The Side Effects Of Being Smart
As long as I can remember, my mantra in life has been Think For Yourself, Question Everything, Never Stop Learning I pride myself in living up to those words in my life. BUT But, putting these words into action sometimes has some serious side effects. These three things and an IQ test have shown me that I am smarter than most people I have encountered in life. I don’t mention being smart much on RJsCorner, since sometimes people just hate those who are smart.

Everyone Sees The World From A Different Perspective

About My Car Collection
Yesterday I told you a little about my car collection. I am so proud of the twenty-six vehicles in my stable. I promised you some pictures, so here they are. Oh, I guess I forget to tell you one little detail about my collection. :) They are 1/32 scale models sitting on the shelves behind me. I suspect you got the wrong impression of what I was talking about. It just goes to show you that even though everything I said yesterday was the truth, sometimes the truth can be stretched beyond recognition.
