    Brilliance in 140 Characters or Less

    There are people who can make a positive impact with just a handful of words. These little snippets of quickness, grace, simplicity, humor, and incommensurable wit that we know as “Tweets”.

    I give you @McGeekiest, who happens to be my totally skilled and incredibly wonderful fiancé, Joshua McGee.

    Here are some of my favorite tweets by @McGeekiest:

  • One of the greatest gifts…

    One of the greatest gifts…


    ❝One of the greatest gifts science has brought to the world is continuing elimination of the supernatural, and it was a lesson that my father passed on to me, that knowledge liberates mankind from superstition. We can live our lives without the constant fear that we have offended this or that deity who must be placated by incantation or sacrifice, or that we are at the mercy of devils or the Fates. With increasing knowledge, the intellectual darkness that surrounds us is illuminated and we learn more of the beauty and wonder of the natural world.❞

  • I broke my brother’s arm…

    ❝I broke my brother’s arm while pretending to be Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.  We couldn’t tell my parents we were playing Mortal Kombat because they would think video games were a bad influence, and they’d take them away.  So we told them we were acting out a scene from The Bible, hoping they’d take that away.❞
