Why

Ugg Boot

I just had to start this post with a little humor. ....and since it's leap day, I order you to get out of your chair and jump around like an idiot and make a high pitch squealing sound. How many times a day to you get to act like you really don't care.


I titled todays post as why. Why did I do that? Why is the greatest question ever asked. The question why is the reason we speak, play and listen to music, believe in a higher being, invent, and so on. Why do I hurt people around me by wanting what I once had? If you understand what I'm talking about, you're probably one of those I should apologize to. I'm honestly sorry.
