Africa
Why do I have Toto’s “Africa” stuck in my head? I have no idea.

This looks really interesting. Downloading it to give it a go. Free is good.

How are you?
How are you?
I hate that question.
Not because it elicits any ill intentions from the inquisitor, but because it makes me feel like I’m being put on the spot.

So much information hits us all on a daily basis, I sometimes find it difficult to determine which thoughts are my own and which are there due to an outside influence. Here I’ll attempt to control that flow. At least for those thoughts over 140 characters in length.

Getting the hang of this Tumblr thing.
