50,000th Tweet

twitter-bird-light-bgs

If I have scheduled and calculated everything properly, this will be my 50,000th Tweet since joining Twitter on January 29th, 2007, or 2301 days. If I would’ve looked at the number of days yesterday, I would’ve made sure I hit 50,000 tweets yesterday. Alas, life This comes out to an average of about 22 tweets per day. A great many things have happened in my life since that time. Too many to go through in just this one post. However, if you’re really interested let me know I’ll go through them with you on a one-on-one basis. I’ve made quite a few friends during that time. Coincidentally, none that I have actually met in person. I hope to change that fact.

To celebrate my 50,000th Tweet, I’ll be giving away one copy of each of my e-books (including the soon to be released Xbox e-book) to one lucky individual.

In order to win you must have a valid email address (yes, weird requirement I know), be able to download books from iTunes AND have the best reply to the Tweet (as determined by me). The contest will run for one week from this posting, or May 25th, and 12:00 Central Time.
