My Bloody Valentine
As others spent a good deal of money on jewelry, flowers, and a fancy gourmet meal at Red Lobster impressing a girl who turned out wasn't even going to put out at the end of the night, as some lost themselves in front of their tvs alone watching Sleepless in Seattle surrounded by boxes of chocolate, and as a lucky few sat at a bar for hours getting ( Read more... ) -

Black & White Friday
I'm glad to say that I had a very nice and pleasant Thanksgiving on Thursday. It was rather delightful fulfilling my American duties, dedicating an entire day to stuffing my face. It took a lot of work, but I'm a true patriot. God Bless America! These extra 5lbs on the scale are for you! Salute.
