Why do I have this?

I have resisted and resisted.  I told my self that I would never create a twitter, and would stay as far as way from the service as possible.  I have always viewed the service as a way for egotistical people to gloat and show everyone else how unimportant their life is.  Either way, as of May 2011, I have a twitter because of an assignment in a class at Clemson.  In an effort to be not as cynical, I have put previous view aside and try to test out the service.  In all honesty, it works quite well, and alot of posts are comical and fun to read.  Regardless, I have learned that I am not as full of one liners and cool quotes as I thought I was.  Over a week, I think I have 6 total posts, with only five dealing with people.  Hopefully twitter will create some more value for me, even though I am completely contempt with reading Bill Simmons's updates or laughing at random hash tags.  So, if you ever get bored, follow me on twitter! twitter.com/jrdavis89
