Am I the only one who didn't love Sinners?
Morrissey is now my favorite touring artist because I don't really want to go to concerts anyway.
A millions reasons to be pissed, among them: my short-lived NY resolution to consume less news. That fucker ruins everything.
I've been called a pessimist before and expect I'll be called one again, but damn... look at the country, world, and universe where I live.
