I’m out of school, unemployed, no longer sick, and my life’s starting to get some rhythm back.
Some days I feel like I’m standing at the edge of a cliff, on the verge of jumping into an ocean of uncertainty.  I’ve got to say, I’m a bit scared.
Most days though, I’m so excited about the possibilities [...]

He states:
Everybody, if they’ve got their head on straight, wants to be a sexual object, among other things. They want to be attractive. Otherwise, what a sad and pathetic life. To really live [...]

The audacity of some of the things written in these sacred scriptures are just mind-blowing.  It’s sad that so often the academia of [...]

If I ever get ordained and become a Reverand, I’ve got my branding down.

I’m not sure if I really want to be associated with a woman’s hair product, but it sure looks cool.
My thought of the day:  Do I really believe that I can make a living doing what I do best  and enjoy?  And [...]
