While spending Memorial Day in Fire Island, I realized how weird a name Long Island really is. We say it all the time and never actually think about the name itself. Long Island. It's nothing more than a very basic topographical description of land. You won't appreciate the humor unless you can imagine yourself having a conversation with a Native American hundreds of years ago. [He has a stereotypically heavy Native American accent]
Me: "Hello Chief, where are you from?"
Chief: "Long Island."
You see what I mean? It's pretty weird.

Twitter defines real fame.
Twitter has made the definiton of fame crystal clear. If your death doesn't become a trending topic, you're not famous. Simple as that. A few hours ago Macho Man Randy Savage died, and now #ripmachoman, Savage, and Slim Jim are all trending on Twitter. That guy was truly famous! A big part of his fame came from his work as the spokesperson for Slim Jim, which is extra special for me because I worked for the guys that created the "Snap into a Slim Jim" campaign. That aside, it's amazing how Twitter and fame go hand in hand. #JustSayin'
