Random follow #269 - @K_Razamataz

Want some spice in your timeline?  Are you looking for someone who isn't afraid and be irreverent?  How about a good wind up every now and then to keep you on your toes?  If those are the key qualities that you are looking for in a tweeter then I have discovered just the person for you - @K_Razamataz.

Master K-Raz is not one for holding back.  And when I say holding back I mean his opinion.  And with those opinions comes some choice language every now and then but hey - we're adults and twitter is an adult platform.  If a wee bit of foul language is not for you then go elsewhere.

If sarcasm, wit and scathing yet intellectual insights and opinions are more your cup of tea then you are going to LOVE this account.  K-Raz will challenge your thinking while at the very same time tickling your funny bone as well.  Here is a quick selection of tweets to wet your appetite (or not) -

"Can't remember what DARE stands for. Apart from Drugs Are Really Excellent. I can't remember anything but Drugs Are Really Excellent."  <-- its sarcasm people! Laugh!

"I like twitter. It's like talking to yourself with an open invitation for anyone to join in."  <-- pretty much.

"On the phone, realise that I'm randomly waving my hands at things that I've got open on the computer screen in front of me. Why? Not sure."  <--   ???

Like I said earlier  @K_Razamataz isn't afraid to fire off tweets that will keep you on your toes.  Make sure your brain (and sense of humour) are plugged in and you'll really enjoy this account.  Don't take him too seriously.  He doesn't and everything is going along just fine.

One word of warning - don't underestimate his abilities with a tweet.  The pen truly is mightier than the sword and this tweeter can do the same with a keyboard.  What really drives him is passion.  A passion for people, for fairness and the right for everyone to live a good life.  Yes there are tweets that are political and that will challenge you.  But it is that method and use of language that K-Raz has/is developing.

At this point in time the world of social media has yet to discover what a brilliant mind this young man has.  If you were to follow today then in a few years time, after his tweets have all gone viral, you too can say - I followed him before he became famous.  Go on.

Random follow #45 - #thedp, @tdpfirst, @tdpsecond

You can imagine my surprise when about a month ago I was suddenly followed by two ladies with mustaches.  Real ladies but not with real mustaches.  My head spun for a couple of minutes as I tried to make sense of just what the heck was going on!  Anyway it turns out that two very smart, sassy and creative tweeters among us had devised a plan to take over the whole world - one tweet at a time!

But seriously what these two ladies came up with is a fantastic idea that is part of the Auckland Fringe Festival.  Proudly known by their twitter names @tdpfirst and @tdpsecond these two ladies have set out on a mission to perform classic pieces of movie dialogue while adding their own spin to it.

The project is less about using twitter as an art form but rather as a vehicle to expand the audience partcking of their creative talents.  Although I did notice that @tdpfirst and @tdpsecond were having an arty conversation on the weekend during which they conversed about love lost, love found and the many different virtues of romance.

If you are looking for a twitter account or two to follow they will inject some hilarity into your day - then I 100% recommend following either of these two ladies or set up a search for the #thedp.  And if those two characters don't tweet enough for you then you can follow the real people behind the characters - @josiecampbell and @annagconnell.

And if you are really sharp you will soon discover a few other arty, super talented and very, very funny tweeters such as @corinh.  But he deserves his own blog post on here.

You can keep up to date with the daily videos of dialogue which are being posted very day of the Fringe Fest which runs from February 15th right through to March 10th.  You can view the videos in their original form and format here.  Or you can watch the side splittingly funny first video here -

Randon follow #44 - @TophHooperton

Over the last few weeks while working on this project I have been genuinely surprised to find out how many tweeters in New Zealand are either -

a) English living in New Zealand or
b) Kiwi's living in England
c) Kiwi's who have lived in England and have returned home

I really enjoy English people and the wittiness that they bring with them.  If you were to bottle all that wit and turn it into tweets then you would come up with an end result of @TophHooperton.

"Social Media is so difficult you won't understand it until you see a PowerPoint explanation."

There are many tweeters who work for the media in one way or another and @TophHooperton is one of those people.  But the difference with this chap is that he doesn't tweet as a 'company man'.  In fact he is able to not take it all too seriously and he is able to have a joke about some of the viewing TVNZ has on.

"You know how fancy foodies do that smear of sauce on plates that looks like the inside of a nappy? Why? #MasterChefNZ (+1)"

And he will also share his thoughts about other tv with you as well (don't we all tweet about tv programs?) -

"Just when you think #Girls is as good as it gets, it gets even better. Holy crap. My squishy heart."

And I also managed to pick up on the fact that he is single.  Some times this fact can really irk parents.  And in @TophHooperton's case this is true also -

"My mum's fulsome list of reasons why I'm single is still amusing me. It ends with 'I don't think you'll meet someone til quite late in life'"


In summary - Christopher (only his mum use's his whole name probably) is a very likable chap who creates amusing tweets and uses his English wit to humor the world.  One tweet at a time.
