  • A little can be too much

    What is the word I would use? Narcissistic might be too strong of a word but accurate, self-indulgent? Definitely. I don't think he realizes that

    People don't generally hang on to every tweet or tumbl or whatever that he does.

    That said this guy has gold when he is partnered up with someone else.
