My dog was a purebred and worth a lot...

Who said swearing doesn’t add emphasis? Whoever said that is wrong.

He/she was obviously offended.Well, I was just thinking, and have some spare time on my hands, I like cursing. I don’t...

You choose from selected tattoos that had a hope/Japan theme for $200 and all proceeds go to Japan relief organizations. Japan not long ago had a massive earthquake that was truly devastating (in...

So, my first journal entry. Well the topic for my first entry is far from happy or uplifting, just a forewarning and apology to whoever is reading this. There has been something on my mind, for awhile now, it’s kind of been haunting me. Well, I’m 18 years old and about 8 months ago I lost my virginity with my boyfriend who I had known for about a year, but officially dated for about 2 weeks....
