waste of words expressive: July 2009
http://noisysmile.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html

Mintz,. 1985, 1986 ). June 14, 2010.

How many layers of personality and personae are we made of? Life is theatre: keep stage and audience in mind wherever possible. Life is a movie: there are things like flexibility, lighting, presentation and various effects to consider. Choices. Options. Actions. Posted by Erik Donald France. December 16, 2011.
