[Posted originally for my Sunday guest spot on the Parking Lot Confessional] I’m not one to take to intimately about myself, mainly because I don’t think people give a shit about my life (being that we’re firmly entrenched in the selfish area, where most people will listen to your problems solely to have the right [...]
