In life, it’s crazy how certain things can drive us crazy. I’m thinking of people who shamelessly double-cross you in line at the supermarket. People who don’t cook pasta al dente, and cut it when they put it in boiling…
With my teeny-tiny measurements – I’m 1 pixel high by 1 pixel wide – I go completely unnoticed. So, yeah, I’m pretty damn short. But oh, how strong I am. Very, very strong! I’m not giving you my self-portrait. The…
