Things I Know...

Practically every other part of this page is humor, or has humorous content. This page does not. This page are, well, I guess the best way to put it are 'life lessons' and philosiphies that I've 'discovered.' ~shrugs~ Maybe you'll find them interesting, maybe you won't. Maybe you'll agree, maybe you won't. It's your decision.
