simple men thinking
Amazing, really, to think of what a man could achieve with the simple ability to put pen to paper and spin a decent yarn.
kids messages different
I would like for this moment to be for that kid out there who feels like she doesn't fit in anywhere. You do. Stay weird. Stay different, and then when it's your turn and you are standing on this stage please pass the same message along.

I like historical things; I like researching things.
