Random follow #127 - @ShannonandDrift

Two tweeters from the Bay of Plenty in two days.  People we are on a roll.  Todays tweeter is another fantastic person who hails from THE REAL BAY.  @ShannonandDrift claims to be a professional sports person who tweets for a hobby.  Sounds like a pretty good lifestyle to me!  And he makes damn sure that while the rest of us head off to the office to peck away at our keyboards under fluro lights, he is outside enjoying the New Zealand outdoors for all that they are worth -

"Awesome day for a spot of white water kayaking. Hate my job. Really I do."

I don't know a whole lot about Shannon but I can say he is a bloody good guy and top bloke.  Being a surfing type guy certainly helps in that it creates a relaxing lifestyle that ensures you to mellow and leave all your issues out in the waves.

And you can also count on the fact that he enjoys a really good laugh.  Don't we all?  Here is an example of that -

"IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY, come sit by me and we can make fun of people together"

Shannon is one of the people who make twitter a success.  He engages with lots of cool tweeters and takes the time to listen to other peoples opinions.  It appears that for a while now he has been a bit of a lonely bloke.  But don't worry twitter!  Help is at hand - 

"3 more sleeps till my girl leaves London and heads home #maketimefly #blueballs"

And his girlfriend either doesn't know he is on twitter or has a long suffering sense of humor when he fires off wisecracks like these - 

"Google has to be a woman... It starts suggesting things before you can even finish your sentence"

@ShannonandDrift is not one to hold back his opinion.  Not in a nasrt, trolling kind of way.  But he uses social media as the platform for which was designed - a place to have a rant, get your issue off your chest and then let others come back to you with what they think about what you've said.  All is fair in love and war really.

And as I try to do so often, the last word goes to the man himself - 

"Shorts and tee shirt in the middle of May? Mother Nature's loving us"
