I seek solace myself in the overwhelming numbness of the beat, the bass. I am pushed to extremes and my mind races. I see old solutions in new places. Try and find … More Saturday Night At The Club

How that heck have you managed to avoid ever getting your hair done?!!?!’ I mean, I’ve had haircuts certainly. And I even had my … More I Got My Hair done For The First Time!!!
