I got listed on someones Influential Blogger’s list on Twitter and that made me think am I that influential? This is just a simple blog of a fairly dorky person who rambles on about stuff happening in his life. There is really nothing awe inspiring about the posts you see here. Tony is a simple person with ideas in his head that sometimes make sense. Just saying.

Things Aren’t All That Bad
I find it interesting that people say certain things are destroying our country when in reality the things they defend do much greater harm. The people who complain a lot are the ones who see others getting the rights and privileges they have exclusively enjoyed. People feast on fear of things that are different and we all know what fear can do to a person. Yes things aren’t the way they used to be and change is a fact of reality.
We pick the wrong fights about things that really don’t matter in the grand scheme of things. I am not big on doomsday but prefer to have hope for a brighter tomorrow. Fear not is a common theme throughout scripture and maybe we should just chill out. Maybe we should work to be better and not bitter when we don’t get our way. My friends everyday is a new opportunity to make things better for everyone, not just a select few. The freedoms you have are the same freedoms people are struggling for elsewhere. Yes there are people who seek to do us harm but the best way to counter that threat is to live our lives and to share love, not hate.
Things aren’t all that bad. Don’t worry, be happy as Bobby McFerrin once said.

When you use a hashtag from a national brand you just might get Tweeted back to in a positive way. The power of a hashtag can get you noticed, improve your audience and help you make connections. Today I did a Instagram of my lunch and used the hashtag #velveeta and lo and behold Velveeta responded to my post. Another blogger suzie81speaks talked about How to use Twitter Hashtags in her blog today. It’s worth the read.
