You Got Punk'd?

Here is a complete list of my flaws for the day.... :-) Enjoy.

I often think of The Smurfs and completely disregard Fraggle Rock.
I assume most people like Mariah Carey more than I do.
I know all the words to Mama Mia.
I think people underestimate Bonanza.
The number three is ugly.
I was wildly off on my predictions for the winners of the last Tony Awards.
People who don't enjoy the food network aren't to be trusted.
The small misfortunes of others bring too much joy to my days.
Sometimes I mistake E.R. and Scrubs as the same show.
Pants are optional.

Take it or leave it my friends.

Nebraska is for Lovers

I feel like there comes a point in every person's life where he or she is asked to make the life altering decision of what to do with his or her future. I feel like that crucial moment speaks for what will be expected from that person for the rest of his or her life. I feel like that's a load of crap. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KNOW WHAT YOU WANT TO BE. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE. YOU DON'T HAVE TO KNOW ANYTHING. But it's cool if you do.
Here I am, entering my senior year of college... and I haven't a clue, not the slightest. It feels pretty okay.
