Hey kids, I always throw up a picture or vid with my posts but something’s broke- it’s either wordpress or my brain- so I’m currently trying to fix that shit. And by “fix that shit” I mean having a noontime cocktail while staring at the screen and wondering why it’s being like that.

Be back soon. For now, please use your imagination- the picture I was going to use was the one of Obama and his fine self walking out of the ocean in Hawaii, dripping wet and..damn, I’ll stop here.
