I am actually referring to my hair, but I also have a strange sense of humor. It is funny how a beard and scraggly red hair with some white thrown in can make you look so much different. With the holidays quickly fading in the rear view, I am reluctant to let them go. I am always happy how I am able to continue some tradition, let go of some, and add new. Isn't that just the way all of life goes. Some old, some forgotten, some new... Every holiday though I am struck with how little we have changed or how we ignored the warnings of the past.

Today's cool thing and a bitch is all about the same item. The NBA has provided this really cool location in Meta Horizon's called NBA Arena.

And yes, no one administration or official should control the Fed (there is currently a board that is set over multiple administrations to ensure that one person or executive office cannot have full control). Why is this important? It is important to keep executive branches from artificially manipula...
As you can tell from what I have posted, I have been introspective and nostalgic as of late. I have spent a lot of time in my head, trying to remember th ings from my life. Honestly, I mean trying. I sometimes th ink we remember th e th ings we are reminded of th rough pictures, movies, etc ; and we remember th e th ings th at were extreme (negative or positive), but th e stuff in th e middle seems to get lost. As I am trying to remember th ings, like my mo th er and fa th er at a younger age, my siblings, and even time wi th my friends, I am struck wi th th e th ought of, why didn't I listen to all th ose teachers about keeping a journal!
