As if we don’t have enough laws already, politicians are continually adding new laws as well as amending old ones. Some are definitely needed. Some are well, quite interesting. I guess the lawmakers have to feel like they are earning their salary!
Take for example a law in Riverside, California that states that it is illegal to kiss on the lips unless both parties bathe their lips with carbonized rose water. (Where does one get carbonized rose–water??). In Walnut, California – no person shall wear a mask or disguise on a public street without a permit from the Sherriff. Kinda …

Okay, so the headline only really works if you sing it like Madonna, but I’m expecting that most of you either did or now will go back and do so.
In honor of last week being Social Media Week, I realized I needed to get back into gear and get another blog posted. It’s been a while since I last posted (that seems like a familiar theme every time I get on here) and I really don’t have much of an excuse.

I realize that I start off too many of my posts with, “It’s been a while.” or something along those lines, so today I will just skip that part since it’s pretty clear I’ve been missing in action for quite some time. (I guess this whole introduction defeats that purpose…)
I’ll start by saying that nothing has changed in my untimeliness when I write these posts. I really should be working on homework right now, but I’ll get to it as soon as I’m done. After all, it is summer, isn’t it? With a part-time job, a part-time internship, two …
