WINTER IS COMING
My title is solely named after the fourth drink in my flight at the brewery. No Game of Thrones spoilers here for those who may be brought here by the shameless tag that I will plug on WordPress. I’m really just trying to figure out why I am feeling this alcohol the way that I…

I was hoping to find the Bruno Mars album that I had hidden behind 6 copies of Adele’s 25 on my last visit

Whats your plan for 2017? Here’s a plan: Don’t talk about it, just do it. It’s cool to post about what you have planned and/or what you got going on, but I’m here to tell you that you look like a bozo declaring to a bunch of people what’s for you all just to fall…
