This Shift Allows You To Recognize That With Every Choice You Make, You Are Voting Either For Or Against The Kind Of World You Wish To See...

I'm From The Gulf Coast Of Louisiana.

People Have Amazing Ideas.

Every Love Story Needs A Catalyst Of Some Sort.

I Want To Bulk Up. I'm A Skinny Guy.

What I've Started To Realize Is That Social Media Is Not Just Technology - It's Become Its Own Entity, Full Of Energy Waves. These Energy Waves Could Be A Tweet About Something You Are Furious About, Like The Keystone Pipeline, Or A Piece Of Legislation. Instantly, Energy Surrounds And Adds Traction, Influence, Making It Come Alive

Very Little Makes Me Feel Vulnerable These Days. I Hit My Absolute Apex Of Vulnerability When I Returned To My Home State Of Louisiana, During The Gulf Oil Spill Disaster, And Witnessed Mass Devastation To Every Demonstration Of Life Surrounding Me - From Grass, Trees, Bayous, Insects, To Animals And People - We All Felt Demolished.

Nina Dobrev Makes My Job Easy, Its Hard Not To Melt When She Looks At You With Those Doe Eyes.

The Most Underused, Under-appreciated Group Of People In The World Is Our Youth.

I Learned That Canadians Are Furious Because Canada Is Exporting Water To The United States. Their Lakes Are Shrinking Because They're Selling Water To The U.s. We Water Our Golf Courses And Every Ice Cream Shop And Every Coffee Shop In The Country Because The Health Inspector Has Said You Have To Have A Steady Stream Of Water Cleaning Your Spoons That You're Frothing Milk With And Their Ice Cream Scoopers. Are You Kidding Me? We're Wasting All This Water While We're Sucking It From Canada And They're Watching Their Lakes Shrink?
