Why humanity should strive to be a photosynthetic species.
My Grandfather lied about his age.
He was born December of 1939, not August of 1936.
This was done so he could join the military earlier (one of the few ways an nDn from the rez could earn a reliable income) than otherwise.
He was born out of wedlock.
He had his first kid when he was 18.
His last at 25.
If he were alive, he would have turned 70 this month.
So Happy Birthday.

I could sadly only name 50 countries, wow I feel very cultured
104 bitch! I can name like 15 countries in Africa. I’m convinced the rest of them don’t exist in real life :(

The day a WET (white entertainment network) exists, we can talk about privledge. As it stands, if I or any other “white” person gets an award or is represented by an “all white” organization it is seen as racism/segragation in this country.
I must say that a White Entertainment Network would be the poorest excuse for entertainment...

I’ll say it now: beer is gross. Gin? Also pretty gross. Tequila? Tastes like 11th grade bush parties. (F&B can reblog and insert a “bush” joke here.) Whiskey is for suckers. Bourbon is occasionally okay.
But vodka is the best kind of alcohol there is.
Cheap beer is the nastiest substance on Earth. We’ve covered...

It used to be, when I lived on the East Coast, that once Thanksgiving was over, you couldn’t escape Christmas. Every radio station played exclusively— or at least every third song— the Christmas “classics.”
Here in Minnesota, it is December 13, and I have yet to hear one Christmas song on the radio. I listen to a variety of stations, including the oldies...

End result. Must move at the end of the month, and hope to Jebus my soon to be ex roommate doesn’t destroy all of my shit beforehand.
I may be on here less for a while.
