If I reach my $5,000 charity goal for the NYC Marathon by the end of the month, I’m putting that on my resume and on LinkedIn.
I'm $1,166 away from meeting my goal! Let's see if I can pull it off with just 8 days to go. Help me get there:

How do you approach a stranger you're romantically interested in - It’s not that I don’t think she’s talented. It’s not that I don’t like her. It’s the fact that she doesn’t like me or probably anyone in that video lolLook… If you don’t like her, then you don’t like her. But don’t tell me she can’t sing. I mean, c’mon.
