How Good Looking You Are
Did you know that you have no idea how good looking you are? Quite literally, none of you think that you’re as good looking as you really are. Wait a minute – I take that back. Some of you think that you’re better looking that you really are. But…

Your Facebook Self
I just read an article that basically says that Facebook blurs the line between our real self and our digital self. There is no blur. Your real self is you and your digital self is also you. The caveat might be that your digital self is not completely you, but…

If You’re Frustrated with Facebook…

A City Identity
The city that you live in will shape your identity. Live somewhere long enough and you start talking like them – dressing like them – eating like them – driving like them – and maybe if you stay long enough you might become one of them. I listened to 2…
