Brock Lesnar frightened the hell out of me last nite.
THE CALLS

A trend that keeps bothering me is that I will call someone, they wont answer, but they will text me minutes later with “Hey whats going on?!” As if they have no problem talking to me but want to stay hidden behind the veil of their text messages. I reply to each one with “Call me back”.

Happy tax day everyone. Today’s entries are the complete polar opposite of each other. One features an artist who is following his heart and created a beautiful piece of work but cant figure out how to get anyone to check it out, while the other seemed to care far more about social media numbers than actually telling me anything meaningful about his.
