I’ve been twittering since August 2007.
Until a few minutes ago, I had updated 9,999 times.
I did not want to tweet number 10,000 because I honestly felt like I already talk to much.
So I took a few days to find somebody to tweet for me.
Meet Frank.
Frank was sitting outside my local Starbucks and said hi as I walked in.
So I walked outside, made a friend, and asked him if he could tell 8000 people one thing, what would he say…
Frank is 67.
Frank is a professional arborist.
He got laid off from his job in Valdosta, GA as the city arborist in February.
He has taken care and planted hundreds of thousands of trees.
Frank wanted me to tell you to…
“Be kind to yourself and kind to your mother, as in mother nature.”
Thanks Frank for your advice and for helping take care of mother nature.
I’ll do my best as well.
and sure, I’d love to take your picture.

I don't really know her.
They're going to use my blog about the Great Date Exp for the BC website.
I have no idea why or how they found it.
Good stuff though.
So close to seeing your wifey out here last week.
We're moving back to ATL in Dec.
I'm trying to get excited about it…

" It will do us little good to wire the world if we short-circuit our souls. There is no delete button for racism, poverty, or secretarian violence. No keystroke can ever clean the air, save a river, preserve a forest. This transformational new technology must be an extension of our hearts as well as of our minds. The old rules still apply. Love your mother – Mother Earth. The Way I See It #130"
This quote is on the side of my starbucks cup that I'm drinking out of while I watched that video.

Hi Fellow Ragamuffins!
In the spirit of new friends I was wondering if you could help me out? I'm a former youth pastor I live in Australia and i'm keen to find out all i can about the online/network/campus church set up that i hear about so much from the US. Its such a new concept here in Australia and I'd really appreciate if you could take a few minutes to answer 4 easy questions i've posted on my blog here http://tiny.cc/hSm5h
Any info you could give me would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Ed

First off I love that frank actually knew what twitter was, also I love that he was telling his friend about it and was truly excited to be able to take part in your 10,000 post.
Seems like a cool dude.

that is the best! i video people all the time asking them questions. the question usually being, "If you had one that you would want to tell the world that you learned in your life, what would that be?"
this reminds me of all my times just going up to strangers and interviewing them. this is awesome.
wish i could talk to this dude, my favorite part of creation is trees.
