“It may not be a lot of fun But try and get your homework done For soon you’ll grow up and you’ll know How I told you to clean your room and make your bed Don’t be such a sleepy head Remember all the things that mama said You’re gonna fall in love one day [...]

Dear America

July 11, 2011

Dear America, It’s been a heated few years. Politics brings out the worst in all of us, myself included. And we should be ashamed.

Dream House – 5:00 Fridays

June 24, 2011

I dream of having a glorious old historic home with wide plank hardwood floors, ridiculously high ceilings, fireplaces at every turn and a massive porch bedecked with ceiling fans, rocking chairs, and wicker loveseats.
