A couple of years ago, I saw a guy wearing chaps with a tank top. I wondered if he was burning up and/or didn't have a place to store them.

When I don't care about something I usually don't post about how I don't care about something....kinda like a double negative kind of thing...which means you do care about something, otherwise you wouldn't be talking about it...

So I don't care about the fact that you don't care....wait, does this mean I do care? I'm so confused...does anyone care?
