(ALMOST) Random (MIDNIGHT) Movie Mention: “UNKNOWN” (2011)

UNKNOWN (2011)

UNKNOWN

…Stars MY MAIN MAN Himself…

LIAM NEESON

๐Ÿ˜€ย ย ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ˜€ย ย ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ˜€

…And Stars…

AIDAN QUINN

JANUARY JONES

DIANE KRUGER

&

FRANK Skeletor LANGELLA

๐Ÿ˜€ย ย ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ˜€

It’s Also Produced By “Mr. UBER PRODUCER“…

JOEL SILVER

๐Ÿ˜€

Alright, My Peeps…

…Check-It-Out…

LIAM NEESON

Is

Dr. MARTIN HARRIS

…He Thinks?

But, Is He Really?

Well…

…We Really DON’T KNOW.

((wink wink))

You See, Shortly Into The Flick, He’s In A Car Crash.

He Hit His Head Hard.

He’s Now In The Hospital.

And, He’s Just Awakened From A Four (4) Day Coma.

He’s In Berlin.

He Doesn’t Speak German.

He Has No Official Identification.

He Might Know Some People, But We’re Not Really Sure.

He Just Remembers That He’s Dr. MARTIN HARRIS And That His Wife ((played by JANUARY JONES)) Doesn’t Know Where He Is, Nor What Has Happened.

He Then Remembers She Should Be At The Hotel They Were Originally Going To Stay In, And He’s Got To Go Find Her.

BUT…

…When He Does Get To The Hotel, And He Does Find His Supposed Wife…

…SHE DOESN’T CLAIM TO KNOW HIM AT ALL.

And Now Another Man ((played by AIDAN QUINN)) Shows-Up And Says That HE’s ActuallyDr. MARTIN HARRIS!!!

W.T.F.

?!?!?!?!?!?

And NOW The Flick Really REALLY Begins!!!

๐Ÿ˜€ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ˜€ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ˜€ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ˜€

UNKNOWN

…Is Really A MUCH BETTER Flick Than A Lot Of Folks May Have Told You.

It Just Had The Bad Luck Of Coming Out After LIAM NEESON‘s Surprise Mega-Hit-Flick…

TAKEN

๐Ÿ˜ฆ

UNKNOWN

…Is Fun.

It’s Exciting.

It’s Suspenseful.

It’s Clever.

It Was Good Enough For Me To Wanna Buy It, My Peeps.

I’d Say That’s PLENTY Good.

๐Ÿ˜‰

Some People Told Me “UNKNOWN” Was Slow In Too Many Places, Which Ultimately Hurt The Overall Presentation.

To Those People, I Simply Say…

YOURE IMPATIENT!”

Dammit.

I Thought This Was A Classically Paced Thriller.

I Could EASILY See ALFRED HITCHCOCK Directing Something Like This.

HITCHCOCK Loved The Whole Idea Of The MISTAKEN IDENTITY Caper.

I Think He Would Have Relished In Directing This Flick.

Or, At Least, A Flick Like It.

I’m NOT Saying “UNKNOWN” Is The Greatest Flick Ever, My Peeps.

I AM Saying “UNKNOWN” Is A Lot Better Than You May Realize.

It’s Also Got MORE DEPTH And A THICKER PLOT Than People Gave It Credit For.

It’s Got MORE DEPTH And A THICKER PLOT Than “TAKEN” Had.

And That Is A FACT.

Period Period.

If You Haven’t Seen “UNKNOWN” Yet, Give It A Go, Kids.

If You’ve Seen It Once, And Didn’t Bother Going Another Round…

…Please…

…Do Yourself The Favor Of Checking-It-Out AGAIN.

It’ll Only Cost You 113-Minutes Of Your Life.

A Drop In The Bucket, Ya Know?!

๐Ÿ˜‰

๐Ÿ˜€ย ย ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ˜€

So... Are YOU Jivin Me -questionmark-

Thinking Aloud: Post-HALLOWEEN-Edition: “Ever Since My Trip To CHICAGO…

…I’ve Been Drawn-To, And Excited-By, The Film “THE GREY” Starring LIAM NEESON.”

I’ve Been Fixated Upon-It, Actually.

http://youjivinmeturkey.com/2012/10/31/once-more-into-the-fray-into-the-last-good-fight-ill-ever-know/

SEE !!!

I TOLD YA SO !!!

I’m SURE You’ve Noticed, But…

…I Really Just Can’t Help Myself.

The First Time I Saw It, I Liked It.

But, I Convinced Myself I Didn’t Like It So Much.

And Then I Watched-It A Second Time.

I Knew I Couldn’t Convince Myself To Dislike It Any Longer, So I Just Let The Greatness Of It Wash Over Me.

Then I Saw It A Third Time.

Then A Fourth.

I Just Can’t Help Myself.

To Me, It’s Like It Was After The First Time I Saw “KRULL” !!!

I Wanted To Watch It Again, And Again, AND AGAIN !!!

I Was The Same Way With A Few Other Choice-Flicks.

I Remember Doing It When “TOMBSTONE” Came Out.

I Remember Doing It When “LEON: THE PROFESSIONAL“…

(…AKA “THE PROFESSIONAL…)

…1ST Came Out.

I Remember Doing It When “ARMY OF DARKNESS” Came Out.

There Are Other Examples, But Needless To Say It Happens To Me At Times.

THE GREY

…Is…

…MY…

…Latest, Personal Craze.

To ME…

THE GREY

…Is Now…

…SPECIAL.

So Special, In-Fact, That I Can’t Stop Thinking About It.

It’s Directly Related To Having Received It AND Had My Second Viewing Of It While In The Second City Itself…

CHICAGO

!!!

The Film Makes Me Think…

…And Reflect…

…And Think Whilst I Reflect.

THE GREY

…Is Now…

…MY NEW FAVORITE REMINDER !!!

๐Ÿ˜€

A Reminder Of Being In The Company Of Those I Missed Most.

A Reminder That Some Things DO Deserve A Second Chance.

A Reminder To Think How I DO Think, Not How I SHOULD Think, Or FORCE MYSELF To Think.

And…

…Of Course…

…That I LOVE ME Some LIAM NEESON !!!

Period.

That Really Sums It All Up.

Does That Work For You ???

It Sure As Hell Works For Me !!!

(Not So) Random (At All) Movie Mention: Joe Carnahan’s “THE GREY” (2011) Starring LIAM NEESON! ! !

THE GREY

(2011)

…Is Much More Than Just An Action/Drama/Horror Flick.

It’s So SO Much More.

It IS A Work Of Adrenaline-Pumping ACTON.

It IS A Work Of Wrenching, Heart-Felt DRAMA.

It IS A Work Of HORROR And TERROR.

BUT…

…It’s ALSO A Wonderful Work Of ART.

Period.

Y’all Already Know I’m A Huge Fanboy Of…

LIAM NEESON

…And This Flick Takes That Fact And Cements It Even More So Than It Was Before.

I Still Consider LIAM NEESON To Be One Of The Most Underrated Actors Of The Past 30 Years…

…And I Sincerely Feel…

THE GREY

…To Be A Totally Underrated Flick.

Period Period.

NEESON Is “OTTWAY

…A Dark, Brooding, Loner Of A Character.

He Suffers Deeply Over The Loss Of His Wife…

…And Is, Therefore, Supremely Depressed.

So Depressed Is He, That He’s Suicidal.

He Simply Can’t Do It.

He Can’t Pull The Trigger…

…Neither Figuratively, Nor Literally.

He Has All But Given-Up On Life…

…And He Can Barely Find The Will To Carry On.

SUDDENLY…

…Following A Jet-Plane Crash In The Wind And Snow Swept Alaskan Wilderness…

…He (“OTTWAY“) Is Thrust Into The Position Of Life Saver For AND Leader Of A Small Group Of Oil-Drilling Roughnecks.

BUT…

…The Crash Isn’t The Worst Of It All.

The Survivors Are Now Being Stalked/Hunted By A Pack Of Large WOLVES, Thirsty For Blood.

It Quickly Becomes A Life & Death Situation For The Few Remaining Men…

…A Situation Where None Are Likely To Survive!

*** ***

YES, My Peeps, I’m A Convert Within The Realm That Is…

THE GREY

Period Period Period.

It May Be Action Packed AND Brutal…

…But It’s Also Poetic, Thought-Provoking, AND Beautiful.

The Film’s Writer AND Director…

JOE CARNAHAN

…Has Written An Amazing Story…

…Both Simple AND Complex…

…And Has Directed It With Style AND Care.

The Landscapes Are Gorgeously, Amazingly Shot…

…Adding To The Visual Splendor Of The Flick…

…Along With Adding Deep Deep Feelings Of EXTREME ISOLATION!

Feelings That Only Make The Story Become Even BETTER!

You Know What, My Peeps…

…After Having Watched…

THE GREY

…For The Third Time, I’m Convinced The Ending Of The Film Is Much MUCH More Thought Provoking AND Honest Than I’d Originally Given It Credit For.

In Fact…

…The End Of The Flick Is The Biggest Reason WHY I’m Calling It “Art Flick”…

…As It Leaves You To Ponder The Possibilities…

…And Yet, You’re (ALMOST) Sure You Know How The Story Will Play Out.

You’re (ALMOST) Sure Of What The Final Outcome Would Likely Be.

But You Don’t Know…

…And Ya Know What, My Peeps…

…That’s Perfectly Acceptable To Me.

This Is A Flick That Totally Deserves To Be Seen…

…But Seen More Than Just Once.

One Viewing Simply Isn’t Enough To Totally Appreciate What Has Been Experienced.

I LOVE…

THE GREY

…And Can Now Count It Among My Fave-Faves From…

LIAM NEESON

๐Ÿ™‚ย ย ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ˜€ย ย ย ย ย ย  ๐Ÿ™‚

PLEASE, My Peeps…

…PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE…

…Give This Flick A Second Chance.

If You Enjoy It, Great.

If You’re Unsure, Or Even Disliked It, A Second Chance Is At Least Deserved.

Even ME…

…I’ve Previously Admitted To Being Unsure If I Liked It After Having Seen It For The First Time.

But The Second Time It Was Better…

…And The Third Time I Was Sold.

I’m Happy With Myself For Having Given…

THE GREY

…Another Chance To Impress Me…

…And It Did That Very Thing.

ENJOY, My Peeps…

…ENJOY, INDEED!!!

An Amazing Song You’ve Never Heard Nor Heard Of: “BALL And CHAIN” by TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND (2011)

Thought I Was Bound

To Get Away

Now I’m Just Bound

I Don’t Mind

When The Hurricane

Comes Around

… … …

… … …

I’m So Lucky

My Pride And Joy

Is My

BALL And CHAIN

And They’re One And The Same. …

… … …

… … … … …

… … …

The Simplicity Of This Song Is Apparent…

…But The Lyrics Say A Lot.

They’re Pretty Simple As Well…

…But That Doesn’t Change How This Song Comes Across To Me.

Sometimes…

…We Find Brilliance In The Simplicity Of Things.

This Entire Album…

REVELATOR

by TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

…Is Chock-Full Of Brilliance.

Sometimes…

…One Is Able To Connect With Something In The Most Profound Ways.

That’s What Happened To ME, In Regard To This Album.

I Connected With It.

So Many Quality Songs.

It Makes Me Sad To Think There Are So So Many People Whom Haven’t Even Heard Of This Band, Let Alone This Album.

It’s With Songs Like This One…

BALL And CHAIN

…That The Truth Behind The Wonder Of Simplicity Becomes So So Apparent.

You Don’t Have To Say A Lot In Order To Say Something Amazing…

…Or Wonderful…

…Or Brilliant.

That’s A Philosophy I Can Totally Agree With.

I Do Get A Little Long-Winded At Times (as my family and friends continue reminding me) But It’s Only Because I Have So Much Information I Wish To Convey To Others.

So I Get Wrapped-Up In What I’m Talking About, Instead Of Making A Clear Point.

Here…

…Now…

…I Don’t Feel I’m Being Long-Winded.

I Just Wanted To Impress A Point.

Sometimes…

LESS Really Is MORE.

And That’s Something I Can Appreciate…

…And Respect.

Have I Made My Point?

I Dunno.

Maybe.

Y’all Will Just Have To Let Me Know.

*** *** *** *** *** *** ***

*** *** *** ***

***

WELL, WELL

by BETH HART and JOE BONAMASSA

…Is An Exceptional Little Tune That Always Has The Power To Get Me Up And Movin’.

It’s Got An Infectious Beat/Pace/Rhythm That Simple Screams…

"GET UP AND DO SOMETHING, SHEESH MAN, SHEESH!!"

And I Do Just That.

I Get Motivated.

I Get Up.

I Get It Crankin’.

I Do My Best To Function Properly.

I’ve Already Decided To Make This Song, Yet Again, The First Song Of The Day When I Head-Out On My Walk.

I’m Waitin’ On The Walkin’, At The Moment.

It’s A Touch Brisk Outside…

…And There’s A Fairly Strong Breeze.

So I’m Gonna Chill ‘Till About 10AM Before Givin’ The Walkin’ A Goin’.

๐Ÿ˜€

WELL, WELL

…Is A Finely Crafted Song…

…And It Ranks As My Favorite Track From Either…

BETH HART

…Or…

JOE BONAMASSA

Period.

Granted, They’ve Both Had A-MA-ZING Solo Careers…

…But This Collaboration Album Is Totally The Bee’s Knees, My Peeps.

I Enjoy It Highly…

…And I Think You, Also, Would Enjoy The Album…

DON’T EXPLAIN

…A Heaping Bundle.

Come On, Kiddies.

Give It The Ole College Try, Okie Dokie?!

COOLIO!!!

I Just KNEW You’d All See It My Way!

That’s Likely Why You Continue To Grace Me With Your Presence And Friendship.

I’ve Got Yer Back, Kids…

…And I’ve Got My Finger On The Pulse Of What’s Up.

This Album…

DON’T EXPLAIN

…And More So This Song…

WELL, WELL

…Are Definitely Made To Get That Pulse Racing…

…The Blood Pumping…

…The Toe Tapping…

…Etc…

…Etc…

…And So On And So Forth.

Like I Said…

…Give It A Go, Please.

THEN…

…Report Back To Me And Let Me Know What You Think.

Chances Are…

…Your Favorite Songs Will Be…

WELL, WELL

…And The Second Fave Will Likely Be…

I’D RATHER GO BLIND

…Which Is My Other Favorite Song On Said Album.

In Fact…

I’D RATHER GO BLIND

…Is Honestly One Of The Most Beautifully Amazing Songs You’re Likely Ever To Hear…

…And It’s THE BEST Song On The Album.

It’s SOULFUL.

PERIOD.

It’s Just Not A Walkin’ Song.

It’s More Of A…

"Wow, I Feel Like I Need A Stiff-Drink With This Song."

Wonderful.

Simply Wonderful.

BUT…

WELL, WELL

…Is Still My Favorite…

…AND…

…It’s The MOST Fun.

๐Ÿ˜€

Enjoy Your Day, My Peeps.

I’m Trying Myย Damnedest To Do That Very Thing.

A Nice Walk Shortly And I’ll Be Right As Rain, I Reckon.

At Least, I Hope So.

๐Ÿ˜‰

“THE DRIVER” (1978) Is Superior To “DRIVE” (2011). Period.

Alright, My Peeps…

…How Many Of Y’all Honestly Knew This Flick…

THE DRIVER

…Even Existed?!

One.

Two.

Three.

Hmm.

Not Too Many Of Y’all.

M’Kay.

That’s What I Figured.

So I’m Guessing It (likely) Doesn’t Shock You That The Same Flick Was Made 30+ Years Prior To The 2011 Fan-Fave…

…Only Made BETTER?!

Well…

…Ya Know…

…That’s Why I’m Here.

I’m Here To Educate, My Peeps.

๐Ÿ˜€

THE DRIVER

…Stars…

RYAN O’NEAL

(in the best on-screen role of his career, without question)

…As…

THE DRIVER

…And…

BRUCE DERN

(in one of his best roles, also)

…As…

THE DETECTIVE

…AND…

…It Was Written And Directed By…

WALTER HILL

๐Ÿ˜€

Now, I’ll Be Blunt, My Peeps…

…We Are Talkin’…

…BALLZ To Da WALLZ…

…HIGH-OCTANE…

…SUPER-DUPER-FAST…

…WHITE-KNUCKLE…

…ACTION-ACTION-ACTION.

Period.

You Think You’ve Seen Amazing Car-Chases?!

You Haven’t Seen Anything, My Peeps!!

THE DRIVER

…Makes…

DRIVE

…Look Like…

…Well…

DRIVE

…Only…

THE DRIVER

…Is BETTER!!!

๐Ÿ˜‰

THE DRIVER

…Is…

AMAZINGLY AWESOME AWESOME!!!

๐Ÿ˜€

I Love A Good Crime-Drama…

…Especially 1970s Crime-Dramas…

…And…

THE DRIVER

…Is One Of The Very VERY Best!!!

Tough.

Gritty.

Relentless.

It’s A Helluva Fun Flick All The Way Around!

So What’s Gonna Happen?

Will “THE DRIVER” Make His Getaway?!

…Or…

Will “THE DETECTIVE” Nab His Criminal?!

I’m Afraid You’re Just Going To Have To Watch And See, My Peeps!!

What I Will Tell You Is This…

…Either Way It Goes…

…You’ll Have Plenty Of Fun Finding Out!!!

Fo SHO, My Peeps!!!

Fo SHO, INDEED!!!

I’d Tell You More…

…I Mean…

…I’d Like To…

…But I’m Trying To Watch It As We Speak!!!

Guess You Could Say I Needed A Quick Pick-Me-Up…

…Ya Know…

…A Regular Jolt Of Energy.

THE DRIVER

…Does Exactly That!!!

I’ll Holla At Y’all More After It’s Over.

Of That, You Can Feel Assured.

The Song Stuck In My Head: “MILES TO GO” by ALISON KRAUSS & UNION STATION (2011)

…If I Had A Chance…

…I Must’ve Missed It Long Ago…

…If I Could Run Away…

…I Wouldn’t Have To Let You Go…

…This Angel’s Bound To Stray…

MILES TO GO Is A Wonderfully Beautiful Song By ALISON KRAUSS & UNION STATION From Their 2011 AlbumPAPER AIRPLANE

…Like An Hourglass…

…I’m A Soul To Sinkin’ Sand…

…You Try To Hold My Heart…

…And I Will Slip Right Through Your Hands…

…Time Just Blows Away…

Alison Krauss

…And The Petals Start To Fade…

…By The Picket Fences…

…Just Another Shade Of Miles And Miles To Go…

…And The Tears Forever Flow. …

<<<(((*)))>>>

<<((*))>>

<(*)>

\/

Hey Hey, My Peeps…

…How Hangs Thy Collective Hammer?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Same Here.

So I Had This Song…

MILES TO GO

by ALISON KRAUSS & UNION STATION

…On My Mind Last Night.

As It Turned-Out…

…I Was Honestly Tooooo Tired To Do Anything About It.

BUT…

…I Did Have The Ole Trusty MP3Player Standing By…

…Simply Waiting Around For Me To Wake-Up And Do What I Knew I Needed To Be Doing.

Sadly…

…It Was Yet ANOTHER Early Morning For Yours Truly.

It Was Well After Midnight When I Finally Went Down For The Count…

…And Just After 3AM When My Sorry Arse Awoke.

I Know, Right.

These Nights/Mornings Are Really Starting To Pile Up, Again.

I Was Doing Really Well There For A Bit.

I Was Getting To Bed At A Decent Hour…

…And Getting Up Feeling Refreshed And Alert.

But…

…No More.

Alas, Since I Wasn’t Sleepin’…

…I Felt The Need To Just Crawl Out Of My Comfortable Bed…

…And Start Working For Y’all.

Now…

…I Must Say…

…I Still Don’t Consider Myself A TRUE Fan Of Country OR Bluegrass Music.

Most Of It…

…In My Humble Opinion…

…Is Simply God-Awful.

BUT…

…I Sincerely Could Listen Toย ALISON KRAUSSย All Day And Then Some.

I Love Her Voice…

…But…

…More-So…

…I Love To Hear Her Play That Fiddle.

MILES TO GO

…Is A Personal Favorite From The Album…

PAPER AIRPLANE

…As It Sports Quality Lyrics…

…And A Catchy…

…Infectious Pace AND Rhythm.

It’s A Song I Listen To…

…Honestly…

…When I Want To Be In A Better Mood.

I Know.

I Know.

The Lyrics Don’t Suggest A Happy Song.

Regardless Of That…

…It Still Has The Ability To Perk Me Up.

Thus Far…

…Shocking As It May Be…

…Things Are Getting A Little Easier On Me.

At Least…

…For Now.

So…

…As I Sit Here Typing This…

…I Have This Particular Song Playing On Repeat.

I’ve Been In The Mood For It…

…And I’m Getting My Fill Of It.

At Least…

…For Now.

MILES TO GO

…Is…

…What I Would Call A Hybrid Song.

Yes, I’d Call It Bluegrass.

Yes, I’d Call It Country.

BUT…

…I’d Also Call It A Damn Fine Blues Number…

…With A Touch Of Pop.

It’s WONDERFUL Morning Music.

Trust Me Here, Kiddies…

…It’s A Regular Toe-Tapper If I’ve Ever Heard One.

And I Have.

Trust Me There, Also.

๐Ÿ˜‰

I Sincerely Hope Y’all Have A Very Fine Day.

The Weather Is Supposed To Be Very Nice This Morning…

…So I’m Already Gearing-Up For A Lovely Walk-About.

I Shall Catch Y’all On The Proverbial Flip-Side.

Okie The Dokie?!

COOLIO!!

This Is One Instance Where I Know Exactly Why A Song Has Stuck With Me.

Trust Me…

…After The Weekend I Had…

…Well…

…Let Me Just Say…

"THANK YOU FOR SHOWING UP, MONDAY! THIS PAST WEEKEND SUCKED ASS!"

Soak It Up, My Peeps.

This May Be The Only Chance You’ll Ever Get To Hear Someone Being Thankful For A Monday.

But This Past Weekend Was Simply Terrible.

Sadly…

…It’s Not Something I’m Totally Prepared To Discuss.

I’ll Put It To You This Way…

…You Know How People Say…

“When One Door Closes, Another Door Opens”

???

Okay…

…In My Instance…

…One Door Is Still Open A Touch Of A Tad…

…And The Other Doors Are All Freakin’ Locked.

Why Must Relationships…

…Of Any Type/Form…

…Be So Damned Difficult…

…So Damned Stressful…

…So Damned Gut-Wrenching???

It’s A Long…

…Dusty…

…Rocky…

…Shin-Splint-Inducing Road…

…And Said Road Leads Right Back To ME.

I’m Terrible With People.

Always Have Been.

So I Sincerely Should Have Expected This.

(*Begins To Massage Right Temple Because Of Flaring Headache*)

I’ve Had A Bad Headache AND A Bad Stomachache For FOUR (4) Days, Now.

The Headache Woke My Ass Up At 3AM’ish This Morning…

…And I Know EXACTLY Why I Have The Damned Thing.

Perhaps In The Coming Days/Weeks I’ll Be Able To Tell You More.

But I’m Holding Off On Doing So Until AFTER I Find Out If The Before Mentioned Door Is Going To Slam Shut, Or Blow Back Open.

It’s All Up In The Air Right Now…

…And…

…Until Then…

…I Expect The Headache AND Stomachache To Both Continue.

Sheesh, I Tell You.

Sheesh, Indeed.

๐Ÿ˜

I’m Unsure How Much More Relevant A Song Could Be At This Moment…

…But This Song…

LEARN HOW TO LOVE

by TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

…Is EXCEPTIONALLY Relevant, My Peeps.

The Odd Part…

…To Me…

…Is That Out Of 700 Songs On My MP3Player…

…This One Was The First To Play This Morning.

Trust Me, Kiddies, When You Hear This Song…

…At 3AM’ish…

…After The Weekend I Had…

…You’d Be Left In A State Of Wonder, Also.

TEDESCHI TRUCKS BAND

…Is One Of My FAVES Of FAVES…

…As Their Music Has The Ability To Bore Deeply Into A Person And Make Said Person EXCEPTIONALLY Contemplative.

My Brain Has Been In Overdrive Since Hearing This Little Number.

I’m Unsure How To React To It All…

…And I Think My Body Is Simply Suffering From A Combo Of Grief AND Fatigue.

Perhaps I Should Rethink The Decision To Listen To Blues Music, Today?

I’m Unsure If I’m Doing More Harm Than Good.

I Will Say I’ve Been A Touch More Emotional.

That’s Both VERY GOOD And HORRIDLY HORRID.

Such Is Life, Eh?!

Yeah.

Such Is Life.

๐Ÿ˜
