About Me

So far I've learned that life is too short and that being happy makes it seem longer.
Here's what makes sense to me: peanut butter and chocolate, holding hands with the person you love, and evolution.
I'm pretty sure that I turned out ok because I never owned a pair of Air Jordans.
Traffic laws were made for lesser mortals, so i don't subscribe to them often.
One time I walked into an North Port ice cream shop with a friend who pretended she was fluent in American Sign Language, and I pretended to be a mute Genovese fisherman who could only Sign in Italian. The hilarity we expected to ensue didn't ensue. Turns out there was a girl working the register who could also Sign, an old Genovese fisherman who hung out at the shop to pass his days, and an English/Italian translator buying gelato. What are the chances of that?!
I'm not religious or spiritual, but I believe in The Force. Yes, like in Star Wars.
I'd kill for them to bring back the Reggie Jackson Candy Bar before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
I'm going to make a fantastic old man.

Using Super-Powers Responsibly
