Will Tweet for Food
I finally hit the 1,000 follower mark on Twitter over the weekend and with just 31 days left of 2009, I’ve begun to contemplate my 2010 career paths, and must I say “development.” Simply, the comic strip says it all: I want to “Tweet for Food.”
Read More10 Things I’m Thankful For
Although, I’m non-traditional in my Thanksgiving feast and opt for wine and pizza over turkey and mashed potatoes, my food choices don’t translate to the heart of the day–giving thanks. So in the spirit of the day, I give thanks for: 1. Twitter - This simple tool has provided me with a world of new friends, which I enjoy hanging out with both online and in person. Together we share information, drink wine and rant about what ever bugs us. 2. College Basketball - The dreary days of February and March are much more bearable with the thrills of the ACC basketball and March Madness. 3. Airplanes – Despite all the crazy added fees, airplanes open me to the world of travel, for which I could never live without. 4. Clean Air- Having visited...
Read MoreThanksgiving Songs in Short Supply
Thanksgiving’s just five days away, but a local radio station and countless retailers have bypassed our forefathers in favor of 24 hour Christmas music. Now, I agree that the birth of Jesus should get more attention and yes, more songs, but let’s not totally shaft our forefathers. Don’t they deserve more than crowded airports, bloated stomachs and highway traffic jams? After all, they risked their lives in search for the freedoms we enjoy today.

What started as a typical “Amy” Monday of running errands while the rest of the world went back to work, quickly turned into an exercise of piecing my digital life back together. An hour into my daily Twitter gig, I get an annoying notice to restart my machine. Finally, after I’ve completed all my Twitter-job duties, I restart. To my horror, the 10 month Dell never comes back to life. It sits there with a black screen and no power pumping through the power cord. “You’re kidding, me right?” I’ve already had two motherboard replacements and I knew I had just killed the third. Yippee! I get to call friendly, Dell Technician somewhere in India. An hour later, I have a service number for a system replacement. Perfect—now how do I get all the crap...

If you know me, you know I don’t always have a filter, and that’s just for the stuff that hits the air waves. For the other stuff, it still lingers in my head–until now! My apologies if you find offense…it’s just what goes on in my head. 1.A Facebook profile photo should be about you, not your kids. 2. Going to work is just like high school, but with adults, acting like kids. 3. Amen to Botox! 4. You don’t look important when you immediately make a call on your cell phone once the plane has landed. You look needy! 5. Just because everyone else is the crossing the street doesn’t always mean it’s safe to cross. You’re only contributing to more bodies to pick up when cars speed around the corner and run you all over, which...
