CP is a struggle, but it's also been quite the tool for me to find success and deliver a message. It's something about me that's unique, so it'll open a few doors as well as keep a few closed.

The waiter just flashed me something that said, Chew bubblegum. Every morning, when I was about to go to the Oprah competition, my friend used to say this line in a video game to me: It's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum.
