I AM PERFECT!

Well, not me, but that's kind of what Justin Timberlake said. He was asked recently in an interview what about his body he didn't like and his response was "nothing really, I am proportionate." Now is that considered cocky or confident? If someone is very happy with their physical looks, if you ask them, is it ok for them to answer that they love their looks? My opinion is that if they go around saying it without anyone asking them, that is annoying and arrogant. However, if someone asks you, and you are truly that happy with your looks, I don't see a problem with it. What do you think?

LOOK AT MY NEW TATTOO!

So. your 14 year old kid comes home and says "Mom and Dad, I want a tattoo." They're a straight A student, stay out of trouble, help around the house, an overall great kid. And your answer is? I say, no way! You're 14, when you're 18, maybe. At this age is could be peer pressure and you could regret it in a few years.

I AM THE MAN

Does it make me less manly that I love to shop? Well, my buddy called me yesterday and had to make sure I wasn't on speaker phone to tell me that Old Navy was having a 40% off sale on men's apparel. In case you didn't know, Old Navy is my weakness. I could shop for hours and hours in there and not get tired of it. No other store makes me want to shop, just Old Navy. So, not only is it my favorite store, but there's also a sale! Manly -vs- Girls, you tell me?
