It's Exactly What It Sounds Like
I wanna start this post off with a big hefty HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

It's been a year since a very good friend of mine decided he'd had enough, and that year has been a long, weird time. It's strange - he left us on February 29th, so I wasn't sure which day was really the anniversary of his loss. In the end it didn't matter, since the entire … Continue reading In Memoriam
