|

Such is the case with the terrible...

Bad Influence

Joey and I used to be like minded. We thought the same on everything. We had the same views on religion and politics. He would often complain to me about Cindy’s religious and political points of view. Cindy belongs to a...

The American Dream is an illusive creature. When we think of it- we often think of the cookie cutter image of the life with marriage, 2.5 kids, a nice house in the suburbs with a picket fence- and a good job. In reality it is a...
