Okay, anybody who knows me on Facebook or Twitter knows that I am currently obsessed with doge stuff. It's a skill.

It's 4 weeks into January and I have made 9 posts including this one. I read my posts again and they are not as funny as I felt as I wrote them. Maybe because I'm sober now. And have had enough sleep. Makes sense.

So congratulate me for sort of maintaining 2 lame posts per week. Where the hell are my fans, anyway...

Dear users of the internet,
In January 2012 we defeated the SOPA and PIPA censorship legislation with the largest Internet protest in history. A year ago this month one of that movement's leaders, Aaron Swartz, tragically passed away.

Veisalgia: a poem

Your sweet-smelling hair
Satin-smooth and rain-damp
It's the tall, cold, moist wine glass
Cradling the repressed cocktail made up of
Hush-soft lips that melt in my mouth

The fluid tenderness of your tongue
Pillow-cheeks, gentle to clash against
When I'm teasingly nibbling on the cherry garnish
That is your ear, every curve, every dimple

Finished off with a neck
Like a tall tower of Irish cream
Buttery, rich, velvety and extremely intoxicating

I've learned this tip from my favorite photography website where I learned most of my self-studied photography skills and I'd like to share it with you. This is regarding prime lenses, though. Might not fully apply to telephoto lenses. Here's an excerpt from the article:

Say Goodbye to Whatsapp

Or not. Depends on how much money you make and if you really need it.

Early last year, Whatsapp decided to charge users 99 cents yearly for using the app but gave existing users at the time of the announcement one more free year using it.
