Twitter, a social network that allows individuals to voice their respective opinions and say whatever it is that may be on their mind. The simple press of a button can view your thoughts, ideas & perspectives viewed by anyone else on this site. Throughout the year that I have been “tweeting” I’ve sat back and noticed certain “trends” that seem to for a base outline of such a diverse place.
Let’s see if you agree…
Each day begins with Morning Motivation. Whether it’s the “Good Morning Tweethears/Tweeties” or maybe the motivated thugs “Rise & Grind Twiggas!” this is something that the majority of our followers will tweet before they even get up to rid themselves of morning breath! Half of these individuals will later go into how they are on their way to work, while the others are too hung over to continue tweeting, so they head back to bed.
But back to the people who are on their way to work, or shall we say on their way to “GRIND”, jump into full motivation mode. With all the motivational tweets seen in your timeline one would wonder how anyone of your followers are unsuccessful. This group of individuals all need to place the word Deacon/Mother in front of their respective twitter names, for they all turn into @RevRunWisdom protégés…
But by Mid-Day/Afternoon all the inspiration is gone. Where does all this wisdom and motivation go? Ahhh yes…they slowly diminish, and ironically transition to the Afternoon Struggles.
All the “grinders” that were “oh so motivated” seem to hit an instant switch and they become rather irritated. Everyone now “hates their job” at this hour and no one knows “why they came to work”. “I’m hungry…” “Fuck my boss!” “My feet hurt”…everyone is going through something and they all air it all out on Twitter. Now, the individuals who didn’t go to work also have struggles. Men are usually arguing about something regarding sports news, while all the women are usually upset with Derwin from watching countless hours of #TheGame. Let’s not forget that “Everybody HATES Chris” around this time, and if you are not in the following categories listed you are more than likely complaining about how hot it is outside, or how it needs to stop raining. Looking at your timeline around the afternoon would lead you to believe that the world was ending or something.
Wait but wait, there is hope…
The Eventful Evenings! Everyone is excited! People are either ecstatic about being off work or they have just been that bored that they know twitter will “pop” around this time because the other group of people are finally off work! All the while, everyone is on ONE MISSION, and that mission is…”WHAT’S THE MOVE!?” This is the one time when every follower puts their minds together to come up with a plan of events for the night. Club or Barhopping? BBQ or Pool Party? Hot Box or Pre-Game? No one knows exactly what to do, but everyone wants to be a part of it.
The infamous party promoters are showing out around this hour. Pubbing the fuck out of an event hoping that someone pays attention, but sadly, the only people retweeting them are members of their own street team. Decisions are made and now everyone knows every followers moves for the night because it’s all displayed on Twitter.
The sun goes down, and the Nighttime Nightmares unfold…
“Where’s the bottle?!”, “Who got the #Loud!!” fills timelines. Not only do tweets as such fill up everyone’s timeline, this is the time of the day when the Salty Subliminal Tweeters come out. These are the individuals who work 3rd shift, or simply were forgotten about throughout the day. “Aw I see how niggas is…”, “Damn! Nobody told me bout the club...shiesty…” or how about, “So you gone go out instead of sit on the phone with me…FUCK YOU weak ass nigga!” Some of these subliminal tweets are expressed through song lyrics as well lol. All the people who fall under this category have nothing better to do, so they subliminally tweet the night away. Unfortunately, there tweets go unnoticed because no one cares at this hour.
Drunken tweets, high tweets, relationship beef are now at an all time high. Twitter beef sparks and then everyone is entertained at how foolish you look arguing on twitter.
Finally, the night is beginning to end. Either you are (1) depressed and you go directly to sleep (2) too high or to drunk to do anything but tweet, or (3) you are on the prowl. Those on the prowl lead themselves into more subliminal tweets as such: “Wonder what he/she is doing right now…” or “Man, I hate sleeping alone…” and this forces them to join the freaky world of Twitter After Dark.
The night is over and this eventful day is honestly the same shit you will see tomorrow, the next day, and the following day. This is just the base structure for Twitter. Of course there are other variables i.e. the people that want to make every topic a trending topic or the fan crazed tweets, but all in all, this diverse place is quite similar and simple if you really think about it.
MORNING MOTIVATION, AFTERNOON STRUGGLES, EVENTFUL EVENINGS, NIGHTTIME NIGHTMARES & AFTER DARK FANTASIES…
Behold…The Wonderful World of Twitter.
