Change Will Come, You Just Have to CARE First
Hole is putting out a new album. Flannel is back in style. It seems that we’ve begun to rotate out of the 1908′s revival in culture and are moving into the 1990′s again. Oh, but only in the whole “fashion and music” thing. The political activism? That’s just stupid.

Tea parties, political prisoners, chocolate, and Obama to Beijing
It’s been a week of more ‘small’ things. But pennies are small, and they make dollars.
Humility, amongst other thoughts…
Humility and selling don’t always go hand in hand. I know, totally strange sentence to start a blog with, but it was what came to mind after Monday’s occurrences.
