Because $40 is far less money than $1,200. I also learned that when it comes to getting a broken lens filterContinue reading “WHY WE USE LENS FILTERS”

the one where I sing for my city.

I don’t sing unless it’s in front of a room full of very drunk people at a karaoke bar, a room full of children that I’ve birthed, or for my city and no one else is around to sing for me.

I got a 32 on my ACT but that’s not the point.

(For those of you who are not from Indy, could care less about social media and/or the Super Bowl, please bear with me, I plan to get very philosophical towards the end.) Through a very convoluted process, 46 people in Indiana were invited to be a part of a group to help promote the SuperContinue reading “I got a 32 on my ACT but that’s not the point.”

story pictures. story words.

Don’t try to figure out what other people want to hear from you; figure out what you have to say.
