by Claudya Martinez April 19, 2013

I’m not usually a video sharer, but today that is totally what you are getting. One video I’m sharing because it is hilarious, the other one because it makes no friggin’ sense to me. Okay, get ready for a good low-brow laugh from this “Ship My Pants” KMart commercial. You may not want to watch [...]

Plastic bead dolls

Kurt Cobain in Spray Paint Font

I saw Kurt Cobain walking down the street the other day like it was no big deal that he had committed suicide, that all those people cried when he died. He looked good. His hair was clean and he’d put on weight, but somehow seemed so much lighter on his feet. I guess he did [...]
