Who morted?
So. Yesterday my uncle Kevin came over to our house for a visit. At one point we were talking about a certain kind of outdoor recreation (I'm not going to get to specific here, for reasons that'll become obvious). He said, "Yeah. It's not 100% safe.

Surprises
Every once in awhile, I'll get a nice little surprise when I look at a food or drink label. Like when Mom bought hot pockets and I saw that the packaging said this: "Now with REAL cheese!" Excuse me?

About my new blog title
I decided to change the title of my blog (while keeping the original as a subtitle). The new title has to do with something a friend said to me in high school. We were in Spanish class, and I think I was acting kind of gloomy. My friend asked me how I was doing. "Fine," I said--not really wanting to elaborate.
