Tick tock...
In four weeks, I will be in Costa Rica…sandy beaches, white-water rafting, getting pissed off of Imperial beers, zip-lining, fishing, surfing, buying machetes, 4-wheeling through the forest, getting pissed off centenario, mixing it up with the locals, hiking, free-diving, etc. Seriously, January, hurry. the. fuck. up.

I think my family is trying to tell me something; some of my gifts:
A commemorative bottle of Jameson Whiskey with signature glassware.
An exceptional bottle of Pinot Noir.
A ring that is designed to be able to open beer bottles.
A expensive leather-bound book of 1001 Wines to Try Before You Die.
A visa gift card with explicit instructions to be used only for cab fare.
A cooking knife.

The older I get...

I know she didn’t think when she turned 24 that she had already lived half her life. My grandfather died at 55. I’m pretty sure he was unaware of the fact that at 28, my age...
Hey Everyone! Come see how good I look!!

In my experience, people who enter themselves into these kinds of contests are either exceptionally conceited (did I really see an article about how hard it is to date when you’re beautiful?? really??) or profoundly insecure. This doesn’t seem like your style but I barely know you anymore so who knows? You used to bash...
Confused...
A few generalities: Aren’t most of the people against socialized medicine right wing conservatives? And aren’t most right-wing conservatives christians? And wasn’t Jesus a socialist?? I mean, it was him that said to sell everything you have and give it to charity, right? And wasn’t the story about the poor person giving two copper coins being more devout than the rich man...
