You and all your shiny carrots
You know what the problem with this world is…we take things entirely too seriously. I’m not suggesting that we give up on doing serious things but I am suggesting that we all take it down a notch. Politicians are so serious about protecting their livelihood, stock piling money, … [Read more...]
