I still maintained all my independence while not neglecting my loved one. You just have to know how to live in a modern and healthy way. It's stupid for people nowadays to think that couples should be boring !

I have never read your blog until this post, and in no way did I hear anything overtly racist. Society has gotten so hyper-sensitive that every word spoken or printed into the public forum is subject to someone forcing a racist meaning into it where none existed. We should call out racist tones when we see/hear them, but we should know the difference between racism and literary allegory. The donkey or mule is the #1 symbol for 'stubborn'. Perhaps your detractor is analogous to an ostrich? You do raise an interesting point about our digital footprint, however. It's true that whatever mark or trail we leave online will be with us forever and is subject to interpretation, both positive and negative. Part of what should be taught to children of the digital age is where to draw the line between "sharing" and "sharing too much". It's part of a new set of social mores that are still under development. But good judgment is timeless and that is what should be integrated into the way we approach creating our digital footprint.

South Beach, Apparently by MiamiFoodie http://theulot.wordpress.com/2008/09/17/where-are-the-new-york-hotties-south-beach-apparently/#comment-324 MiamiFoodie Fri, 03 Apr 2009 20:58:41 +0000 http://theulot.wordpress.com/?p=301#comment-324 I just moved to Miami from NYC (Born in Queens, Lived in BK) and I LOVE MY NYC but there are definitely hotter people in MIA... I think the dress code might add to the appeal as well... You feel more conscious being a tubbo in a bikini rather than a fatty in a winter coat... And PS - Love the image from the W South Beach renderings!
