I could never be a politician. Other than the fact that I can’t stand politicians and would never want my name associated with the likes of the men and women who run for office, I’m a flip flopper. I constantly change my mind on how I feel about different things. I love the fact that I’m not scrutinized for every decision I make or every word I say. Sure, I might get a few comments on some of the topics [...]

However, with my video games being in a centralized location in my home, those boundaries do not necessarily need to be pushed when small children are running around. I take pride in being very conscious of what games I play when I’m around the young and impressionable. So much so that, when the kids [...]
