Nov 10

in January 2017, back when you were still a kid, I marched with a million people in Washington DC.. now I limp around the block.

I have avoided the news and been re watching The Stand, even if it is a lousy adaptation of King's work (in my opinion) it's the classic battle of good vs evil

Ain't nobody stealing my soul, especially the rotten darkman.
