Is this the DEATH of ALL relationships?
For whatever reason – probably just inherent curiosity, mostly… I’m always trying to learn something. I’m always studying human behavior, asking questions, and just trying to put the pieces together. Sometimes, if you look and listen long and hard enough… things make sense. But other times, nothing seems to make sense. One thing I’ve been…

I’m an expert in something:
Kind of a funny day, yesterday. One of those days you recognize as some sort of an “accomplishment,” but a very intangible one. Not like, say… a college graduation, where you’ve done “X” to get your diploma… and not even like your wedding, or the day your first child was born. Those are obviously significant…
