EDITORS NOTE
My first encounter with a homeless person was in Washington, D.C. I was about 12 and we were walking across the Mall with my family, including my 80-year-old grandmother. A scragglylooking older gentleman wearing a patched olive green trench coat and finger gloves approached my grandmother (who was definitely the least likely to take pity on him) and asked for money. When my grandmother refused, he persisted, But Im hungry, Im hungry. Please, Im hungry. My grandmas tough exterior wilted and she gave the man some spare change. He gratefully bowed and scuttled off. Carolyn Tharps article investigates the homeless population that lives here in Lawrence and shows that these less fortunate residents still have many stories to tell. Stories that would definitely melt even my grandmas hardened heart.

SUPERFOODS:
by Melissa Byrd

BITE

HERE THEY COME TO SAVE THE DAY


Fad diets, step aside. A genuine health hero has arrived.
While the thought of a turkey in tights ridding the nutrient universe of processed eats might be laughable, the concept of superfoods is the real deal for some health experts. Steven Pratt and Kathy Matthews, authors of SuperFoods Rx: Fourteen Foods That Will Change Your Life and SuperFoods HealthStyle: Proven Strategies for Lifelong Health, are two experts who have built an entire diet around superfoods. In their books, Pratt and Matthews claim food is more than bad or good in terms of making us fat. Rather, certain foods can mean the difference between bad or good vision, sickness or health and a short or long life. We are literally eating ourselves to death, either by eating too much of the wrong things or not enough of the good things, i.e. superfoods, Pratt and Matthews say. Our wicked Western ways are sending us to an early grave. And only superfoods can save us. So what exactly is a superfood? The term superfood is a quick way to say foods that are particularly nutrient-dense and that contain vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals or other bioactive compounds that may prevent disease, improve health or promote longevity, says Beverly Clevidence, Ph.D, and research leader at the U.S. Department of Agricultures Diet and Human Performance Laboratory. Whew. In a nutshell, its a food that packs a nutritional punch. Antioxidants. Heart-healthy fats. Oodles of vitamins. These foods have it all. Different groups and authors pick their own versions of superfoods, Clevidence says, but foods most likely to wear the crown are fruits, vegetables, lean protein, low-fat dairy and whole grains (does this sound suspiciously like the food pyramid?). Turkey, walnuts, tomatoes and tea are some of the other so-called superfoods garnering attention in the diet world. All were selected by Pratt and Matthews for their ability to supposedly ward off or prevent diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, some cancers and Alzheimers disease. However, the current evidence that any particular food can prevent cancer or heart disease in humans is very weak, Clevidence says. But some scientists still see the potential in these superfoods for disease prevention, which explains the influx of superfood diets on the shelves next to last years dusty South Beach Diet books. Strong evidence exists that supports the idea that groups of people who eat a lot of fruits and vegetables are less likely to develop chronic diseases such as heart disease or cancer.

SuPerfoodS to the reScue 


The name, the nutrients, and the proposed benefits of 14 superfoods.

When it comes down to it, superfoods are the epitome of good nutrition.
Jamie Booth, Lebow senior, says tomatoes are her favorite superfood she likes to eat them whole and while she thinks superfoods are undeniably healthy, she is skeptical as to whether they prevent diseases. Joshua Ehrenfeld, Springfield, Mo. senior, cites turkey as his superfood of choice. He is unsure of the benefits as well, but says hes heard they can slow the aging process. While its probably premature to dub superfoods as the new fountain of youth or the cure for cancer, theres no doubt these foods are chock-full of nutritional value. When it comes down to it, superfoods are the epitome of good nutrition. So, really, what dietitians have been attempting to get us to eat for years is finally the diet du jour. And its all right there in your local supermarket. Just browse the produce aisle, the deli and the bakery. The bottom line is that lots of different foods are good for us but no one magical food can provide all the nutrients we need, says Ann Chapman, registered dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center. Clevidence, the USDA researcher, takes it one step further. Consuming these foods is only one aspect of a healthy lifestyle that includes exercise, weight maintenance, strong social ties, adequate sleep and a non-smoking environment, she says. Super-duper.

A guide to knowing if youre ready

Lets talk about sex


by Rachel Zupek
When it comes to sex, the first time probably not ready to have sex. In an can be the worst time if you arent ready. ideal world, wed all sit down with our Like every other first in life, theres no partners and talk about sexual histories, going back. Whether youre losing your STDs, pregnancy and protection before virginity or sleeping with a new partner, it comes down to those seconds before the decision to have sex is sex and youre awkwardly a big one. figuring out who has a But many people condom. ALTERNATIVES TO SEX dont treat it that way.

Follow these steps to be sure to 24-year-old women. Clearly, the issue youre ready to do the deed. here is birth control. Make sure somebody better yet, both of you has it. Step 1: Have the Talk Next, consider why youre having sex. Heres a test: if you cant say penis or Do you want to, or does your partner vagina in front of your partner, youre want you to? Be careful not to use sex for non-sex reasons, Dailey says. If your relationship is going in the crapper, its the wrong reason to screw, he says. Finally, think about how the other person feels. When it comes to sex, says Jason Coe, Wichita senior, guys should remember there is an automatic and deeper connection for females. Guys for some reason can just sleep with a girl and think nothing of it, Coe says. Girls just get more emotional about it and bond more with the situation. There is a grain of truth to Coes statement, Dailey says, but be cautious about generalizations. Many men are deeply emotionally invested in their relationships, Dailey says. Step 3: Timing Youve had the talk.Youve considered the positives and the negatives. Now what? The time is right when you know the weight of the relationship doesnt lie in one night, says Lauren, Wichita freshman. The person you care about is the cake sex is just the icing, Lauren says. Adam, Wichita freshman, agrees. Firsttime sex shouldnt be random because knowing your partner and having a connection is important, he says. Being ready and thinking through the options ultimately leads to a more satisfying

experience, he says. Satisfying or not, some do make the mistake of having sex before theyre ready. If youre not ready, London says, you may feel regret, frustration or heartache. She says to ask yourself how youll feel about yourself and the other person afterward. If you can honestly say youll feel good about it, and youll look forward to seeing the other person, youre probably ready, she says. If you have concerns or worries, theres no reason to rush into it. Step 4: Sex isnt everything Contrary to popular belief, it is possible to have a loving relationship without sex. Theres a long list of things people can do that are relevant, enjoyable and for a lot of people, a whole heck of a lot more satisfying than intercourse, Dailey says. Students agree. Sex is healthy in a solid relationship, though not essential, Adam says. It does build a special bond and connection between two people that other activities cant create, he says. Coe, who has been in both sexual and non-sexual relationships, says sex isnt that important to a relationship. A relationship is about the person youre with, not about what you do with them, he says. The first time you have sex is a milestone; remember, it only happens once. If you have doubts, dont do it. Sex is great dont cheat it by forcing it.

Did you know...?


Ithyphallophobia is a morbid fear of seeing, thinking about, or having an erect penis. A mans beard grows fastest when he anticipates sex. Humans and dolphins are the only species that have sex for pleasure. Sex is a beauty treatment. Scientific tests find that when women make love, they produce estrogen, which makes hair shine and skin smooth. The first couple to be shown in bed together on prime-time television was Fred and Wilma Flintstone. Source: www.area51newmexico. com

no stAbiLity: Life on the street


by Carolyn Tharp

A deep look into the society of Lawrences homeless

They start lining up in the hallway around 6:30 a.m. Sleepy-eyed but ready for breakfast, some make small talk while others sit quietly waiting for the doors to open and veteran volunteer Clark Keffer to call, Good morning and welcome to the Jubilee Caf. At 7, the crowd shuffles into the churchs dining hall. The aroma of bacon and coffee floats through the air as people find their way to tables. Regulars take their usual seats, and new guests fill the others. They come from all over the country, from Tennessee to Washington. At table 14, Louis quietly sips on his coffee and looks over the newspaper. You cant understand Howards muffled slur because hes lost most of his teeth in his old age, but it doesnt really matter because he cant hear you very well anyway. Bill keeps mostly to himself, but smiles at people as they pass. Volunteers walk around with menus to take the guests breakfast orders. Ten minutes later the kitchen echoes with shouts of servers names as orders slide across the counter, ready to go to their tables. Guests munch on biscuits and gravy and apple cinnamon pancakes, and the caf comes to life. A dull roar rises as hellos are shouted and the latest news is exchanged. Jays laugh echoes through the dining hall as he talks with his buddies about last nights rerun of In Living Color. These people eat together, sleep together and live together. Some arent very clean. Some arent very sane. They come from the Deep South and western Kansas, from small towns and inner cities, from broken homes and loving families. But they have one thing in common: they are homeless. Homeless people are often invisible, says Keffer, Lawrence resident and one of the founders of the Jubilee Caf, 946 Vermont St. Theyre given a number and food is slopped onto their plates at a soup

134 homeless individuals showed that 71 percent were men, according to the panel. Raleigh Worthington, Lawrence resident, has been homeless for a little more than a year. He remembers the exact day he became homeless: Oct.. 4, 2004. After losing his job and using up his unemployment benefits from the government, Worthington found himself on the street. He now spends his days doing laundry, reading at the public library, looking for work and dumpsterdiving. He goes around town picking up aluminum cans and other metals to recycle. Behind fraternity houses is a good place More common than you think. to look, he says.

Its a fluid getting up the next morning when community, which makes it difficult the staff wakes him up, Worthington to track how many homeless says. He says that being homeless individuals there are in Lawrence. makes him feel run-down and The City of Lawrence Practitioners uncomfortable. Panel counted 211 homeless people I feel alone a lot, he says. Youre in June 2003, a 63 percent increase surrounded by a lot of people all from 134 in December 2001.

kitchen. They sleep on a thin mat on the floor of a gymnasium with the lights partly dimmed. They wander around town with nowhere to go and nothing to do, because theres not anything or anyone out there for them, Keffer says. Although they live in the same city as students, faculty and people who work downtown, life on the street is a far cry from the suburbia that so many KU students know. For those living on the street, the life seen on TV is like make-believe, Keffer says. It seems so superficial. Its normal life to a lot of people, but its still fantasy to homeless people. Its so out there for them.

I feel alone a lot. Youre surrounded by a lot of people all the time, so youre not really lonely, but you still feel alone.

Raleigh Worthington, left, and Donald, right, cross Massachusetts Street at South Park. The two are on their way to clean out a trailer near the south side of town. Besides unemployment, many people are homeless because of mental illness. Back at Jubilee, a man clad in protective earmuffs is talking to himself and eating breakfast. A man in a dirty, down-filled coat and silent headphones stares blankly into space. Another man tells a volunteer his newest conspiracy theory about why the governor needs to be impeached. Approximately 23 percent of the single adult homeless population suffers from some form of severe and persistent mental illness, according to the National Coalition for the Homeless. A huge percentage of the chronically homeless is mentally ill, which can make it hard to have and maintain a job, Henderson says. Alcohol and drug addiction are also huge factors behind homelessness. Keffer, one of the founders of Jubilee Caf, was homeless from 1976 to 1980. The only thing he brought back from the Vietnam War, he says, was his alcoholism. He couldnt hold a job and never had any money because hed drink it all up, he recalls. In his drinking days, he would leave Lawrence when his relatives were in town. It was easier to be homeless some place else. He didnt want to embarrass his family with his alcoholism, he says. He hitchhiked from town to town, never staying anywhere more than a few days, sleeping on highway on-ramps and camping outside city limits. The longest time he ever spent in one place was a couple of weeks maybe. Keffler will never forget Dec. 18, 1978, he says, because its the day that changed his life. While driving 50 miles per hour, he slammed his motorcycle into a passing car. He wasnt wearing a helmet. And he had been drinking. Everything I knew my whole life was gone like that, Keffer says, snapping his fingers. He lived through the accident but no longer can use his left arm, which he now tightly straps in a sling across his chest. After 20 years of atrophy, the injured arm is significantly smaller than his right one. After his accident, Keffer decided to get sober. The mental, physical and spiritual bankruptcy of drinking led him to recover, he says. He joined Alcoholics Anonymous and has been sober since Feb. 17, 1983. Some of the guests Keffer serves at Jubilee are sober. Others arent. You can smell the alcohol as they enter the dining hall, still drunk from the day before. They stumble to their chairs and drink cup after cup of coffee in a vain attempt to get sober. Of the two shelters in Lawrence, LCS classifies as a wet shelter, meaning that people dont have to be sober to sleep there. LCS provides 21 sleeping spaces, but its working to add 10 more, says Henderson, LCS director. At the Salvation Army, however, the staff performs Breathalyzer tests at the door after 8 p.m. Its not a zero-tolerance shelter though, says Mathew Faulk, case manager at the Salvation Army. The shelter has a limit of .04 percent, which is equivalent to a few beers, Faulk says. The Salvation Army has a capacity of 85, and it usually holds about 50 people a night. CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 11 Trying to get off the street The most difficult thing about being homeless is getting a job, says Leighton Watts, Lawrence resident. Watts, a 23-year-old Kansas City, Kan. native, spent six months at the Salvation Army while searching for a job and a home. Most job applications require an address. Homeless people dont have one. Watts would put his Kansas City, Kan., address on job applications, and, if confronted about it, he would say he was new to town and not settled yet. Most employers want people to already be self-sufficient, Keffer says. Seeing a question for a drivers license or telephone number may not seem like a big deal, but, to homeless people, it can be discouraging. They dont have anything to fill in the blank. Worthington has worked construction, at the K-Mart distribution center and other odd jobs, but none of them were permanent. In fact, he has shuffled through so many jobs that he talks about losing work like its a regular event. He casually describes his last job, where he poured cement. He thought it was stable. But then, he adds, I guess it wasnt. After a while, you come to learn that nothing is permanent, Worthington says. But if you have a job, you can at least look down the tunnel and see the light. You may not be able to get down there yet, but you know you can continue to work and sustain yourself. Most jobs available to homeless people are short-term, pick-up jobs, Henderson says. Employers call LCS for day-job arrangements, which are mostly manual labor tasks like raking leaves, cleaning out old homes or moving and lifting. The National Coalition for the Homeless calls these types of arrangements non-standard work. Approximately 30 percent of workers in 1997 had non-standard jobs, which typically offer low wages and few community. In 1994, he helped found benefits, NCH says. For people like the Jubilee Caf as a way to give back, Worthington, there arent many other and hes been helping ever since. options. Were like a chain.

WHAT Is THe BIggesT TurNoff for A guY? ALICIA, fresHMAN


Jessica: According to my sources, the biggest turnoffs for guys are as follows: snobs, sluts, teases, bad breath, unshaven legs, mustaches, sideburns, fat rolls, overly skinny girls, lack of confidence, girls who cant hold their liquor, mouthy girls, stupidity, close-mindedness, indecisiveness, oh, and STDs or STIs?? Brian: The more involved we are with a girl, the harder it is to turn us off from her. If we just meet a girl, and find out five minutes later she has a yeast infection, well probably get the hell out of there. Give us the same information in a long-term relationship, and well try to make her as comfortable as possible, even going as far as buying her some Monistat. There is one thing that will turn off any guy, no matter how interested we are in any girl or guy: overzealousness. If the first time you meet a guy, you tell him that you are in love with him and want to marry him, well, you might as well kiss that boy goodbye. Date him a few months and start talking about kids? Next time you call his cell phone, you might get Miguels voice mail. Most guys will stick around through the random sex noises, the 3 a.m. crying spells or the drunken confessions. Talking about what our house will be like in 15 years is a sure-fire way to run off any new man.

Jessica: I dont think your boyfriend needs to know that your ex is still hung up on you. However, if youre still hung up on your ex and his calls elicit feelings and sparks from you, the new guy needs to know. Not still into your ex? Tell him to back off so you can pursue this new relationship with the new man. Hopefully, hell respect that. If he doesnt, grow a mustache. From what Ive heard, thats, like, the biggest turn-off ever. Brian: Yes, you need to tell your new boyfriend. In fact, let him take care of the guy. Next time Mr. Ex calls, let your current boyfriend answer the phone. By giving your new boyfriend this type of responsibility, itll show him that you trust him to take care of and protect you. Basically, hell feel more manly and special. (Yes, we men like to feel special and needed too!) Have him talk to Mr. Ex, explain to him that he is your new boyfriend and make sure he establishes that Mr. Ex shouldnt be calling you anymore. An ideal sentence to get this point across would include the words hacksaw, pliers and testicles. Good luck!

Freedomland
MOVIE
Youd think a film would be at least decent with such veteran and talented actors as Julianne Moore, Edie Falco and Samuel L. Jackson in the title roles. Freedomland has all three actors and still manages to be a clichd, stereotypical mess of a thriller. Advertised as a film dealing with child kidnapping and racial tension in an urban neighborhood, Freedomland

fails to deliver either. The talented Julianne Moore plays a poorly educated, mentally unstable mother. After her son is inadvertently kidnapped during a carjacking, Samuel

L. Jacksons character, a seasoned cop, steps in to help find the boy. Edie Falco plays a neighborhood mother who is the head of a missing child retrieval group. What follows is a plot ridden with too many stories to tell. The film tries, and fails, to focus on four different stories; all feel abrupt. While Freedomland has its emotionally engaging moments, mostly in Moore and Falcos scenes, the majority of the plot feels like a regurgitated, predictable Law and Order episode. One of the reasons for the films failure is in the meager script. Moore and Jacksons characters become so excessive its almost laughable. All the supporting characters are ridiculously unoriginal: the angry, abrasive white cop,

the abusive black men and the sassy black woman, whose mere presence becomes a display of racial stereotypes. Falco gives the most genuine performance and is quite moving. Moore gives her character an emotional depth that is potent at times. Jackson, despite being the main star in the film, does not impress, although he does deliver a few laughs. Freedomland has tender and painful moments of genuine emotion, but, for the most part, the film is a genuine waste of talent. South Wind 12 Rated: R, 113 minutes

Date Movie
MOVIE
A very wise character named David St. Hubbins once said, There is such a fine line between stupid and clever. I would usually agree wholeheartedly with the lead singer of Spinal Tap, but in the case of Date Movie, a Scary Movie for romantic comedies, that fine line is as wide as a river. Julia Jones (Alyson Hannigan) is an overweight waitress working at her fathers diner (My Big Fat Greek Wedding). She meets a somewhat handsome British Hansellook-alike (a la Zoolander) and, in order to catch his eye, goes to see the date doctor, Hitch (Hitch). Once she wins his heart, she must deal with sparring parents (Meet the Parents) and her fiancs conniving best friend (My Best Friends Wedding). Many other references, puns and scenes refer to the bountiful genre of romantic comedies. Others come out of nowhere, like references to Kill Bill, or are thrown in haphazardly (e.g. Napoleon Dynamite and Wedding Crashers). Most

of these jokes make you cringe, wince, roll your eyes or want to leave the theater rather than make you laugh. My only true guffaw came courtesy of Chris Harrison, host of The Bachelor, because I was shocked they actually got him to appear. But back to the fine line between stupid and clever. Date Movie shows no hint of cleverness, just plain stupidity and crassness. It prefers to beat you over the head with pop culture citations (Paris Hiltons Carls Jr. burger commercial) and ill-timed rap songs, all of which cause a disgusted shake of the head. I mistakenly had high hopes for Date Movie. I hoped it would treat pop culture satire with respect, like Shrek. I even recommended it in Jayplay Says. All I can say now is . . . Im sorry.

To: Elliott From: Portland


MUSIC
After a career spanning back to the 80s and a critically acclaimed solo career, Elliott Smith took his own life in October 2003. His music, especially his later work, predicted his tragic fate. He was best known for s t r u m m i n g , heartbreaking folk/ pop tunes and his light and airy, yet dark voice. All this was in a catchy and melodious style that told your sad story and made you feel like you were not alone, says Anthony Davis, founder of Expanded Records, which produced the album. Released more than two years posthumously, this compilation serves as a poignant and diverse eulogy. Some of the contributors lack originality in their tribute and simply imitate the sound and dynamics of the original Smith versions (The Helio Sequences Satellite, or Amelias Between the Bars). Others take a predictable route by making rockier versions (Eric Matthews Needle in the Hay, or To Live and Die in LAs Kings Crossing). Some of the more impressing covers come from folk eccentrics The D e c e m b e r i s t s with their version

THE GREATEST BY CAT POWER


Cat Power, aka Chan Marshall, has made a name for herself over the last decade with her large catalog of singer-songwriter anthems that leave listeners in awe. The Greatest is her best work to date. From beginning to end, listeners are entranced by Chans low whisper backed by a strong rhythm section and enhancing piano. In the title track, Chan and the piano are backed by a string section that adds a mysterious effect. Living Proof is one of the best tracks, with a hint of jazzy piano and an alt-country feel. With After It All and Could We, Cat Power shows her upbeat side, adding horns and background vocals to make another jazzy alt-country classic. The standout track (and my favorite) is Where Is My Love, which starts with Chans beautiful voice with and has piano crawling in and out. Its a track youll have in your head for days. On The Greatest, listeners truly find the power in Cat Power. Its memorable songs that youll play on repeat, until you feel like you really know Chan Marshall yourself.

Happily ever after... finally


The tale of a bride who never wed
by Stefanie Graves
Two months before my wedding day, my Reem Acra couture wedding gown was up for sale on E-bay and my fianc was living with another woman. The night I met him, he was sitting on the edge of a pool table, drinking a bottle of beer. When a mutual friend introduced us, I hardly took notice. We were in a crowded bar and he seemed to be the quiet, almostsilent type; you know, the kind of guy who just seamlessly blends into the background. It wasnt until a few hours later that he sat down next to me and offered to buy me a beer. We carried on with small talk for a few minutes, then he turned to me and asked, Will you go to my formal with me next weekend? Against my better judgment, I said yes. It was that weekend that I fell in love with the tall, mysterious man whom I hadnt noticed the week before. Three years later, that same man got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. On the bridge in front of the Campanile after a terrible snowstorm, he said that he loved me and asked if I would be with him forever. His nose was red from the cold and his outstretched arm was shaking. I will never forget that night. I will also never forget the evening his friend showed up unannounced on my doorstep and confessed that my fianc had been unfaithful. It was like getting punched in the stomach; I had to sit down. When we broke up, he denied ever cheating on me. But a couple of weeks later I heard that he had moved in with the other woman. What was I supposed to think? How is someone supposed to react to this kind of news? Here I was, trying to figure out what to do with a caterer, a videographer and $3,000 worth of flowers Id never get to use. And he was busy, supposedly, moving into her apartment? I spent those first few months after the breakup in a mixed state of shock and despair. I didnt sleep for three days and I lost 17 pounds in just over a week. Everything that I had held to be true wasnt true more. Although I put on a brave face every time someone asked what had happened (you never realize how many people know youre getting married until youre not), I was a mess inside. I doubted every part of my being. All the reasons why he could have

SPEAK

SCOTT KASERMAN

possibly chosen her over me went circling through my head in neverending rotation. I wasnt pretty enough for him and my hair wasnt just right. I had spent too much time concentrating on my schoolwork and hadnt said I love you enough. I didnt make him feel needed. I just wasnt enough. Then, in a chance encounter, everything changed. A mutual friend invited me to a graduation party, which quickly turned into a night of drunken happiness at a nearby bar. There I was, sitting at a table, light-headed and sipping on my third Cape Cod, when my ex and his new girlfriend walked in and approached our table. My heart jumped into my throat. I shot into the ladies room for a quick panic attack. To my horror, I returned to find the happy couple now sitting at my table. Who did they think they were? This was my night out and, up until then, I had been having a really good time. After nervously retaking my seat,

I took the opportunity to size up this new woman. She was tall, with a solid frame and dirty-blond hair. She was outgoing and talkative, like me. She sat close to him and rubbed his upper thigh with her hand. For some reason, I began to see myself in her. So, 10 excruciating minutes and another Cape Cod later, I decided to do something that surprised even me. I reached my hand across the table and introduced myself to her. We didnt magically become best friends and introducing myself didnt take away all of the hurt and resentment I still felt inside, but it was at that point when I started to heal. I proved to myself that I could stay strong through even the most difficult situation. That deep down inside I am not only a loving person, but someone with dignity and selfrespect. And hindsight is a magical thing. Its taught me some very important lessons about love and life over the past year. First, there is a perfect man

for me out there, somewhere, but my ex wasnt him. This experience has given me a better understanding of the kind of man I want to spend the rest of my life with and the kind of man that doesnt deserve a second glance. Second, the best in people comes out in the worst of times. In the last 12 months, Ive formed tighter relationships with my family and closest friends than I could have ever imagined. Ive learned that a mother sheds the most tears when her child is hurting. Ive learned that a brother will turn his back on a friendship and fraternity brother to defend his older sister. And that a best friend sometimes has to delete your exs number from her cell phone so that she cant call him to cuss him out. Third, as clich as it might sound, hindsight has taught me that there are no promises in life, and that you should never stop looking for that one, true love.
