I’m more of the 13 year old boy trapped in a 40 year old woman’s body when it comes to small talk. The bread and butter of my sense of humor is my unapologetic love of dick and fart jokes and I’m not afraid to admit it.

The Number One Hollywood Trick We All See
No matter what movie you press play on, there is one thing that these movies have in common, which is a wet ground on a sunny day, during a high chase scene or a fight scene amongst your favorite superheroes' everyone notices but skips that part when being engulfed in a scene.
