Recently a few on line friends have suggested that I create a tumblr account. I was resistant at first but last night decided to give it a try. It seems to be nothing more than a beefed up twitter with more bells and whistles, however, it lacks convenience of having select follower's updates sent to my blackberry.

The movie portrayed him as being an obnoxious, power hungry, pathetic little man who wrapped his self serving ambition tightly ( Read more... )

Please stop calling me. Look, I know we've shared some LOLs in the past but I'm still not over you handing the last election to Obama. I mean Palin? What vetting process let that one slip through? And while we're on the subject I'm still not overly thrilled at you allowing Bush, a Democrat in Republican clothing, to damage our relationship. And no ( Read more... )
