Today’s post, dear readers is all about keeping track of your scrapbook in a digital age, or as I like to call it… Everything you wanted to know about Pinterest, but didn’t know you wanted to know, in a thousand words or less.

I kind of hated dating when I was a younger buck. Mostly because of all the hormones, the uncertainty of identity, and dealing with the scores of other impressionable youth who were in the same boat as I. It was messy and unclear, but giving myself and others roles made it easier to navigate, and…
Bad content abounds. Man, does it ever. The funny thing about bad content is that sometimes people enjoy it even more than good content. Actually, maybe amusement is a better way of looking at it. People are amused by some obviously horrible things. Filmdom is riff with examples of this too though, it’s not just…
I cannot believe that we’ve already gone through half of 2016, dear readers, so much has happened and so much has changed. I feel like Jay-Z in Change Clothes. You know I stay fresh to death, I’m gonna bring art through the mess of pop culture and to the top of the internet. So lets…
