America allows Nike, Exxon Mobile,...

Secret #678
The thought of changing politics makes me feel content.  Actually, I’m jealous of the way they think, its so simple at times.

Love.
“Love is passion. Obsession. Someone you can’t live without. Someone you fall head over heels for. Find someone you can love like crazy, and will love you the same way back. Listen to your heart. No sense in life without this. To make the journey without falling deeply in love, you haven’t lived a life at all. You have to try, because if you haven’t tried, then you...

Fox News Haters.
Overheard at local coffee shop:
Guy 1: Fox News is so stupid.
Guy 2: They try to scare everyone with tax raises. "Obama's plan means higher taxes!" they warn.
Guy 1: Yeah.
Guy 2: (With anger) I want higher taxes, if that means I actually have health care!
Guy 1: No kidding.
I love New York.

The Christian Defensive.
“and Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends” So apparently, due to the above lyrics in his new hit, “Empire State of Mind” JayZ is an enemy of the Christian religion.  I keep up with a blog, “Christian Nightmares” where I found a video about the evils of society, including people like JayZ with his new lyrics. Being a fan of the song, I found...
