Donovan Woods is a Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with a big voice and a bigger personality.
He was born and raised in Sarnia, Ontario—the perfect small town to let creativity brew and manifest in both songwriting and tweet-drafting. So far, he's put out four albums, been nominated and awarded for his songwriting, and his tracks have been featured in films, television shows, and even Grey Cup commercials. His songs have also been recorded by artists like Tim McGraw and Lady Antebellum singer Charles Kelly.
His next album, 'Both Ways,' is set to be released on April 20. But until then, here are his 20 funniest tweets from just this year alone.

The universe isn’t trying to tell you anything because it’s just, like, rocks and gasses and shit, so if it feels like the universe is telling you to do something, probably you just kinda want to do it.
