Where do you live?

One of the great things about Twitter is how easy it makes sharing. We can now share our experiences about our lives, our jobs, our homes; our trials and tribulations as we make our way in the world.
The latest hastag #inaghettohouse is one of those rare glimpses into a life many of us live every day, but not all of us. For those who have never known poverty (yet still wealthy in comparison to places of true poverty such as India, the slums of Brazil, et. al.) I present a few words about living in the ghetto....


@TheRealMikeFoFo #inaghettohouse you feel inclined to fling your boogers or wipe them on the tiger stripped couch, you figure it couldnt hurt!

Black Friday shopping at Wal-Mart

Wal-Mart seems the place to be this Black Friday. What is considered by many to be the busiest shopping day of the year is all about savings, savings, savings. And it seems when consumers today are looking for savings, they push Wal-Mart to the top of the Twitter as the latest Trending Topic.

@DemiLoyalFans Wal-Mart is trending?! So they are Jemi fans too ;) They remember their Wal-Mart performance :D

@TheKillerTruth My prayers go out to everyone who works at Target and Wal-mart on #BlackFriday

@ayekylawssup Going to Wal-Mart ! & it's helluh nice weather right nao o;

@SavageLLife Wal-Mart, where shoppers go to lose their souls for "discount prices"...

@countrymarxist .@nolawineguy @blathering On the other hand if Wal-mart doubled as a polling place, Palin might be president already. #blackfriday

@bieberguurrl96 Thankkk you grandpaaa!!!! He was smart and called first. Everyone call wal mart before u leave the house and check to see if they have any

@asyadomingo My mom left me at wal-mart!

@Shontizzle1946 RT @comicstevebrown: IF BAMA LOSES TODAY I'M GONNA RUN THROUGH WAL MART NAKED....<<-- do it!!

@Ravi_Matah Read on a bumper sticker of a pickup truck parked outside Wal-Mart -"My wife took everything but the blame". - #quote

@itsBOOSKIE man if you really were out shopping since like 1am you better at least have gone somewhere that was worth it not Wal-Mart lmao

@BestWorstAdvice Too lazy to get showered and dressed for Black Friday shopping at Target? Then you're already showered and dressed for Wal-Mart.

@GaryJBusey There should be an aptitude test you have to pass in order to be able to utilize the self checkout register at Wal-Mart.

@fauxjohnmadden Just went to Wal-Mart for Black Friday and saw Wade Phillips was greeting people at the door. Good to see him find work so quickly.

@ar3ly__D been awake all day!! and still shopping! lol wal-mart was a mess! :D

Tweeting the American Music Awards

Proving once again there is no limit to how much television can ruin a perfectly good song (hear me, ad people who keep putting "Hey Soul Sister" in commercials) the American Music Awards brought out the worst and not-quite-as-bad in live performances Sunday night.
Eminem was a big winner, snatching two AMA awards; and Taylor Swift stepped on stage with straight hair and a bang-up look that says, "hey, look at me-I'm all grown up now!"

I missed the live event on ABC, but I am getting my fill of reviews from the Twitter:

@tmorello I used to think I LIKED music. Then I watched the American Music Awards and now I'm not so sure.

@LoserKyd Taylor Swift acceptance speech was perfect... She's the truth #ama2010 American Music Awards 2010

@YoNo_NoYo Keep your promise to show the @agnezmo !!!! RT @OfficialRCTI: It's show time!!! AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS 2010 now (cont) http://tl.gd/73rtf4

@traceysfolly Rihanna accepts Favorite Female Artist award at 2010 American Music Awards http://exm.nr/9zo1v4

@Riancosta Not only did he win 4 American Music Awards, but Justin is the youngest person EVER to win it. He beat Lady Gaga & Eminem #beastmode

@TikaSimone No offense but Ne-Yo looked like an uncircumcised penis at the American Music Awards last night.

@DrJays_com OMG. The red carpet at the 2010 America Music Awards last night was interesting. And we meant that politely. http://bit.ly/d9UJTY

@smellslikelove omg I totally dig avril lavigne's heels and hair on american music awards show!

@dcg1013 Just watched Ke$ha's performance from the American Music Awards. Um. Okaaaay. FYI: Do NOT watch if you are prone to seizures!

@RWZombie Watching the American Music Awards. Bieber has a gospel choir behind him. I guess he has soul? I now officially hate music.

@uncleTeeJay Rihanna on american music awards...the beginning sounds good, let's see how she does, she has arecord of not being good!!!

@Lord_Voldemort7 Who was that straight haired girl in pants who butchered the live version of a Taylor Swift song at the American Music Awards? Oh, wait...

@Monutella Lol 'Well, last year at the American Music Awards, Adam Lambert and his special friend Tommy swapped spit onstage and everyone died'.

The Ghailani verdict and American justice:

Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, the first Gitmo detainee to be tried in civilian court, was cleared of 284 terror charges and convicted of one. He faces 20 years in prison.
People around the world are ardently debating the meaning of this conviction. Was it a miscarriage of justice or a just punishment? Was it a sign the civilian court system cannot handle these cases or a show of strength for the same?
Don't look at me for the answer. Maybe some of these Twitter folks could give you more information....

Prince William to wed!

It is a fairy tale come true: Prince William will marry his long-time girlfriend, Kate Middleton.
Needless to say, so much for a quiet ceremony with just a few close friends. These two will likely have a wedding something on the order of the Prince Charles and Lady Diana extravaganza in 1981.

The gossip has been flying about William and Kate's on-again, off-again relationship for the past few years. Now that they have announced their intention to wed, the gossip level is off the charts.
Judging by the Tweets some folks seem almost giddy at news while others simply shrug their shoulders. Where do you stand?

@SkyNewsBreak Prince William is to marry Kate Middleton next year, Clarence House announces.

@wisp27 Y da media getting excited 4 prince william getting married?

@MagnumOpusMusic Here's some happy news for a change. :-) Prince William to marry Kate Middleton http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-11765422

@etraditions A big day for all Brits RT @nytimes NYT NEWS ALERT: Prince William of Britain Engaged to Be Married

@idapooh RT @margoks In spring or summer of 2011, Prince William & Kate Middleton will tie the knot in the biggest wedding since Charles & Diana's

@SaundraWeed I seriously dont blame Prince William for waiting so long to announce their engagment, blame the royal families PR

@andretorp Prince William marrying a girl for love. way to buck the royal trend

@_ZTAMS_ Prince William is engaged to his girlfriend. Yay! I wonder if he'll get married at city hall like I did.

@BritishMonarchy The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh are absolutely delighted at the news of Prince William and Catherine Middleton's engagement

@tastelikelove Prince William & Kate Middleton #royal wedding Congratulations!~ ^^

@eddplant Prince William is to marry a "Commoner" - at least we can be sure the kids won't have gills, or whatever else incest does to DNA.

@BBCNews David Cameron says he spoke to an 'extremely excited' Prince William; PM describes the news as a great moment for national celebration

@DannyC073 "Following their marriage, Prince William and Kate Middleton will live in north Wales." but where will they live after the divorce? #cynic

@J14Magazine It's official! Somebody's about to be a princess! Prince William is officially engaged to Kate Middleton!

@amber_lyon When I was younger I loved Prince William-thought Prince Harry was UGLY...Now that they have grown up...Harry wins in the hot department!

@edwardbryanphi So, Prince William and Kate Middleton got engaged. Congrats to the happy couple! :) sad news for some girls, though..

@curatinghope @mhess I didn't realize you knew Henryk Gorecki's work. We set an entire good friday mass to his music at the Co-Op

@jasonopus Górecki's "Symphony No. 3" is one of my favorite pieces of music, but it's so devastating I can't listen to it very often.

@jburka Listening to Górecki's Symphony #3 in memory of the composer. Still utterly gorgeous.
