Something I don't understand... Why do future employers drug test you before you get a job? Isn't that kind of backward? I mean, if the applicant is a drug user, they are just going to cover it up by cleaning out their system before the test, or use fake pee... Continue reading

I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option. More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can't wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that's not only better, but also more... Continue reading

So here I am sitting at my computer after about a week of not posting anything, (I gotta get better at this) realizing that a lot happened since my last post. But none of it matters when I think about what happened yesterday. Let me introduce you to my fiance's... Continue reading
