I'd blow a gasket trying to think of my top 5 anything. Very difficult for me to do.


I like different things at different times. I'm not very consistent. Sorry!

Top Five Rules:
1.) Do it now.
2.) If you're gonna do it, do it right.
3.) Feeling bad doesn't fix anything.
4.) Never talk to their mask, or through yours.
5.) Each person gets one good cry on my shoulder, and that is all. If there's enough pain for tears, there's enough motivation to fix the problem. Any more tears after that will be ignored and disrespected.

Top Five Life-Changing Sites/Articles:
1.) www.stevepavlina.com
2.) www.30sleeps.com/blog
3.) www.dedroidify.com/vids

Top 5 things to say to Mormons

- pay your tithing yet? if not, give yourself a ten percent raise by not doing it

- You honestly expect me to believe this crap?

- Joseph Smith was a confidence man

- Phish sucks

- Why is it that Mormons pick so many cliché "favorite" movies?
