What's good ppl? Nothing much here, same shit, different pot! So today, some of my coworkers and I met today about a weight loss challenge they want to do. Sounds pretty good; $10 a week for 7 weeks and thus far, there are 7 ppl who want to participate. That $840 for the winner.. nice turnover. However, you know there are always ppl who have a problem with the rules? WHY? Some pple just always have to be defiant! Isnt that a miserable life. I would think so. Why do you have to challenge everything. I mean it is a competition afterall. If you win, you win, if you dont, you dont!! There it is!!


By the way, Happy Founders Day to the brothers of PHI BETA SIGMA FRATERNITY, INC.
