blacken your christmas
You know how this time of year people are like “Happy Holidays!”, “Merry Christmas!”, “Happy New Year!”?

life’s a bitch…
Life’s a bitch and then you die. Is death harder than life? We all know that life can be hard. But is dying the hardest part of life? I’m inclined to think that the act of dying is the hardest on the person doing the dying. It seems to make sense but upon more reflection,…
