I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her. |
I didn't want the Web site to be impersonal and I wanted to interact with people, ... The hammer and chisel bit was not as easy as it looks. We broke 137 monitors trying to get that done. |
I gotta work out. I keep saying it all the time. I keep saying I gotta start working out. It's been about two months since I've worked out. And I just don't have the time. Which uh..is odd.
