  • Social Networking

    I'm trying to find my way in life and social networking sites have helped a lot.  But I'm seriously considering slimming down my collection.  It's just too much.
    This is what I have:
    twitter
    facebook
    xanga
    pomoworld
    multiply
    okcupid
    friendster
    meetup
    netflix friends
    ravelry
    digiromp
    calorie count
    and MSN/Yahoo groups.

    Seriously, make it stop.

  • A letter...

    Dear Delilah,

    I don't really know how to tell you this, but our socks don't match. I think I realized it last year when you peed your pants in your apartment and I saw you pull the clothes off the elephant in the corner. I'm sure you're shamed enough to understand how the middle-east is planning their revenge on you. I'm returning your love letters to me to you, but I'll keep your collection of butterflies as a memory. You should also know that I will tell the authorities that you did not steal that whale in the back yard and you should stop picking your nose.

    Go milk a cow,
    Rachie

  • This from Brad.

    He doesn't know, but I'm cross-posting this for him.

    Seven Books:

    Listed below are seven books that, in my opinion, every American with an opinion should read and discuss with fellow Americans.

    1) Habits of the Heart: Individualism and Commitment in American Life, by Robert N. Bellah, et al.

    2) The Unsettling of America: Culture & Agriculture, by Wendell Berry

    3) The Financier, by Theodore Dreiser

    4) Notes of a Native Son, by James Baldwin

    5) Consumed: How Markets Corrupt Children, Infantilize Adults, and Swallow Citizens Whole, by Benjamin R. Barber

    6) Real American Ethics: Taking Responsibility for Our Country, by Albert Borgmann

    7) Land of Desire: Merchants, Power, and the Rise of a New American Culture, by William Leach

    A Thought:

    Observing all the clamor from the conservatives castigating Obama and depicting him as a socialist and defacer of the Constitution, I began to get frustrated until I had this thought: We progressives were similarly disparaging during the past eight years.

    As an adult, I have only experienced two presidents. Now I see that a change of administrations also means a change in who is grumbling about the collapse of the nation. If citizens from opposing ideological perspectives are ever to engage in any productive dialogue, we all need to temper our complaints and accusations. Grumbling has little positive effect. We all need to better articulate our opinions, especially when our opinions are not aligned with that of the current presidential administration. I'm sorry I didn't realize that when Bush was in office and I was the one grumbling.
