Agony Aunt #1

Your problems are my business.

Dear Miss Demeanor,

Sucks to be Farrah…

Poor old Farrah Fawcett. After a long and public battle with cancer and the release of a dramatic, last-rites-the-end-is-nigh-any-minute-now, I’m-on-my-deathbed photo only to have Michael Jackson steal her thunder at the final hour!
I wonder what would have happened if Princess Diana, Elvis and Michael Jackson all died on the same day. The Internet would explode. [...]

In the beginning…

God created the heaven and the earth. And I created this blog. Which is the greater feat? Which will last the longest? Time will reveal all. God’s efforts so far leave a lot to be desired. But then my previous attempts at this sort of thing have hardly shown any signs of commitment or [...]
