Things lately have been interesting to say the least. I came back to FL for a purpose, to reestablish myself financially.

Dear Santa,

For Christmas this year I would like a Victoria's Secret Angels model, complete with her own outfit from the final walk of the fashion show this year.. I promise I will never ask for another thing again if you get me this last request... I'm even willing to wait a few years for delivery.

Thank you in advance,

Last year at ( Read more... )

Racing at the speed of light is the very fears I had when moving back to FL...oddly enough I seemed to disregard them all once I got here just cuz I was making money. I thought I dodge a bullet. Well...now it seems I won't be doing such and I wonder, why am I here? Christ...here we go again...
