During the torturous ordeal that lead to … Continue reading Why do men cry?
Whether we finish top of the league or in second place, it will be far more than anyone had predicted last summer. To be here in April with five games to go, thinking there is still a chance we could win the league is beyond unbelievable. We have been here several times before in the last 19 years. We will do well to remember the … Continue reading What’s Next for Arsenal
Having lived in London for the past three years, I have become accustomed to narrow streets, small cars, and tiny flats. Millions use public transport for work around the clock.

Juxtapose that to Missouri, mid-west America, where you have wide, open country. Huge, … Continue reading Missouri in the Summer

Outside of such circles it is almost embarrassing to announce that you’re a virgin and, worse that you are waiting to get married before having sex.
