  • Made it! #socialcurationsummit (@ Social Curation Summit w/ 3 others) http://t.co/MT7rR7a9 #
  • This driver is a trip. He overshot where he needed 2 drop me off & is trying to charge me more for his mistake. I'm no dummy bro. Not paying #
  • What does renting a U-Haul truck have to slavery? Why would anyone think it's a good idea to have an ad w slaves in it on their trucks? #
  • Since I'm in traffic, have you seen those bizarre U-Hauls in BK with the ads on them talking about slavery w pic of slave? So inappropriate #

  • I made vegan AND chicken couscous. The vegan dish is kinda bland, sorry guys. I guess my meat-loving self has some how-to videos to watch. #
