Posted on January 24, 2013 by

My son. My son. So here lately my son has been mouthing off something awful. I know some of you are like well what’s the problem…Handle that.

Posted on September 13, 2012 by

Listen. I’m tired. By nature I am a bit of an insomniac and in a nice quiet room I can function off of 3-4 peaceful hours of sleep. Please note I said peaceful.
