All Work. No Play.
Makes me a dull boy: Every weekend of mine is planned out until March 16th. I have either Saturday change windows, Friday windows, or on March 11th a full on 14 hour session starting at midnight and going all day Sunday. Maybe the worst part is I chose this schedule

The Kills - Tape Song
Normally I don't post this frequently, but I was rocking out at work listening to Pandora. It decided to spit out one amazing song after another! I've heard this one before and wish there was a bigger Thumbs Up button that I could hit. If this
