I firmly believe that much of Hell involves a never ending loop of Michael Bolton Christmas music.
I wonder if God is amused when we discover things about ourselves that He has known along.
Coffee, kettle korn, LOUD Texas music, and Tweets keeping me company. Feels like some sort of Survivor contest.
Hour 8 at office working on processes to be more efficient in ‘09.
Most annoying marketing term. Anything with “best kept secret”. That just means you suck at marketing.
