small secrets of minor league badass

have you ever noticed how something as small as a coat of nail polish can change your outlook on life? it's not permanent, but sometimes it's enough. no one else even has to know about it; if it makes you feel better, it's all you need. more than better... i think powerful is really the word i'm going for here. not in an "i will seduce you with my sexy fingernails" kind of way (although many try this and it works more often than you might expect); more "i like me, i'm good to me, i might just kick your ass if i feel like it." oh, don't give me that look, the world could often use a little more ass kicking and you know it. besides, it might only translate into something benign like getting a little bit extra done (also worthwhile). some things, for whatever ridiculous reason, improve the way you feel just enough to improve you... just enough. find them. tap their power. smile as you do so.
