False Threats

Every day someone in my news feed threatens to delete their Facebook account. Every. Single. Day. The excuses given range from too much drama to too many changes, and most recently because of the spam attack causing offensive images to show up in people’s news feeds.

Normally I don’t pay attention to the daily complaints that show up in my feed - time is too precious to me to waste on pointless negativity. For some reason, however, these threats I’ve been seeing really bug me. Why? Because it’s a lie - these people are posting false threats and it’s annoying.

I Don’t Care How She Does It - Olivia Munn

I was diligently reading the new Cosmo yesterday, and came across this article written by actress/comedian Olivia Munn. I’m absolutely smitten with this woman’s outlook on life and felt obliged to share some of her tips. I hope people find this as thoroughly enlightening and entertaining as I did.

P.O. Box 20706 Atlanta, Georgia 30320-6001

Dear Mr. Anderson:

Your company needs to get it together; and I don’t mean straighten your shirt, brush off the dirt kind of “get it together.” I’m talking about the going to rehab, kicking the habit, changing your life around kind of “get it together.”

Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems

I really don’t understand the excitement over voting to raise the debt ceiling before America defaults. This isn’t great, it’s tragic.

I can guarantee you that for the next week our news stations are going to be devoted to airing clips of lawmakers high-fiving and praising each other for reaching this bipartisan agreement - but these celebrations should be treated like a slap in the face to American citizens. This vote isn’t a solution, it’s just prolonging the inevitable and giving government more room to spend money it doesn’t have. We will find ourselves back here once again with even more debt.
