Spring Break approaches, and with it comes my annual “what I plan to accomplish list”. I have a number of projects that from this distance look quite doable. Yet, by the end of the week, I’ll be asking myself what I was thinking by wanting to tackle even a few let alone all of them.

I have virtually no work coming in right now, so my time is devoted almost exclusively to worrying about the house and taking care of the boys. This delights and worries me at the same time as it also means no additional income.

I very rarely go out and do anything socially on my own despite my wife’s encouragement to do so. It’s not a shyness issue, it’s more along the lines of if I’m not contributing financially, then I need to be doing more around the house even if it’s just being present.

I deleted my account on Twitter around Christmas time in an effort to start over with a new name/approach. However, I realized after a while that despite my efforts, my wandering mind was still going to treat Twitter the same way. I actually managed to find the original name that I wanted before I joined Twitter, so I took it over. Of course, I’m still having people appear that had been unable to find me or did not know that I had changed accounts.

Word of advice: get the names of the people you follow BEFORE you delete the account. I still have a slew of folks that I can’t find/recall.

I have the greatest kids a guy could ask for. And I’m not just saying that because they are mine. I’ve been told so by many people over the years. I couldn’t be more proud of them. It takes a lot of effort on the part of my wife and me, but it’s worth it. I feel like I succeed more often than I fail with regard to raising them and I’m in constant fear that the balance will change.

I use tumblr almost exclusively on my phone. It’s also tied to my Twitter, so I rarely reply or originate any content unless I’m ok with it hitting both places as the phone app doesn’t have an option to not send it to Twitter.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t use Tumblr a lot to read what many of you are posting and responding to.

Someone asked me my approach to my Twitter posting. I frankly don’t have one. I tend to post something as soon as it enters my head. This is often reflected in the scatter approach in terms of content, rating, and the quality of my tweeting. In particular the quality is quite inconsistent.

Every now and then, something will stick in my head and I’ll think about it for a while and refine the tweet in my head, but it’s rarely mulled over for more than 5-10 minutes.

One tweet exercise that I will do is to tweet something around a theme. They usually come in 3’s. If I’m having a lot of fun I may stretch it out for more tweets. This often results in a lot of tweets over an hour or so of time. It’s probably more of a turnoff for my followers, but I have fun with it. One of my favorites was when I tweeted the results of my beta testing of Twitter HD.

I doubt that even my wife has read this far, and this is why I haven’t posted a Truthful Tuesday before now.
