I get lost in the act of wishing. I wish I played tennis more. I wish I were more extroverted. I wish I played guitar better. I wish I did a better job of marketing this blog. I wish those jeans I got a couple of years ago weren't so tight. I wish I were more comfortable (and effective) at networking. I wish that I wrote (and published) more often. I wish I were taller. I wish I called my mom more often. I wish I didn't have a commute. I wish I had published a book by now. I wish I … [Read more...]
Reach out and touch someone

More people are watching porn than ever before. A recent poll showed that 79% of people are consuming porn nowadays. It was in the 30% range in 1983. The studies also show people are having less sex.

We spent time in the hospital and visiting. I loved seeing my Mom. I had a great time for my birthday. It was wonderful spending time with family to celebrate the nephew.

The second I touched it, my heart sank. I selected the 'Settings' icon. The app hiccuped. It looked like it might work. Then it froze. I'm frustrated. I wrote my post today. I wrote it on my phone. It's convenient that there's a Wordpress app for the iPhone. There is an inconvenience - I have to copy the text of what I write to the clipboard before I save the draft. If I don't the app might blow up. I'll lose what I wrote. I forgot to copy the text today. I lost what I … [Read more...]
