Sometimes Life is sucking me in places where I don't want to be sucked. And I don't appreciate the hickies.

Isn't that called nibbling? Nibbling = as good as sucking. Opinion on biting: unchanged.

Reality is the moment in which you exist right now. Your past and the future are just stories you make up about those moments.

If you believe in the infinity of time and space, then other dimensions exist and somewhere, in some dimension not only CAN anything happen, it HAS to happen. yea?
