Being Positive is more than a slogan
Regardless of my rants on this site, I tend to be a glass half full type of person. I like being independant. I enjoy the idea of naivety. There’s quite an innocence-lost in pessimism that eludes me. Being positive, for real, that’s the topic of today’s rant. Read the rest of this entry

Even McDonalds thinks we’re too fat
