If This is Your First Night at Fight Club…
I am Jack’s un-read blog. I needed a day of skepticism. A day of total cynicism. I needed a down day. Well actually, what I needed was an up day, a day of total success and accomplishment and reward. But those things have been slow in coming. But that hasn’t deterred me from my goal. … Continue reading If This is Your First Night at Fight Club…
