Ferguson- biggest news story of the year. 

I read the book and i really liked it. And when i found out there was gonna be a movie i was really excited but the book was still about 10x's better. 

favorite song

Bleachers song "I wanna get better."
Its catchy it will get you pumped and excited.
Its also a great song to start the year. 

Places like these are what i dream of. Clear blue waters on a boat with all my friends. So this picture really caught my eye. If i could live anywhere it would be in a place like this.

At first i though this was just all photoshop but then i read the caption and that really surprised me. 

The story behind this picture is a powerful one, very sad, but very true.
