To My Readers…
I ran into B-Dub’s girl yesterday and we got to talking about blog posts and the funny things that happen in our lives. During the conversation, I was asked why I wasn’t posting anymore. So to all of my three readers, I have to be honest that I have just been in a blogging funk [...]
It’s That Time Again
You’re in the right spot if you were looking for Twistedsideways. It’s that time again where I get bored with the style and layout of my blog and give it a face lift. I haven’t really been digging my previous blog format for awhile and I have been looking for some new themes and ideas [...]
