Update since the last post… This is a pathetic topic, but these are so random, it’d be tough to make up. There’s probably more, but these are the ones I can think of. Jesus, I feel like a 12-year-old girl for […]
Here are the songs that randomly played on my iPod during a 2+ hour lawn mowing session at my home: Tea For One – Led Zeppelin Memory Loss – Radio Dept. Mary Jane’s Last Dance – Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers Little Fluffy Clouds – The Orb New […]
The most difficult part of Navy basic training was being separated from my family. Shocking revelation, I know. Your world gets turned upside down in so many ways when you embark on a stint in the military. Life, as you know it, ceases to exist and is replaced […]
