Best S'more Ever!

Last night, my friends introduced me to a new type of S'more. I'm here to tell you that THE FUTURE IS NOW!

Replace the single square of chocolate with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup.

I'm sorry, but I'm never going back.

FOUND IT!

On my way to catch the bus home, I found this:



When my friends and I -played Final Fantasy XI, if someone discovered a location or anything noteworty we would yell (type) the name followed by "FOUND IT!". Examples include: "Cave Entrance. FOUND IT!", "Big Chicken. FOUND IT!", and "Chillzilla's dignity. FOUND IT!... just kidding"

Fake Leg. FOUND IT!

Becoming a moot point...

I completely understand social networking isn't for everyone. I know there are people who do not want anything to do with digital social contact. That is cool, I don't want to garden. No amount of grandiose jibba-jabba on the merits of gardening will make me want to garden. It's just the way it is. Congrats to the people who like it. I wish you and your spade well. I see the correlation.

When I'm around such a person, I attempt to keep my social networking piety from seeping into the conversation. On a few occasions, the topic came up and I've noticed the responses are exactly the same.

"I don't want to know what you had for lunch!"

Seriously? I follow a lot of people on Twitter and I can say that the majority of them are not about lunch. (I can't deny that there are some, but at least those that I follow, they are few and far between.) Please, lets change the talking point up. If your saying the sentence above because you find tweets to be pointless then just say:

"I find most tweets to be pointless."

Honest and to the point. Maybe you're saying the former sentence because you don't "get" Twitter and don't want to learn. Then I could suggest:

"I really don't understand the hubbub around Twitter and I don't have the time (desire/curiosity/need) to figure it out."

I didn't expect this to turn into a full blog post, but I'm getting tired of having to explain that Twitter isn't all about lunches. You either get it or you don't. Just embrace whichever camp you fall into.

I'm sorry, Christina Aguilera. It's me, not you.

I loved Xtina's Stripped album so much that I wanted to play it on two CD players at the same time just to absorb the music faster. I couldn't listen to the disc enough. There is nothing wrong with Back to Basics or her newest album, Bionic, but I'm a little disappointed I don't have the desire need to hear it over and over and over again.

The onus can't fall completely on Christina, right? I've created a fictional album in my head so great, Xtina can't possibily deliver it. I wouldn't call that fair.

Just so we are all on the same page...

While I've had this blog and my Tumblr blog for awhile, I've never mentioned. Here is a quick clarification.

http://www.chillzilla.com = This under-used blog. This space is used to write things that can't be said in 140 characters... in theory. Chillzilla.com posts are the movies of my blogging style.

http://www.chillzilla.net = My (also under-used) Tumblr Blog. This space is used to share random Internet packets I gathered from Google Reader, Tumblr, or my general surfing (which I don't do as much because of Google Reader.) I have an "Ask Me Anything" button posted there, so feel free to ask me anything. I like that Tumblr added this feature because it means I don't have to create a Formspring.me page. Chillzilla.net posts are the television shows of my blogging style.

If you know me and/or like me, feel free to follow both blogs. If you don't, you can send me nasty messages on either.
