Unlimited Characters

I hate Twitter.  140 characters is hardly enough for me to even start telling a story.  I know there are very talented people out there that are good at summing up all of their thoughts in 140 characters.  I am not one of them.  As it is I talk too much and could be described as "wordy" on a good day.  Facebook is fun, but (no surprise) sometimes even 420 characters is too little for what I want to say.  Enter the blog.

I used to think blogging was stupid too.  But it does feed my ego and people have commented that I should write a book about my Facebook posts.  Let's be real.  No one would want to read a whole book from me and I'm too busy to sit down and write one.  So enter the blog.

As for the name "Unlimited Characters," I think my rant about Twitter above explains why I chose the title.  That and the fact I don't want to be limited on what I write about.  I have many interesting people in my life, the most interesting ones happen to be under 5 feet tall.  I happen to think they are pretty funny.  Maybe you will too.
