Be Too Nice? Chris McDaniel OB 11/8/12 According to Dictionary.com‚ nice is an adjective and is defined as pleasing‚ agreeable‚ delightful‚ amiably‚ or pleasant.

this is a tribute to the nice guys. The nice guys that finish last‚ that never become more than friends‚ that endure hours of whining and bitching about what assholes guys are‚ while disproving the very point.
