“Use the corresponding face for the corresponding emotion.” Meg Ryan in that movie where she goes to Paris to chase after her ex-fiancé. I’m one of those people who you can read like a book. If I’m happy, you’ll know it. If I’m confused, it’s written all over my face. If I’m mad, oh yeah, [...]

drop (to your knees) and give me 20…more!

I talk to my mom every day and see her several times a week. She lives close and I know I’m lucky. Believe me, I know. I lived 1000 miles away from her for a year. But now I live 1 mile away from her. I’m lucky. I know my sister would love to live [...]

For girls only…
Unless you just want to delve into the inner workings of the female mind, I suggest you click here instead of reading on. You’ve been warned. You’re welcome, Justin. I read a post this morning over at Virtuous Reality that made my heart stop. I wanted to just copy and paste the whole thing [...]
