The sentences that started a legend.
Commerce on the Internet has come to rely almost exclusively on financial institutions serving as trusted third parties to process electronic payments.

All I want for Christmas and the New Year is, the extended Darren list version.
Some stability on my olympic lifts. Is that too much to ask for? Nike, why are Romaleos sold out everywhere??
A love seat futon. Man, that thing last night was comfy.
A vintage suitcase collection. Okay so I’m easily impressionable ,and this was also a product of last night. In my defense, I’ve wanted to collect vintage suit cases for at least 4 years.
A vibram 5 fingers collection in multiple colors and varieties. Perhaps, even colors that will not make my feet look like a frog.
A new knife, specifically the Izula in OD green.
An organized room. Working on it.
To find my ring mandrel. FOUND IT. REJOICE.
A clean, fixed bike.
A 4th leg for my salvaged chair.
A refined coffee palate.
No allergies.
Competition-ready shape & condition.
A really good paleo cheesecake.
A supper club.
A lot to grow heirloom vegetables in.
And some tacos.
Oh, also to watch Django Unchained. Preemptively scratching the last two off my list.

They are beautiful naturally, because they are young. So they should even wear simple jeans and a T-shirt. It’s enough. Don’t be too much fashionable.…The brand advertising is making you crazy. You don’t need to be too sexy. You are sexy enough.
