Not Your Average “Parrot Person” Photo… Shari Mirojnick has kindly allowed me to add her to the group of people I’ve interviewed in a rather unusual fashion I call, “Finish the Sentence.” I give the subject the beginning of ten sentences and they may finish them anyway they want.

The amount of crap I went through when that Cookie video went viral was enough to make anyone heave. It was just a rough time. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I now understand why Britney Spears shaved her head. In case you hadn’t heard, I had a video on Youtube go [...]
