i got to spend 30 minutes in the doctors waiting room last week and they had a pop playlist running. i rarely listen to (any) music these days and spend my time in public with earplugs jammed in my ears.

i have to face-off with my dad today and i am keeping this in my back pocket.
holy shit. i can believe you actually made that make sense. well done.
i found myself laughing at your story. sorry, it’s not you… just to hear that they seem so inept and useless.
