About Me

Quote in a Taking Back Sunday song, from a movie called Beautiful Girls.

"A beautiful girl can make you dizzy, like you've been drinking jack and coke all morning. She can make you feel high, full of the single greatest commodity known to man, promise. The promise of a better day, the promise of a greater hope, promise of a new tommorow. This particular aura, can be found in the gait of a beautiful girl, in her smile, and in her soul, and the way she makes every rotten little thing about life seem like its gonna be ok."
