Or maybe we were the weirdos? Nah, surely not…that’s not…possible… The Black Forest in Germany is an amazing place,…

Karma is REAL.

I am a strong believer of “what goes around comes around” – as this is something which is actually tangible in everyday life. I mean…you can actually see it in practice!

How are you supposed to deal with an incoming attack?! Probably not kicking and screaming? Well…yeah sure…that actually makes sense. Listen…I know I am technically a grown man and all that kind of jazz (I’m not but the government forms tell me I am)…but cockroaches freak me out. Am I the only one? I mean…
