Find your Tweeps

Ok for the "Find Your Tweeps" assignment I chose to follow Mike Vick and Dwayen Johnson, Mike Vick is the starting quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles; he was a number one overall draft pick back in 2001 from Virginia Tech by the Atlanta Falcons, I picked Mike Vick because he shows that no matter what life throws at you, you can overcome it, or from the mistakes you have done in the past that if given a second chance you can seize the moment and prove everyone wrong, in his case he was sent to prison with dog fighting charges and spent a little over a year in prison, but came back to the NFL and in his second year back he was a starting QB won “Come Back Player of the Year” and took the Eagles to the playoffs, he is once again considered one of the top QB’s in the NFL. He was once on top of the NFL he fell off and again was able to bounce right back up even with all that was happening in his life, I guess I want to know more about him or I guess kind of be like him because I myself have had a bumpy road in life so someone like him can coach you or guide you in a way to make life the best when the going goes tough, you can see in his tweets he is working out getting better and giving back which is two things I look into.

Dwayen Johnson or as many people know him as “The Rock” from WWE or WWF if you watched him in the 90’s like I did, The Rock was my childhood hero I wanted to be just like him I saw a tall strong tan man and it made me feel like I could be him (of course at the time I didn’t know wrestling was fake) it made me feel like when I grow up can I be just like him? And now when I see him he is an actor doing many films and of course making the money! I still want to be just like him, he is rich, on the media, people look up to him, I want that and I follow him because he is like Mike Vick he gives back and works out to get better, faster and stronger, I would ask him how life was growing up being a tan kid and how hard did he work to become the successful person that he is today because I one day want to be as big as he is physically and media wise.

So I guess I chose Mike Vick and The Rock because they are both of color and grew up a rough life and now are living a dream of money and fame, Mike Vick playing in the NFL and The Rock a former WWE star and now actor, so I would think they have the credentials to show me a thing or two which is why I follow them on Twitter.
