Blogging = Safe for Questions
Inherent with blogging is asking questions. Typically, the questions are unanswerable. It’s a place to process and think through things. We write about whatever is bothering us.

Freeganism
Ever heard of it? Here’s the Google Search for it. Basically, they are scavengers or dumpster divers. They don’t buy anything. They live off of our trash. It’s an amazing identity. But before you think that pulling food out of the dumpster is gross, would you consider that someone deemed…

How I Read a Facebook Profile
Have you ever thought about how you read a Facebook profile. I’ve never thought about it, but I am going to try and describe what I do when I read one. I think the first thing that I look for are the Identity cues in the profile. Of course there…

The Value of an Apostrophe
I was typing out a tweet this morning on the good ole iphone. I realize that when I tweet, I throw out all of the rules. I only have 140 characters for each tweet so I throw out some rules – only one space instead of a double space after…

My Third World Identity
As I sat down to eat my eel bowl that I wasn’t able to eat last night (long story), people were giving me a hard time about – 1. eating eel for breakfast; 2. eating eel that sat out last night; 3. and eating eel in the morning. I blurted…

Lyrics and Identity
Until this stuff happens to you, it’s kinda hard to grasp, but I recently heard an acoustic version of a song that I listened to hundreds of times in one sitting. Listening to the song 20 years later, the lyrics mean something completely different at this point of my life,…
