Please, Please, Please Unblock Me From Your Twitter!

I wish my outlook on my day and myself didn't hinge on the approval of another, but right now, it does.

So I listen to The Stephanie Miller Show in the mornings.  She had a executive producer who was with her for over a decade, Chris Lavoie.  I always considered him to be the leveling agent to the rambunctious but at-times wild and unfocused Miller.  In fact, there are some -- OK, many -- times that her mumbling becomes too much and her over-reliance on reading stories verbatim shows that she is unprepared and really doesn't know what she is talking about.  That was when Lavoie would save her by injected his own cogent, elegant thoughts.  Oftentimes he was the one who pumped politics into the show.  Sometimes, he was the best part of it.

And that motherfucker blocked me on Twitter!  OK, I'm getting ahead of myself.  A couple years ago he left TSMS because, partly, he got burned out by the polarizing politics that was the focus of his job.  It is around this time I am sure I tweeted him -- about what, I don't remember.  But some time when he started his brand-new job, working PR for a casino, I tried seeing his feed, and it said that he blocked me.

For what?  I don't remember what I tweeted to him.  I probably forgot as soon as I sent it.  But I am virtually certain that it wasn't enough for me to get blocked over -- I think.  Again, I don't know.  You'd have to ask him.

Well, he was on the show last week, and it was like old times: crisp, informative, and the time flew by.  At the end of the show, Miller promoted Lavoie's Twitter feed, and then I was reminded that I couldn't follow him if I wanted to.

Frankly, I'm hurt.  I really am sorry if I offended him.  But I really don't know if I offended him and, if so, how, because I can't ask him because he blocked me.  Then again, I certainly am not going to pine over him rejecting me.  I mean, it's not like it's the end of the world.  I'm not going to turn Republican over it, that would be ridiculous and knee-jerk.  I really don't think what I could have said could be so bad as to be blocked, so if anything, this is on him for being a snowflake.

You know, come to think of it, this was a dick move by him.  He may be a dick in real life.  Wouldn't be the first time someone I admired from afar was rude or assholish up close.  So, yeah, fuck him.  Unless he unblocks me from his Twitter, in which case, I would be so over the moon!!!
