still don’t understand why things turn out this way

cryin’ n’ drivin’

That’s the name of the country band Dave and I are going to start, we just decided. Today is going to be a damn long day. After 5.5 hours of sleep. we got up at 6am to go out and paint the cannon. For those of you who don’t go to Guelph, this needs an […]
