Random follow #185 - @Greeniecg

When the first words you read in a twitter bio are NZ Warriors fan - I know I am going to follow that person FOR LIFE!  @Greeniecg is proud of his team and will stand behind them through think and thin.  Guaranteed.  And when you add in his two other joys in life - education and media one could easily think he was my brother from another mother.

So whats to like about this random tweeter?  - well Greenie is an original thinker and will willingly share his opinion with you without a doubt.  And without a doubt outside of the @nzwarriors official account I don't think I have ever seen anyone tweet quite so much about footy.  Actually I have seen a few people tweet a lot about footy but not with the same passion or fervour for one team like Greenie does.

With every play of the game Greenie is right there getting amongst it.  Every kick, tackle, bad call or point scored - he tweets about it.  If you're not into sport then you probably won't understand the passion or fire that getting behind and barracking for one team requires.

Here are a few tweets from your typical footy game -

"Leuluai's looking good so far! #nrlwstwar"
"Best kick of the warriors from danger #nrlwstwar"
"Mannering you tinny bastard! #letsgonewarriors #warriornation"

So yeah - you get the gist right?  But ts not all fun and games with Greenie though - "Won't be trying the L+P chocolate, hate white chocolate. Don't like the taste #killjoy #BuzzKillington #buzzkill"

He's not above correcting you if your grammar is incorrect - "C'mon people, it's not TEXTSES it's TEXTS. Like text with an 's' on the end. I know it's hard to say but come on! #englishteacher"

And he is a guy enjoys getting outside - "Sore ankles aren't fun when you have to run in 9 hours time. #moan #whinge"

Greenie isn't a man of too many words.  There are very few tweets that ever hit the maximum character limit.  He prefers to keep his tweets short and like a good game of footy - straight up the guts.  He sparingly Rts other peoples tweets which is a bit refreshing.  Sharing his opinion of the world isn't an issue because his intelligence drives him to non-conformity.  He doesn't have a bad word to say about anyone and he plays a straight bat every time.  I will let the man himself have the last word of this post.  Take it away Greenie -

"@NZWarriors giant on field banners. That's what we need more of st mt smart #letsgonewarriors #truewarriors #warriornation"

Random follow #123 - @Styla73


Some people tweet a lot, some people don’t, and at almost 85,000 tweets tonight’s Random Kiwi tweeter is definitely someone who tweets a lot. But this is in no way a bad thing, quite the opposite. Prolific tweeters can brighten your timeline at any time of the day and make you smile,  tweet something that gets you thinking or say something that makes you just want to give them a big hug, and this is exactly what @Styla73 does to my Timeline.

Kylie’s timeline is filled with passion, and that passion is what I love about following her. Wikipedia tells us Passion is an intense emotion, compelling feeling, enthusiasm, or desire for something. This definitely shows in Kylie’s tweets. Take this one for example:

"JOY AND HAPPINESS AND MANDY F*&^$@G PATINKIN IS MY FAVOURITE YOU GUYS S%@T"

And even when Kylie may not be having the best day, her passion still shows through, like in this tweet:
"I have a migraine so couldn't watch the stream but am opening one eye to say YAY MINNESOTA! #equalitynow #cryingbachmanns #somuchjoy"



Her tweets are also quick snapshots of her life, sometimes happy, sometimes not, but they always tell a story, like this:

"I ate vogels coz I love vogels but I shouldn't have because now I am in all the pain because I shouldn't eat vogels. #vogels"

Or this tweet which I love because it is Kylie being honest about her tweets and telling it like it is.

"(Apologies for depressing tweets. Sometimes twittering is just a black hole to shout into.)"

Scrolling through her Timeline has brought me many smiles, laughs and a couple of tears, but it is her honestly and her passion which makes @Styla73 an interesting person to follow. I have yet to have had the pleasure of meeting Kylie in real life, (she lives in Wellington, I live in Auckland) but I hope I get that pleasure one day so I can see her passion for myself, and give her a big hug! Go on, hit that follow button, and fill your timeline with the passion that is @Styla73!
