Go Paperless. Or, go braless. Paperless, Braless, What's the Difference?

Dear Readers:

As usual this post will be a compendium of random thoughts.

I will try to provide some guidance so that you don't say, "W.T.F.," but if the Guidance isn't enough, then you are left to navigate the blog and post with your Expert Cyberspace Skills only. Feel free to leave any comment you want. Whoa, but don't overload the server, now.

Why is everyone telling me to go paperless? I am a big proponent of the environment and I understand that it saves trees (I do try to go paperless when possible). In general, people should go paperless when they can.
But ...
I refuse to stop buying books or carry all of my books on an electronic device (like a Kindle or E-reader), just so I can "go paperless." ( I saw an ad that touted this advantage the other day, that is what sparked this thought ). I'm not against the Kindle, just do not want one right now.
I am tired of seeing "go paperless" constantly. Also, if there was no paper and no use for it any more, wouldn't we have too many trees? Now, gentle readers, that's a dilemma.
I prefer to go braless. Not REALLY, but I wanted to write that.

The other day I spoke to a homeless man (near Harry Hines Blvd. and Mockingbird in Dallas) (maybe in his early 50s, with a sad look in his eye, and a very colorful T-shirt ) who, after I gave him a dollar, told me: "my foot is so swollen," (I am not sure what was wrong with his foot) and "my dog just had babies." We didn't have much time to chat, so I was left to ponder, where does he keep his dog? In the homeless dog shelter?
And, how can he afford a dog? I'll have to ask when I'm not stopped at a stoplight.

Delicious CD / song you've been waiting for, but were afraid to ask:

Get the 3 oh! 3 album, Streets of Gold. (Okay, it's a little teenage-ish, are you surprised????????????????????????????? question mark overload) A good song on there is My First Kiss (duet with Kesha, or... if you prefer... Ke$ha). This album just came out in June. The group is from Boulder, Colorado, and basically they are white boys who rap and sing. Here is a link for you: 3Oh!3, from wikipedia.

I am working on changing the layout of the blog, so don't be surprised if you see future changes.

Okay, gotta go before I over use the bold symbol, Gentle Readers,

love,
Alice
