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
