This person will self destruct in 3…… 2…… Stress has a funny way of affecting the human body.  Some People get ulcers, some develop a twitch, others get high blood pressure.  If you’re really lucky, you get more than one. If you’re me you get all three.  That’s right, I’m that...

This past weekend I went to see the movie Green Zone with a couple of friends. Heading to the film, I was halfway expecting another Bourne flick: espionage, gun fights, assets and marks.
