Crap. I’m Growing Man Boobs!
McDonalds: its been real, its been fun, but I think we need to see other people. I “lightly” pulled a muscle in my chest today while averting a fall due to not watching where I was going. A little while ago, I was rubbing the sore spot and noticed something I had not noticed before [...]
