Hi Chris! Well funny you should ask.  Shitty actually! lol, I don't know why I'm having so much bad luck, then last night I went to the gas station to get a few things and noticed I had a flat tire! thankfully I found it there at the gas station! So I'm thinkin' my weekend was a little cursed!  But today was a great day.  Nice weather and nice day.  I even had a black cloud page following me on twitter lol.  So go figure.  Where there is a storm a calm always follows they say.  I hope you have a great week!

I’m not sure how to say this without it sounding like another one of those advertisements that get put on your page, but here it goes. I want to thank you for being a friend, fan and supporter of me and everything I do. Now it’s time to repay you the favor. The Shifted2u TV Show just went global by launching, Shifted2u.com. I’d love for you to be part of the celebration, stop by the site, swing by my page and show me your Shifted Swagg!

Beautiful again, the "Happiness" song. That's the advantage, i don't have to ask how you're doing, if i read your break-up story and listen to your music, i just know you have surveived and, to use the cliche, it only made u stronger. I'm very happy to know one of my dearest friends is going strong. I was too busy for some weeks but now everything's more quiet. Let's update soon, Big Kiss, Saskia
