Most people have a lot of baggage in their lives....unpleasantness that they carry with them and let cloud the here and now happiness that they could be experiencing.

I had a blast last weekend! No I did't attend a rave or even catch a cool flick at the theatre. I wore a T-shirt and I caused a stir. :) I decided to wear my new BYOB shirt from Reusablebags.com.
