Social Networking

It seems that Facebook has won the award for most popular social networking site. Well, at least for my blog's sake. I'm interested to see how long Facebook will hold it's title with up and coming sites like Twitter taking the world by storm. Many people say that they don't understand Twitter and why people are on it. I've heard the same thing from people about Facebook. I'm interested to see what you think of the sites. And you can follow me at both.

Reinvention-Part I

I think it's time to "reinvent" the diva in myself.

For years, I've been living the life. I've had a great job, an amazing apartment, and if ever I wanted something I just went out and bought it. I had the lifestyle, but I took it for granted. I always had bigger dreams and ambitions and was never satisfied with what I had. I always pushed to be better, to have more, to do more. As I like to call it, I was the "small town boy with the big city dreams."

As many of you know, I recently relocated across the country. I left it all behind-everything. Friends. Family. The life I'd always known.

Why would I do this? I ask myself that very question each and every day. The thing is, when you hear of someone's great success story, you don't hear of an easy journey. You never hear about how they lived in a small town and one day someone just picked them out of a crowd. You hear about trials and tribulations. Errors and failures. Hard times and huge, rising successes. Am I living in a dream world? Have I done something foolish and spur of the moment?

All these thoughts have been going through my mind lately, and I'm feeling sort of overwhelmed. I'm quickly finding out that life here is so much more different and difficult than I had expected. I'm not used to the Pennsylvania way of life. To be honest, I feel as if I'm at a crossroads in my life, and I don't really know which direction to go. Do I stick it out up here and try and make it work? Do I go back to my home town, where nothing ever happens? I'm used to being in control of my life, and for the first time ever, I'm not. That scares the shit out of me. I just want to "transplant" my old lifestyle from TN to PA. Is that ridiculous?

First Poll

Hi everyone!

I wanted to let you know I've created a poll for your "Biggest Summer Beauty Concerns."

I need your feedback so that I can write my first review. Based on your posts, I will take the top concern, pick my favorite product for it and write about it.

Thanks so much for your participation.

What is this?

For as long as I can remember, I've loved skin. Actually, I'm obsessed with it. I love to try new things and I love to give people my personal testimonies. In fact, I love to try new things so much that I have more products than any man ever should. My friends will tell you, it's a sick obsession, often leaving me with more than I know what to do with, and usually giving tons of it away.

I've often used the phrase "friends don't let friends have dry skin or chapped lips." It sounds funny, but you can ask those closest to me, I am totally serious. I often have people ask me "What are you using for your skin? How do you get your hair to do the things that it does? Why do you always have 'butter soft' hands?" Lol. Well, to be honest, it has a lot to do with the place that I work but I also use tons of products that don't come from there.

That is why I have created A Chunk of the Middle. I've decided to use this blog to share with everyone some of my favorite products, why I love them, and why you should use them too. I will also address many other subjects such as exercise, fashion, culture and beauty.

I encourage you to email me with some questions/comments of your own. I'd love to answer some of your questions and hear about some of your favs too.
