I believe that white and black are not boring shades for clothing… but purple totally is.

I believe that Oreos have much to teach us about living in harmony.

I believe that half the time I should just shut up. And the other half of the time, I should be on alert for the same.

I believe that love is possible, but like is equally cherishable.

    You’re darn skippy, my friend. Too bad this lesson isn’t learned early by more people.
