Let’s talk about Miley Cyrus’ performance at the VMA’s, shall we? . . . Actually, how about we don’t? First, that’s old news.

First day of senior year – facing the crowd
That was yesterday. I don’t know why schools have arbitrarily decided to throw their students back into school on random weekdays, but hey, why fight it?

The English Teacher
Wanting to give depth to the concept of vocabulary, he explains the etymology behind every word; laconic doesn’t just mean succinct, the inhabitants of Laconia, Greece were known to speak tersely. Cashmere is not only a soft, luxurious fabric, but also a quality export of the Indian Kashmir. Old enough to be my grandpa,Continue reading “The English Teacher”
I Love Sharing My Favorite Music
One of the greatest little things in life that – in my opinion – is very often overlooked is the aspect of sharing my love of music with others.
