"But God Told Me..." by Andrew Schwab →
For the record, as soon as you say “God told me,” I immediately stop listening to you, and you can bet a lot of other people are doing the same.

Does everyone have a crush on Ryan Adams at some...
I mean… I’m a dude and all, but still. I went through that phase.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love kitschy bands who wear period clothing and play acoustic indie folk. But today, they are just making me want to stab myself in the eye with a pen.
I’m listening to Paramore in protest.
Don’t hate. Appreciate.

I write things in other places
Since I appear to be gaining followers who don’t know me elsewhere, I figured I’d point out that I write things in other places:
My blog - I review the books I read, post monthly playlists, get irate about America’s food supply and poke around with religion and philosophy.
