On Taking a Joke.
So the big story this week is Will Smith storming the stage to belt Chris Rock at the Oscars. I wasn’t watching it live but I woke up in the middle of the night as I usually do and I picked up my phone and turned on YouTube looking for  the latest BTS news and the site was blowing up with the uncensored tape of the ceremony.  I watched  it and couldn’t believe my eyes.

“POOR MARCH
It is the HOMELIEST month of the year. Most of it is MUD, Every Imaginable Form of MUD, and what isn't MUD in March is ugly late-season SNOW falling onto the ground in filthy muddy heaps that look like PILES of DIRTY LAUNDRY.”

“Anticipation. In love and travel, getting there is half the fun. The lustful impatience, the passionate daydreams, the nerve-wracking waiting... lovers and travelers are all alike when they find themselves on the brink of a new adventure.”
