Matthew Thiessen and the Twitlebrizombies.

Relient K is a best-selling Christian/Rock/Punk Pop/Alternative ensemble from Canton, OH.
But are they any more than that?
Recently I've been reflecting on the times I say something witty and seemingly response-worthy to "Celebrities" on Twitter,
and I can tell you that although their tweets seem human in nature and like there are people behind the expensive phone, *typing out the wit-filled, informative and supposedly sympathetic, social-status earning, one-hundred-forty-character(Or less) sentences* the recognition and the fancy clothing, there aren't ordinary or extraordinary people waiting to hear from you.

Celebrities on Twitter only talk to other celebrities on Twitter, so don't waste your time tweeting to them, they won't reply to it, or even see it.
Though Relient K's members don't seem to be the "Twitlebrizombie" type, (due to their repertoire of Christian tunes giving them a social stigma in today's "Class of citizen" that one mostly sees on TV as "Ordinary people who don't seem to believe in God") I have wasted my good time following and trying to connect with one who certainly acts like a "Twitlebrizombie":

Matthew Arnold Thiessen (Relient K, Matthew Thiessen and the Earthquakes), *born in St. Catherines, Ontario, Canada* has left my tweets unobliged, disregarded and continues to talk only to other "Twitlebrizombies" who ignore other doting fans.

Though I'm slightly skewered on a spit of sadness, I still regard Mr. Thiessen as one of the greatest of generational musicians.
I don't expect him to socialize outside of his social rank, having had associations with people such as Adam Young(Owl City), Family Force 5, and a combination of Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry and Glenn Ballard. Nor would he if he were in my position, I expect.

But one can't help but wonder "What would it be like?"
I can't help but imagine myself tweeting jokes back and forth with Mr. Thiessen, carrying conversation and creating sort of a friendship with him.

I can't deny that, as I was writing this, I thought up an image of Mr. Thiessen sitting at a computer, reading this aloud to his Relient K colleagues and having them all laugh humorously at me and at how pathetic I must seem.
And I can't deny that I would prefer that over being completely ignored by a once "Most-played" on my iTunes list.
But I guess being ignored is just the bane of our social status as normal citizens.
