole is as big as casting director, @chrishiter’s mom’s coochie couch! Nonetheless, I believe this location can and will be perfect for, at the very least, 1 scene in the movie. Stay tuned for more movie location scouting reports!

Filed also under :Lock up your daughters America, @chrishiter is rolling out the pimp wagon err casting couch.

So, we have a working title as was seen in our last report. Our staff is falling into place(and not because the’re drunk). The twit famous  @Heathershea (hairstylist to the stars) on twitter just joined our family. @Sh3n3rd(aka her nerdy hottiness) Mitsi also agreed at gunpoint willingly to offer tech support as needed. we’re talking a star studded staff here folks. As some of you may know, or can read here @pokerplasm, inc was caught up in an Estonian centered conspiracy. He has since worked with Interpol and possibly Carmen SanDiego to get his twitter account back. Goon on ya dude, glad to have you back.

Next up, our intrepid location scout @street3 should be filing a scouting report soon. He was believed to be in Kansas at last sighting. There may or may not have been KS State Police involved. Our legal team is sorting out the details as of this writing. We of course, wish on the best for Carse. Because we don’t have the money to bail him out don’t want anything untoward to happen to him.

As for @chrishiter, he is, I’m sure a consummate professional and will not do anything to tarnish our good name. He will be starting in Chi-town and then driving from city to city in an effort to bed screen potential starlets to appear in our feature length film. What girl wouldn’t jump at the chance to star alongside Carse and @kingsteve?

That should do it for this update. Check back soon for reports from @chrishiter and @street3.
