The Engagement: A Surprising Proposal

The Engagement: Finding The Perfect Ring
Secretly finding the perfect engagement ring for Nadia was no easy task. In fact, the only thing harder than finding the perfect engagement ring for her was finding the best deal on the perfect ring. Through patience and determination, I was able to do both.
20 Things I Learned From Black Dynamite
Black Dynamite is a hilarious spoof of the blaxploitation films of the 70s, as long as you don’t take it seriously. But, more than that it’ll teach you some things. Can you dig it? I can dig it. You gorilla-eatin’ jive turkeys.
