Need A Sexy Tweet? Try Chatting With @DrBenKeeton #KeetonCures

But this one just confused me because it was a verified character of a new ABC television show called “Off The Map.” I am a huge fan of any ABC dramatic series, and a huge television fan in general, especially when the oh so talented Shonda Rhimes (Grey’s Anatomy & Private Practice) gets involved. But I did find myself tweeting my feelings of a weird vibe it gave me to chat with a TV character (aka a social media employee or intern.) Chatting with an actor, actress or entertainer is one thing, but fake chatting with a fake person?

It Gets Better (If You Stick Around For It) #ItGetsBetter

A beautiful viral movement has started: It Gets Better. It all began because of one man’s outrage over the senseless suicides of young gay teens who ended their lives because of bullying.
