Bad people are intriguing!
<br />
<hr>
Mixing humor and harsh reality is a very human behavior, it's the way people stay sane in their daily lives.
<br />
<hr>
I used to work at this store called Music Plus in San Clemente, California, when I was growing up, and then they became Blockbuster Music, and, like, you had to get a haircut to work there, and at the time I had some pretty long hair. So after that policy was imposed, I knew that was going to be my last summer working there.
<br />
<hr>
Life is very nice in Hawaii. I rent a place that has its own cottage so when my friends and family come to visit, they have somewhere nice to stay.
<br />
<hr>
I definitely try to mix humor into anything I do, even if it is into a drama. |
