Letters From Zion

In an effort to maintain self-censorship, I'm not going to bitch about my entire weekend. When too many adults are together in confined settings, certain tribal and territorial instincts kick in. That's a diplomatic way of saying some people get along in a very heated way, which actually isn't "getting along" to an uninitated observer. Families fight. As do packs, prides, pods, mobs, and murders. I do love that. Anybody else know that a group of crows is called a "murder"? My friend dream hampton called herself a "word nerd". If there is such a thing, I am one. (I should tell the story of the Locked Bathroom Door and the Green Apple Splatters, but it lacks a comedic finish and mostly is a story of frustration.) I briefly touched on my outrage at Twitter's outage , I'm sure we all were caught by surprise with it. It has shown me that while some are jaded with it, I love it even more. It is truly a weapon/tool. There is much talk about t

Wow. The World without Twitter. I only wish I was blissfully ignorant as those that don't use it. I miss the HELL out of it. But it's let me know that no matter what happens with MySpace, I'll NEVER go full-fledged to FaceBook. Why? Well, the generosity I feel and the connections I make on Twitter are far more useful and fulfilling. Twitter "feels" real. Yeah, Mark Zuckerberg, your nifty little site has made it as a flavor of the month, but you've made one fatal error: You assume that we actually LIKE our family members and people from high school... what if we don't? The irony of this post is that it will feed directly to Facebook, where it will sit unread. If I post it to MySpace, I would have 20 comments on it in no time. The people you're related to tend to know the least about you... when people get killed, they don't ask family members who was in their life: they ask FRIENDS. But then me and mine do put the "fun" in "dysfuncti

(Pictured: "Show Me", the Orange Bomber eliminated from RCOL2) My bad, my bad, my bad. I must confess something, True Believers. Before I wash myself of sin, let me tell you that I am attempting to refine my oft-randomness. I have created another blog, I am calling it Reality Bytes . While not everyone enjoys my musings and rants at VH1 (the channel that airs most of my favorites reality shows), there is a group that does. So I'm going to siphon off all my Reality TV related bloggings there, and keep this one more about my musical and personal journeys. This advice comes from @ problogger on Twitter. If you're on Twitter and a blogger, this guy is an excellent resource. I'm going to see if I like running multiple blogs on specific subjects instead of one blog on every subject. So this blog is my last reality-tv-related blog here. The other day on UStream I got a chance to ask @riskybizness23 if she thought I should watch the new "Real Chance Of Love 2: Back
