Twitter Stats

Justin posted his twitter stats last week and I was insanely jealous. Okay, maybe not jealous, but insane? Totally. No really, I thought “hey, that’s cool.” The script he linked to was for OS X, which I don’t use so I waited. Today I found a site that did it online. The stats are far uglier than Justin’s so I’m still jealous (at least still insane), but they work.

Tweets Per Hour:

Tweets Per Day:

Tweets Per Month:

Oh. What is twitter? It’s a grand time wasting scheme, micro-blogging it is often called. Read about it on wikipedia or go right to my profile and read my tweets. One of these days I’ll add my twitter feed somewhere on this site.

Overpowering the Overpowering

In wondering what to write today I came across this quote, by myself:

I’ve mentioned before that I have had, at times (every single time), a hard time waking up in the morning. Actually, that’s a little misleading. It doesn’t matter what time of day I wake up. It’s always hard.

So yesterday I woke up early! It was a holiday, no work! Independence Day! Whoo hoo! My alarm went off at 7:45 AM, I jumped out of bed and got on the computer. Then, I had this overpowering urge to go back to bed. But it wasn’t really overpowering because I overpowered the overpowering feeling, thus causing the overpowering feeling to not be overpowering because I was overpowering it with overpowering thoughts.

I wrote that in July 2007 and saved it in a draft post. For all I know I changed it a bit and actually posted it, but I’m not gonna go look for it.

I’m posting it now because I read it and laughed at myself. I know, so very humble.

No really, I’m posting it because I’m going to bed earlier tonight (I’m actually going to bed when it’s nighttime) than I have for the past two or three weeks. I figure I need some pretty overpowering thoughts to overpower the overpowering feeling with which I’ll feel overpowered (but not really because I’ll overpower it) when my alarm goes off. In other words, this post is a reminder to myself of what I am capable of: waking up without pressing snooze 4 gajillion times.

That’s right.

I rock.

How I feel vs. How I act

This is how I feel today:

Thomas sleeps

This is what I’m trying to do (no, I’m not literally trying to pull that face constantly):

Surprised face!

I’m guessing that the top one will win in the end. I just hope it doesn’t win until later tonight when I’m in bed.
