Congrats to the Pack!
And here’s a fun fact to accompany their Superbowl victory:
The “G” on the Packers’ helmets does not stand for “Green Bay” as you’d expect. It stands for “Greatness.”
What a stealthy brag!
Just in time for the year of the RABBIT!
Alright, ladies and gents, it has finally happened. I’ve procured one of those magic phones of the “i” variety, and now that I’ve got me a Tumblr app to match, the blogging rabbit is back in action.

Excerpts from an AWESOME Graduation Speech
I wanted to share some excepts from a speech that Justin Hudson performed at his Hunter College High School graduation this year. Hunter College High School is a public school for the gifted — it becomes quickly clear that this young thinker certainly is.
I feel guilty because I don’t deserve any of this. And neither do any of you. We received an outstanding education at no charge based...
