right now? I'm not strong enough weight lifting wise, trying to bench 200 pounds. I'm almost there, at 180.
I have a the job I want but at a crappy company. I'm not getting the experience I need so I can leave and find a better one.
I have a very short attention span and a don't have much patience.

I'm so close, but eBay is only giving me your feedbacks (with userid's blocked). I'll work on it.

I got your phone number but, at least I think it's your phone number. But I guess you wouldn't tell me if I called you... :(

organize fighting or just beating people down in the street? If it's organized than I'm sure there's some classes you can take at a community college. Or maybe there's a gym around town that does boxing matches.

If you're talking about just fighting some random guy at your school grow up.

Yes, when I bought a iPod mini, remote, and iTrip (er... wait I used a $25 off coupon).
um... do groceries count?

Yes

I buy groceries for myself, no more than $25 a week. So yes, I have paid retail. I bow down to you, you want me to rub your ear lobes? ;)

Touch my ear lobes and you'll regret it.

E-thuggin hardcore!

try fighting them with one hand tied behind your back... your good hand. And fight then two at a time.. that should get you better.

Females with larger swellings begin breeding at a younger age, and breed more frequently. They also have more offspring, a higher proportion of which survive.

Males compete with each other more fiercely to mate with large-bottomed females, incurring more injuries in the process -- suggesting that the best females are trying to attract the best males.
