Here, we aren't constrained by some little box in which we're supposed to fit all our thoughts.<br /><br />Here, we can have a human conversation without all the ads and without someone telling us to hurry up, like life is a "Tweet."<br /><br />It's life's thoughts. And we all have them.Within Withouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245583199805931102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552861979383608359.post-91697276953350034232011-09-16T09:13:00.519-04:002011-09-16T09:13:00.519-04:00A "Like" button just for comments WOULD ...A "Like" button just for comments WOULD be handy. Am thinking a two-headed match or candle burning on both ends is definitely going to end up in one of my future collages ... Maybe when I finish the Mexico-themed one in about three years.

I'm constitutionally not that way, not to mention that, because of my training in journalism, I'm not comfortable with the first-person just in general. (Even in a comment!) It's other bloggers with beautiful souls who have pulled me along a bit, one in particular who encouraged me to open up comments ...

I suspect that, if you asked, they might allow you to use it. <br /><br />Better yet, use it as a template for your own design.

Why is it that we can't be this intimate on Facebook where we can actually control the readership, and yet out here, where there are more whackjobs than stars in the sky, we toss our heart on the counter without blinking an eye.<br /><br />The most interesting thing on Earth are other people..and we love finding out that we're not that different and for the most part we share similar experiences, but yet somehow we all find other ways to go up shit creek without paddles.<br /><br />We can't have it all because there is no all. The good old days are happening right now that's why (*insert cliched truthism now) they call it the Present.<br /><br />You made it and now you know that this IS it and whoever dreamed up that LIFE would have 20/20 hindsight can shove it up their cosmic ass.Romeo Morningwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10826410608415260786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4552861979383608359.post-78119993347635093922011-09-15T22:11:57.843-04:002011-09-15T22:11:57.843-04:00Yea, burning candles at both ends does have it'...Yea, burning candles at both ends does have it's consequences.........Alex Pendragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15877845166621794334noreply@blogger.com
