Who needs a therapist when you have Twitter? John Mayer is dropping cheesy hints about his breakup from Jennifer Aniston using his Tweets for sympathy. Or just to share the excruciating minutiae of his life with as many people as possible. I’m not going to lie – this breakup is certainly hard for Mayer. How is he going to get publicity after this? What paparazzi is going to bother following him around – aside from TMZ? He’s got to do something to make sure people are still paying attention, and what better way to constantly share insignificant information than Twitter?

Thus, John is blogging about his broken heart. Or rather, his complicated heart.

Is John Mayer still trying to cope with his reported breakup with Jennifer Aniston? The sensitive rock star took to his Twitter page on Monday, giving fans a brief glimpse into his emotional state.

John first asked his Twitter followers to share their “six word story” on the mirco-blogging Web site, writing, “Ernest Hemingway once claimed he could write a great story in six words or less… I’m certainly not the first person to pass the plate around on this, but Twitter seems like an excellent place to try it.”

And when it came time to reveal his own short story, the musician focused on a matter of the heart.

“My six word story: ‘This heart didn’t come with instructions.’” he wrote.

Oh what depth John Mayer! Hemingway? Way to pull out the big guns. I love how John is always trying to convince us that his heart is deeply involved with all his women. I guess we can’t know for sure, but somehow I have a hard time buying it. A few of John’s other recent Twitters? “What I already have, but forever. Thanks for the chance. G’night all” and “My YouTube recommendations would have me believe I only like watching street fights and combustible flatulence” Somehow I feel like that last one says more about what’s really on John’s mind lately.
