Not the geese. I hate geese.), Teacher (middle school - Holy Hell! Not proficient.), Professor, Store Manager. In most casual conversation, this is what ...

EDITED: I shouldn't talk about my patrons this way. They are all wonderful people, and if I didn't love them or want to do what I do for them, I wouldn't be in this business. My problems as a store owner are mine alone, as well as the decision to succeed or fail.

[COLOR=#222222][FONT=Times New Roman]I came here and was so excited about the opportunity to write a blog that I wrote one. Now I'm dedicated. Since my first blog wasn't an introduction, allow me to introduce me. I am Martyr. I am a Christian. I allow music to motivate my moods. I have always been smitten by Sandra Bullock, even though I find her last name unattractive. My favorite board game is chess. My favorite video game is Final Fantasy. My favorite color is green.
