Soul Mates

I don't believe in soul mates. I really just don't think they exist. I think it's a term full of romantic nonsense that people who like to watch Dawson's Creek enjoy throwing around as if it means something. People end up with who they're attracted to, that's all there is to it. I believe that … Continue reading Soul Mates

Really, I guess it depends on my mood and the specific situation and the actual people … Continue reading Question of the Week #21

Disconnected

I'm not one who likes to admit when he's addicted to something. Good thing I'm not an alcoholic, 'cause isn't that step one?
