I'm so glad that I didn't know him back then...

My best friend Nate, my beloved Natey-poo, is by far one of the greatest people that I've ever met. He's broadened my musical, artistic, literary and opened-minded horizons. He's gay. Loves to make fun of how big my boobs are, and officially hasn't had sex in 12 months. That must be a record. Good job, Nate. Good job.



Yeah, that kid needs to get laid.



Any way... Once upon a time, a time of which I didn't know this "Nate," a time of prepubescence, middle-school sobriety and… Continue

These are a few of my favorite things...



So, I love sharks. Is that weird? They are my favorite animals, and my best friend Rachael often says:



"Sarah, what the fuck? They are mean!"



"I don't care! They're so bad ass!"



Yeah. Sharks are so bad ass.



"I hope that one day when you're swimming in the ocean that a big ass shark just comes up and BITES you!"



"Good, I hope it happens!"



I hope it happens. Death by shark attack… Continue

Sit back, relax, and turn up the volume...

I'm a huge fan of International artists and musicians, especially those as talented and beautiful as Labuat. The following link takes you to her interactive music video (move your mouse around); something to indulge your senses. So sit back, get comfortable, and turn up the volume on your headset (for those of you currently at work).
