put down the lighter

I'm looking forward to going out again. We really haven't been doing jack lately. Usually we would be heading out to the bars to check out some musical stylin's or just to be around some humans but be...

this just really sucks.

*sigh* My grampa ain't doin' so well at the moment. I'm heading to NY on thursday to be with my family and hang with my gramma when my folks are at work. I really hate being an adult sometimes...it's ...

maybe I need to step away from the remote

if I only new a good contractor

You know what I noticed? People on tv never lock or unlock their doors. Of course I also notice they don't use the bathroom but I just assume that part they save for when they are off camera since it'...
