system overload… please standby for reboot

It’s been an exhausting week.  I feel like after work is other work, little sleep but I’m loving it… maybe I’m just loving him.

PostSecret…

Some people think it’s a silly concept and it’s too “chicken soup for the soul”-esk, but all lifetime jokes aside, I really like reading PostSecret every week and deciphering the homemade postcards with anonymous secrets.
Here are a few of mine:

I thought you were so interesting and smart until I found out that you’re really just self-righteous, [...]

Cleaning house

There are just some people in my life, who used to be oh so close to me, and they keep breakin my heart over and over again.  I’m through.  I don’t need to please you because you want to be friends.  You know what?  I’d rather not be friends then have to be reminded over [...]

Pimp my bachelor pad!

Absolutely.  I love decorating a room, especially when it’s not my own.  My opinions and tastes are still evolving, so something I love a year ago may be an abhorrence today.

and… welcome the “I told you so” song!

Not everyone may agree, but this article featured in PCWorld has some similar, and equally sarcastic, review of the almighty Facebook:

“#3. The Anti-Social Network: Facebook Beacon

“We have to give props to Facebook for stealing the social networking spotlight from MySpace this year. But once it got up on stage, Facebook laid an egg. For example, [...]

Gift Giving and eternal wish lists

 Most of you have probably finished your Christmas gift shopping.  Heck, I’ve already passed my presents out.  (You never know who’s not going to be around for the holidays.)
But here are some inspiration and smackdowns for the procrastinators.
