Why is it that right when i start doing great things for my body i start doing things to sabotage myself at the same time…

Seriously, why does anyone blog?

I blog, for myself. I blog because it is one way for me to deal with my writing OCD. I blog because it is one way for me to vent, to express myself, to interact with strangers, to meet people, to be part of a community, to feel like I am part of something bigger then just me.

But I also blog because I want to know that I matter. I want to know that those things I go through and sometimes feel I can’t fully share with the people in my life because they just wouldn’t get it, those things, well, I want to know that they matter to others.

I blog because it makes me feel like I am part of this world, not just living in it, but truly part of it. I blog because it often helps to get through rough time, because I am one of those people who’s got issues when it comes to talking about things, so I have to write them down to get them out. I blog because it complements my pen/paper diary. I blog because I get to ask questions and get answers…

Why do you blog?

Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is crooked in his ways. (Proverbs 28:6 ESV)

We have all heard the saying, “It’s not about how you start, but how you finish.”

So let’s end 2011 by kicking ass this last week of the year. Let’s finish this year healthy and strong!

I’m going to end this year better than I have ended any other year!

Let’s all end this year better/stronger than we started it!

*at the slowest, shittiest speeds they can possibly provide

If you live in a big city like New York or San Francisco, I can’t imagine why you’re still using AT&T. Seriously, just switch to Verizon, it’s wonderful. But millions are sticking with AT&T and as a present this Christmas, they’re getting flaming bags of shit sent their way.

I’ve had at least a dozen friends in the past couple of weeks says that they’ve received messages from the carrier saying their service will soon be throttled. Why? AT&T claims they’re using 12 times more data than the “average smartphone user”, and in an effort to maintain their network, they’ll start reducing the speed of their data.

It’s complete and utter bullshit.

These are people who pay for unlimited data (which AT&T has since discontinued, but they were all grandfathered in). AT&T doesn’t want to face the backlash if they kick them out of those contracts, so instead they’re taking more subtle, slimy maneuvers to make sure they can screw over long-standing customers.
