Ello.co : A welcome change to the social media landscape

So there's this new social media thing. The "anti-facebook" out there in the virtual space. It is calling to all to join and not letting anyone join at the same time.  The elite, those with the coveted golden ticket can enter and partake on the newest social media site.  The Ello.co site is invite only while it is in beta testing.  I was fortunate enough to be able to access through someone in one of my Google+ circles (see Google+ is good for something :)).  I had a slight bit of difficulty entering the site because I was granted an invite, but just one I had to type in myself not the actual formal email invite.  So because I was trying to login using the regular ello.co site, and not the ello.co/join site, I had some issues BUT eventually we figured it all out and I was in. I soon discovered that I did not have the 25 invites that were once available.  This may have been because their server was down for a bit.  Virtually hundreds and hundreds of peo...

HATERS

Life isn't fair sometimes. People will never cease to say things to make other people feel awful and humiliate them. I have reached the point in my life where I have no tolerance for hateful people. I have seen too many beautiful and good people die to know that life is fleeting. These are lessons that you learn as you grow up.

It has become a place of difficult transition from young adult to adult hood now for kids everywhere and it makes no sense. It takes a second to be kind and smile at someone to make their day better...but haters don't know that.  They only know how to belittle a person, laugh at them, gather around them, take the video, post it, and make that person feel shitty...

Leslie and Keeping Austin Weird...by the Letter E

I was saddened today when I discovered that an Austin icon had passed away early this morning. Any visitor to my home town of Austin, TX would have seen him as he frequented the downtown area that was such a tourist destination. Many people came from everywhere just to see HIM. You couldn't miss him, as he was the only dude with pink hair and a scruffy beard wearing a tiara, a tutu, or 'booty' shorts and stripper heels. He was truly one of a kind and I think many may have secretly envied him because of his ability to express himself so freely simply because he could. He often touted that people often have a tendency to take themselves too seriously and life is a dance and should be enjoyed. He dared to enjoy his life, the world, and the people around him. Always willing to stop and take photos with tourists, and always able to talk your ear off. I encountered Leslie when I was in college and I had to use the city bus system to get through campus because parking was...
