The fantasy gives you the courage to feel things.

Masculine ideals have become very confused in the modern world.

My pappy told me never to bet my bladder against a brewery or get into an argument with people who buy ink by the barrel.

My wife and I have created our own language. We can be at a table with six other people and have an argument without anyone knowing. It doesn't even have to be out loud. It's bizarre.
