Queen
It started out so well... I hopped the wrong sky train. I'd left my credit card on the nightstand. I went to the wrong arena. I ran 8 city blocks faster than Donovan Bailey. I hopped on a transit bus that had a 50% chance of taking me
t's true - I have a problem. I love Cola. It's not uncommon for me to drink over 2 liters of it per day. And yes, the rumours are true - sometimes I drink it for breakfast. It's sick! As I write this, I&
