Being mean to a total stranger online is not acceptable. There are a lot of people who are highly sensitive and wouldn’t harm anyone themselves. So many people are ridiculed for appearance and other attributes that it isn’t fair. Why do people have to do mean things? I don’t know but they need to get right and learn how to treat others with kindness and respect. People have some sort of license online to be mean because of the cloak of anonymity it affords. It hurts even more when it’s people have no reasons to say the things they say. Words wound, they go deep. Life is too short not to love one another.

Something About Blogging Platforms
A fellow blogger is making the move to WordPress from Google’s Blogger service. The blogger said that lots of people are doing that and that there seemed to be some issues with the function of the platform. In looking at Blogger’s twitter account I discovered that there hasn’t been a new post since May whereas WordPress posted an article on October 21. That isn’t good or is it?
I think what goes on behind the scenes is important when choosing a blogging platform. New features are important as long as they enhance functionality and improve workflow. Sensible changes can improve your experience and when the platform works the way it should you can focus on creating and connecting vs. always doing maintenance.
Something About Sleep
Sure, I enjoy a full nights rest like the next dork but some nights it just doesn’t happen. My bladder is as old as me and when you have to get up to go to the bathroom/loo it can interrupt your sleep cycle and in some cases you never get back to sleep. There is too much life happening and that can make your brain click on and that is never a good thing when you wanna get some good shut eye. Sleep is vital to ones health and well being so when you don’t get enough of it then there is room for concern there. One thing I don’t like is how lack of sleep effects me late in the day. Falling asleep at work isn’t always a good thing according to most bosses.
Life is something to do when you can’t get to sleep. Fran Lebowitz
I suppose I have too much living to do or something like that.
Something About Choice
There’s too much damn choice in the world. I mean that when shopping for something I have a hard time making up my mind. Going out to dinner is awful because I can’t decide what I want most times. Everything from grocery stores, shopping malls and worse online shopping is frustrating. I am horrible at decision making. Just plain bad.
Something About A New Look #wordpress
There’s something about freshening up the old blog to give it more functionality and to make it look more like a website. I chose the Motif theme to show off my posts in a larger format and to give the site a throwback feel. I hope you enjoy it.
Something About Life, Liberty, Happiness
“Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” is a well-known phrase in the United States Declaration of Independence. This is also something that I feel should be extended to every human being around the world.
No matter who we are or where we come from everyone should have the right to a life of their choosing, the liberty to work for it and the freedom to pursue Happiness. One thing I would say is that no human being should prevent another from being able to be who they want as long as its legal, ethical and does not impact others in a negative way. So that means you can’t go streaking naked through a movie theatre yelling fire, fire!
No matter who you are, you should be able to dream big, achieve big and to do good things that can make a difference for your friends and neighbors. America is great when life, liberty and happiness are accessible to everyone no matter creed, orientation, race or ethnicity. It’s my hope no matter where you live in the world you have the opportunities to be who you choose to be in the place where you are now.
Be happy and make the world a better place by being yourself and living well.
