I Unplugged the Television For A Month. Here’s What Happened.
We humans make choices every day. Sometimes collectively, but mostly individually. We are creatures of habit and prefer sticking to our routines like flies on poo.

First Person Tweets vs. Third Person Stories

Stories From My Past | Why I Write, Part 1
A few days ago an old classmate from middle school and I reconnected over Facebook. The irony of this is I didn’t even have a Facebook page for over a year and a half.
