Okay to think that maybe ... http://clinkny.wordpress.com/2008/02/21/having-a-hard-time-getting-up-for-the-blog-these-days/ Dear People Who Think My Life is Perfect/I Only Write About the Good Stuff: Ha. Hahahaha. Go back and read a little. This place is chock full of shit about my life that I haven't even told some of my closest friends. There's good, there's bad, and there's ugly.

Dear Rhode Island, You will never be the same. Sorry bout that. Love, Clink. http://clinkny.wordpress.com/2008/02/08/you-know-youre-going-to-visit-molly-when/ One of the most amazing parts of this line of work is that I get glimpses into the lives of people that I would mostly likely never come across otherwise.

I don't like every blog that I come across. (Shock, awe, I know.) And I don't expect everyone to like my blog either. (More shock, more awe, etc.) But I also don't ever feel the need to publicly tear another blogger down for being who they are. Blogging at its best ... http://clinkny.wordpress.com/2008/01/24/778/ It happens every year around this time. I should be surprised that I am surprised. Everything - from the sky to, you know, life - starts to take on a grey pallor. There is much to be excited about: Eli Manning finding himself at just the right moment, visiting Molly in three ... http://clinkny.wordpress.com/2008/01/22/the-blahs-mid-winter-edition/ I am not, nor have I ever been, a competitive person.
