Mindless Filler

Dudes. I’ve painted myself into a corner with this blog. This week has been book ended by terribly tragic news and it affects my ability to stay light and superficial and shit.

Losing a good friend and having a tremendous three month long allergic reaction to a goose down feather bed which I couldn’t figure out.
