Today, I had to explain to my friend that the world did not used to be black and white. It was just the pictures that were. She still doesn't believe me. She's eighteen. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, my friend sent me a weird selfie in black and white. I sent one back, and she said I looked like an 80s porn star. It was funny, but then three of my friends had the same reaction. I didn't even look good in the picture. FML

Even when I was very young and looking at my parents' old photographs, I knew it was just the pics that were black and white and not the world. I did however, have a hard time imagining my parents were once children themselves when I was little.

These are the type of people that we will have running the country. It's sad that these people breath air and take up space,what a waist. We used to have places we put people like that. Now everyone has "there rights". It's stupid people like this that rune life for the hard working people that care. It's sad that society has let stupid lazy people choke off the productivity of the willing and able. Now all we got are the not willing and don't want to.
