Welp, I'm not happy and I'm not okay. So, I thought I would post a blog with sad gifs and memes just because I can. Say it like it is: For those who have trouble expressing their emotions: A job you hate can cause depression and apathy. When you need... Continue Reading →
This is when I really started liking the Marvel movies. Thor is my favorite Avenger. This was directed by Kenneth Branagh, and it is a superior movie.

It's even been completed. But, you just haven't gotten around to reading that finale yet. Here are some of mine. ... Continue Reading →

We all have them. The book all your friends raved about for weeks. The one that everyone seemed to love and everywhere you turned, there was another four or five star review. Did you read the same book? What were all these people thinking? How could they possibly have liked it that much? So, this... Continue Reading →
