If I Were in the Olympics
Do you know when the Olympics are taking place? No, me neither… It’s not like we can turn on the television, radio, internet, or even look at any magazine or newspaper without knowing what the latest event is and who won, who lost, who’s too fat, who’s too thin, who let everyone down, and who […]
Things I Like In Theory
I like a lot of things. But I’ve realized that there are also a lot of things I like in theory, but not in practice. Confused? Let me explain.
