The internet is broken a.k.a. Gregory is having an existential crisis.


My friends, the image above is unequivocal proof that the end of days is upon us. As many of you know, I am "tehMick." In fact, I'm pretty sure that many of you still believe my name to be "Mick." The point is I've been "tehMick" before the word "teh" even came into existence. Imagine my surprise when I try to register "tehMick" on twitter and they tell me "that username is already taken." I figured there must be some sort of mistake. I typed it in again and there it was, the same message, in that familiar hue of red. So I go to this "tehMick's" twitter page and his one and only tweet is about eating too much at a family BBQ or something. This is back in '07 and it sounds like something I would definitely tweet about. I assumed the only logical explanation for all of this is that I had regsitered on twitter back in the day and had completely forgotten about it. I tried submitting every e-mail I've had in the past five years in the hopes I had simply forgotten my password, but to no avail. Reality has finally set in. The fact of the matter is, there is another" tehMick" out there. This "tehMick" enjoys having BBQ's with his family and God knows what else. I don't know who I am anymore.
