I. hate. technology. and I’m 100 percent positive it hates me. Sometimes I can’t wrap my head around how I even managed to start this blog, and, to this day, and every day that it has been alive, I am one step closer to a having a heart attack. No joke. Computers give me hemorrhoids. […]

So apparently my literal worst nightmare has actually come to life here in the beautiful city of St. Louis. Clowning. Scary “Clowning”. The movie “It” in real life form.

There should be a world record for sprouting a good 50 gray hairs and 2 forehead wrinkles in under 48 hours.
