The Truth About Cats and Dogs in Black and White

Truth is just one person's reality. Here is mine in black and white (maybe some shades of gray). This blog has little to do with Cats or Dogs - just humourous sarcastic antics about my life or occasionally, someone else's. You know, intercepting volleyballs with my face, egg dropping, etc. The truth has seen some changes and in fluidity with change expect to see more artistic expressions posting up - so give your two cents worth!

Seems like the goals progressed nicely. Really there was a lot of stuff there. And I think I took more risks this year so that can be a check. I've gone dt with people I don't really know, gone to parties alone and talked with that guy at O'Reilleys. And I got purple highlights. You've been a good influence.
