Everybody has a secret

Meone laying on the couch in only the company of himself, bong rips, and blasting psychedelics.

First handedly observing an individuals guilty pleasures is one of the top 10 things life has to offer. It basically proves what you had always thought you knew about a person in the most perfect and undeniable way.
One thing that I've been caught doing on a number of occasions by a number of people is sleeping. Usually heard snoring and found laying on my stomach with a mouth wide open dripping slobber. I've also been caught trying to be sneaky in various ways. I'm always trying to be sneaky especially incorporating exaggerations or completely made up things but also when it comes to valuables. At parties I sneak beers, at Whole Foods I sneak dolmas, and at any Longs or Safeway I sneak gum. Until I stop feeling completely innocent afterwards I will probably never stop. My five year old cousin Rebekah feels the same way. She's always lying and she's been caught sneaking a couple times. My entire family is shocked by her actions but I can't help but to smile slightly.

I also read in a book today that Carl Van Vechten (1880-1964), a former music critic for the New York Times described his interest in African Americans as "almost and addiction" and commissioned a caricature of himself as a black man. He affected a heterosexual identity as a married man but collected photographs of nude black men.
