I've had quite a few dogs in my years. I recently read a quote about dogs that said "don't be a dick to your dog. For you he's a part of your life, but for him you're his whole life." This is true and I need to re-examine how I've treated my dogs ( Read more... )

It's 4:30pm on a Sunday. I go back to work tomorrow, so I decided to take a nap with Tevan. I think we napped for about 2 hours and the entire time I was dreaming about my brother.

I always thought that if I made what I make (around $78,000 per year) and I had been doing so for years that I'd be financially fit. I can make a lot of excuses for my financial situation and some of them are valid (like my house giving me huge hit after huge hit) but almost all of them can be traced back to my stupid ass decision making. So, I'm ( Read more... )

My thoughts on beauty and good looks have changed so much in my life. It used to be that, for me, beauty was all in the eye, but that was before I grew up.
