Tweet, tweet, here come the cliches

Darling twits, it has been a thousand years since I’ve posted on this blogging website. And I haven’t aged a bit!

Now, you are all here on this website because I have a link on my www.twitter.com/imjaviermoreno twitter page. I noticed that many lovely twits have recurring www.twitter.com usernames, with the likes of adding an “ahoy” or “captain” or “Mr.” for the gents and “wine” for the ladies.

I am intrigued and astonished by the creativity of adding the same phrases over and over again that I thought of doing something even more creative. Think of it as putting peanut butter with chocolate. (Note to self: write it down before someone recycles your new idea!).

Without further ado, here they are:

- @Ahoymatie or @Ahoymatey or @Ahoyyellowtoothedmate,youshouldgoseeadentist

- @CaptainAhab or @CaptainAhab,pleasecallmeIshmael,notstupidlittletwat or @CaptainJackHummingbird

- @Ahoycaptain,yourusernameisnotoriginal

Goodbye and please don’t use these usernames otherwise you’ll suck the creative juices dry.

life: Happy Birthday, Bette Davis. By the time LIFE magazine put Bette Davis on its cover in January 1939, the 30-year old actress had already appeared, as a star and in supporting roles, in more than two dozen films and had won two Oscars (for 1935′s Dangerous and 1938′s Jezebel). What many fans and most critics (even those who dislike her) consider Davis’ signature work — in movies like Dark Victory, The Little Foxes and Now, Voyager — was still ahead of her, but there was no question that the Massachusetts native was one of the most electrifying movie actors of any era.
