Today marks a very significant part of our lives. Today is the day for change. Oh, I don’t mean May 10, 2012; I don’t mean New Year or your birthday. I mean Today – whatever you’re doing, whatever day you’re reading this, wherever the hell you are. We are so obsessed with waiting for New […]

To all those times I fell flat on the floor, to all the stupid things I’ve done and will do, to all those times my ass was heavy and my head was in the clouds, to that time in my life when I was 20 pounds heavier, this one’s for you. […]
