play guitar guy
In a way, watching an attractive, potentially dangerous guy play guitar is a little like watching a tiger agree to do tricks for his trainer. You know that they could just turn and kill you.

And we shake our heads in an inability to comprehend what went wrong here.

mother taste facts

echoes childhood training
The whole narcissism and echo syndrome is usually the result of early childhood training. Those are very hard habits for anyone to break.
sports gun magazines
It's surely no accident that there are horoscopes in Vogue, Glamour, Mademoiselle, Woman, New Woman, Elle and Cosmo ... but not Sports Illustrated, GQ, Esquire, Field & Stream or Guns & Ammo.
