Twitter = End of Civilization

If you want my fake, undeveloped answer as to why this blog is on the way to meet its maker, it's because of Twitter. You see, while I have not been blogging with anything resembling consistency (or quality for that matter!), I have been burning up the tubes with my tweets of hipsters, bad manners, amazing inventions, star turns, and more. The underlying reason is, of course, laziness.

Twitter gives me all the satisfaction of a blog (public forum for cracking wise/restrained vitriol, built-in audience, friends as followers) without any of the work (no idea development expected or even possible in 140 characters! wee!) or heartache (comments).

Basically, Twitter is the end of civilization and the antithesis of every composition competency exam. This is not to say that composition competency exams are civilization, but it wouldn't be a stretch to say that they are. In fact, if you set a composition competency exam on fire and stuck it in a wheel well and rolled it to another town, you pretty much have the last several thousand years of human existence. And Twitter negates the necessity for any of it, except fire. Just sayin'.
