I was just going through random “friendster” sites when I came across a profile of a girl that had under the “Who I want to meet” heading, “God”.
This led me to wonder if she ever got confused when a baddie in a Hollywood movie held a gun up to the hero’s head and said, “prepare [...]

Merry Christmas!

Posted by: Donn on: December 24, 2006

It’s Christmas again! Saying that last Christmas feels like it was like just yesterday may have been cliched to death, but that’s just the way I feel. Last Christmas certainly doesn’t feel that long ago. Has a year really passed?
