(I have to admit though, Adam Sandler’s Lunch Lady skit [...]

you better never let it go… Sing it with me now! So to avoid any real work today, I was sorting laundry and naturally singing eminem songs, ’cause, like DUH! He get’s you pumped! I started singing the chorus to Lose Yourself with bloggy references and then this came out of me. Some of it [...]
