Far be it from me to lecture others on best methods for success -- myself no paradigm. In my defense, though, many of us are hardest on ourselves, less critical and gracefully lenient when it comes to others -- But with self, constantly aware of every pimple, even those well hidden – I often wonder why so many of us bother to even own mirrors?

My Pet
A pet gargoyle. Has carved out eyes. Follows you around. Haunted. Jumps around throughout time and space. Yet doesn’t seem to move at all. Heavy wings. Waits for the right time. If you pat his head? He growls. But you think it’s a hallucination. There’s nothing better than a pet gargoyle. He sure is haunted. He usually keeps his...
