Charlie Day deleted his twitter.
You know, I was one of those fans that sat and watched the whole thing unfold on twitter and at my tag (lovepirate9) I did ask him to retweet me.
Basic version of the story: Charlie Day was talking to his fans... and people kept asking and asking him to retweet them and say Hi. He retweeted for a while...then he got seemingly frustrated..and made a comment about deleting his twitter account.
So...my theories are:
A. He left to spend more time with his son who was about to be born (and his wife). That may have been a semi-graceful exit?
B. the constant tweets drove him insane (not that he shouldn't have expected a lot of replies..people love him!)
Thats juat about all. Honestly..this blog sucks. However..there are fewer things more frustrating then writing up a giant blog..and it disappointing after you hit POST.

NO ONE should stand in the way of your dreams.
The other day, I was at a nice dinner with my family. Looking at the blow up alcoholic advertisements that were above us in the restaurant... I thought of one of my many inventive ideas that I consistently come up with but ends up going nowhere but a side thought that I think of often again and again.
My Mom butts in (oh I love her, but shes good at popping my idea bubbles) with “Don't you think that idea has already been thought of by some great inventor?” “Do you see your name next too GREAT INVENTOR or AUTHOR or something?” and “Being a dreamer gets you no where in life, your Dad was like that too and he never had a thing in life.” and something about me having my head in the clouds, I don't know, it was all kind of a blur as the conversation flowed.
Of course, segments of her words of wit used to have a way of dragging me down, but since ive aged ive learned when to ignore her opinions, and when to listen to her respectfully. As a kid, I idolized her, everything she said was right, and of course I flopped back and forth through the years.Then as a teenager, nothing she said was right, and now as a young adult we are not always on the same page, but I see where she is coming from a lot more. I have my idea on life and what I want to do with myself, completely different then what she has/had. Shes realistic, gets up, goes to work everyday and has an idea, that that is what life is suppose to be, that is the only way to make a living.
So, if my coffee cup can keep my coffee warm for hours after I brew it in the morning, if my client with very low circulation can have a device to keep her warm as she rests in the AM, if I can access an entire world of life at my fingertips and a keyboard, and do so from a phone, if I can take a pill to make a bad stomache or headache go away, then there must be more potential products just waiting for the right idea to boost it, right?
Anyways, yes, I do see my name next to author one day, nothing wrong with that, right? Inventor, not at all, but I do have some innovative products on the brain, I obviously have a lack of motivation issue (really, sitting blogging like this even takes a special kind of fire up my ass that I wish I felt more often because writing is something I enjoy).
Yeah, my Dad was a dreamer. He also had other issues that I believe were in result of him not being able to have much. He also was young when he passed away in a terrible truck accident when some idiot fell asleep behind the wheel. he never had the chance too show off what he could do, I am not sure, and will never know if he had what it takes, but I do know, that I can live that dream for him, since he never had the chance.
There are days I wake up, get to my morning client, and ask myself “what am I going to do the rest of my life?” I do not mind my job now, its stable, I have met some wonderful people, I also plan on sticking with it through school, or a big product endorsement, and even while I expand my art business thats in the works. I just feel as if, one of these inventive crazy as shit ideas of mine, can take off. Something that can help someone in need, or a new product that will be (even if) not a hit, available for those that want it.
I see nothing wrong with wanting to have a great future for my kids. I want to one day be able to make enough money to start Eddie's college fund (and my other future not conceived quite yet kids as well) and be able to take them places all around the US, and Disney trips of course :) anyways, dreamer or not, I see nothing wrong with trying. I do not want 80 something years of dreams that go no where, I want to be able to turn one into something special. Will I get that opportunity and do I have it in me? Well see.
