Many people don’t know this about me but I am a gifted reader of Tarot Cards. I have to admit that my powers of prophecy make me a little nervous and so I rarely use them, but I thought that today I would make an exception and do a special reading on account of the…

I suppose that since I’m married now, my attitude toward the world around me has changed a little bit. There just seems to be a little less reason to interact with it, a little less reason to look for potential within people. I mean, I’m taken now, so what’s the point? That’s right, there is…
