I’m not sure of the exact time Gilbert Arenas’ Twitter account, @gilbertarenas, was removed from the Internet (sometime during the evening of January 7th, probably about the time Garrett Gilbert-Javier Arenas zingers were getting started Twitter), but I am sure it existed. I’m also sure that nothing can ever be completely removed from the web … such as a handy little RSS feed I had of Arenas’ tweets.

Over seven days Arenas shared 155 Tweets with the world (I don’t count the ‘non-Tweet’ videos he posted before he really got going on New Year’s Eve). He had some good ones, he had some interesting ones, he had some ‘I’m a silly little kid’ ones. I didn’t mind Arenas being on Twitter so much — it got blown out of proportion — but I doubt I would have done the same had I been in his position … or at least I would have been more apologetic/sensible (I’d like to think).

Then reader Sean Snider sent me a lesson for Gilbert that made perfect sense:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy. A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Moral of the story:

1. Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
2. Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend
3. And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!

So there you go. That being said, below are the 155 Tweets of Gilbert Arenas … or just some of the pieces of shit he hurled into a fan facing him and controlled by David Stern. Some of the best are highlighted.

gilbertarenas: the girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind.the sught of his closed eyelids shocked her.she hadnt expected that.the thought

gilbertarenas: of looking at then the rst of her life led her to fefuse to marry him.Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying

gilbertarenas: Take good care of yours eyes,my dear,Befor they were yours,they were mine.’

gilbertarenas: this is how the human brain often works when our status CHANGE.only a very few remember what life was like before,and who was always by

gilbertarenas: there side in the most painful situations.life is a gift TODAY before you say an unkind word-think of someone who cant speak.
