Don’t Be Frightened … Again

Got to see one of my favorite bands again last night.

Friday Funnies

I’ve recently gotten the wife hooked on one of the best shows ever made, The Wire. I watched it on my own because I wasn’t sure she’d be into since she consumes more than her fair share of Real Housewives and other shite that the networks churn out. But I promised her if she didn’t […]
