Don’t get me wrong. I love that show. Yes, the Red Wedding was gruesome and shocking. Do you have any idea how many millions of people were murdered in World War Two? Dragons raining fire and death from the sky. … Continue reading →

Posted on July 23, 2019 by pouringmyartout

Oh yeah, there is some skin that hasn’t seen the sun in a while. I have already done posts about why I have kept a mustache since I was 14-years-old. If you are curious, I suggest you do some digging, … Continue reading →
