These are two facts about my creative process I am sharing with the world in a hope to break their old lady vice grip on my brain:
If I have to come up with a subject to write about, the first sentence that runs through my mind is “I like cheese”. Every time.

Just a brief excerpt:
I have formed more and more relationships with people on Twitter, and some of those relationships are showing clear signs of strengthening. Why shouldn’t they? In some ways Twitter acts as a gradually established eHarmony of friendships. We begin to learn more and more about one another, and naturally gravitate toward people with whom we share a connection for whatever...
I am strong. I am brave. I have willpower.
I WILL NOT REBLOG EVERY PROUD NATURE CARTOON.
Oh god, it’s hard.
Once I started cockpunching myself, I realized it was time to stop adding my Twitter posts to my Tumblr feed. (I’m coming back in my next life as a veal calf just for writing that sentence alone.)

Much ado about nothing, Shorty.

My Twitter friends:
Why are the Shorty Awards so polarizing, so divisive? What difference does it make if someone wants, gets, or votes for a Shorty Award? The things are completely inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. One of the things I love most about the friends I’ve made on Twitter has been the amicability and yes - charitable love - of our exchanges and community....

Two men were married in the chapel at Nova Scotia’s Greenwood airbase in May, in what’s being called the Canadian military’s first gay wedding.
Lt.-Cmdr. David Greenwood, the base’s head chaplain, said a sergeant and a warrant officer were married May 3 in front of about 45 guests.
