aroyrichardson is theroyrichardson

I have been a Twitter user for a couple of years. It has taken a while for it to really jive with me. What really is all the fuss about saying things in 140 characters or less? Try having a conversation in that few characters and see if anything makes a lot of sense. Hemmingway wrote using lots of small words. He would probably think Twitter is the coolest thing. Then again, he didn't really like electric typewriters.

So I created a Twitter account to coincide with the Blog and as fate would have it, Twitter will not let me use my entire name. I can use theroyrichardso, but I hate that. Or I could do droyrichardson? So I decided to do aroyrichardson. I will post daily tidbits there if I am so inclined. Or so reclined... 

Why?

I decided to call my blog, Technology, Food, and Life... I decided to list myself as The Roy Richardson. I used to see the comedian A. Whitney Brown on Saturday Night Live. He used to say, "Hi, I am A. Whitney Brown. I hope to some day be 'The Whitney Brown'." I kind of feel that way. There are several Roy Richardson's out there. Some day I hope to be "The Roy Richardson".
