This is not me delving into physics. I suppose it could be. I don’t do math, but I have heard rumor when you collide things to blow things up, you just find energy. That feels like a non-sequitur. What did you think would happen?
Keeping it Real
Did anyone ever tell you to do this? What does this even mean? So, maybe I flirted with someone, they shoot it down with keep it real. My expression of interest was real? Can subtly hinting I like you and want to know more be any more real?
