ReplyDelete"you don't need it if you have abs"
ReplyDeleteyou've got such charming writing. the perfect kind of aphorisms, just simple and fresh and honest.
I watched the whole film too. I will have you know that I only cried about half of my body's fluids out.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love your writing. Give me more!
I watched the whole film. Worth it, and I cried too. I have also learned all (Less than 25%) these things. (I still have a lot to Learn, this reminded me.)
ReplyDeleteLove this so much. its nice to remember that there are things to learn about life that aren't math and science.
ReplyDeleteThat Mark Twain quote is now one of my favorites. Good pick.
ReplyDeleteFunny and beautiful. What more could a reader ask for?
ReplyDelete"I've learned that a 4.0 is impossible if you take naps."
