But the truth of the matter is that many times I’m less [...]

The Original Star Wars Trailer

You all know I’m a Star Wars fan, right? Well, here’s another piece of Star Wars history for you. This is the original trailer they showed back in 1977 for the first Star Wars movie. Even though the movie was ahead of its time it seems the trailer fit right in for a 70’s movie.

Beauty At Second Glance

“Perhaps true beauty is something that draws our attention at the second glance, once the judgment of the first glance has realized its mistake.”

History In The Making

History In The Making

Last night was a historic night.
Regardless of who you voted for you can’t help but appreciate the significance of the events that unfolded.
