105 Reasons Why...

Here is a beautiful sunset taken by one of my friends while we were on Guam...Bryan or Bryan.

I know that this has been circulating around the internet for a while, and I am sure that the dude who wrote it didn't get any credit for it. So, if you ever stumble across my humble blog, thank you for making me laugh, this is a great list.

And, it is so true. Who hasn't thought some (many) of these thoughts when they were in the middle of an ORSE, or during an all night hydro that just won't go right? I know I have.
