Quote of the Day © BrummetMedia.ca "My skin is kind of sort of brownish Pinkish yellowish white. My eyes are greyish blueish green, But I’m told they look orange in the night. My hair is reddish blondish brown, But it’s silver when it’s wet. And all the colors I am inside Have not been invented yet." ~ Shel Silverstein, "Colors" ~~ Visit the Brummet's @:  http://BrummetMedia.ca ~~
