by Ian Warner 02.04.2010

Do vitamins really make a difference?
I ask myself that same question every morning and night when I pop them in my mouth as if I’m eating skittles….

by Justyn Warner 01.27.2010

While you’re just cruising at the speed limit on the main streets (40mph or 60km/h), enjoying a nice day out…you notice a tall, dark skinned man pull up beside your vehicle and block your sun light.
