WHOA

A combination of post-finals sloth behavior and the holiday season has made me sluggish and 5 pounds heavier. As a result, I have failed to write in a week. Boo me. I have some topics in mind but have failed to actually write something. Most of my time has been spent with family and friends OR getting re-acquainted with an old friend called shopping. It seems as though my brain has also taken a...

I stayed away from these topics because they require more brain power than I have to spare. What follows is the result. I tried. Re: Tiger Woods, Really Tiger? You didn’t think these reality show nimwits would go home and brag that they shagged arguably the most recognizable athlete on the planet? REALLY?
