Till death do us part
Bullshit. Marriage doesn’t end with death. Love doesn’t die with their last breath. Vowing to love, respect, and honor someone only when they are alive is almost as bad as signing a prenup. Real love lasts forever. Death did us part but our marriage doesn’t end until we say so.

Feedback Request - first draft
If everything happens for a reason, then what the hell could be the reason for this? I ask myself staring back at eight fully armed cops decked out in full tactical gear as they yelled at me, guns drawn, to both not move and raise my hands to the air.

Nevermind
Multi-platinum album that introduced Kurt Cobain, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic to the world. Beyond the overhyped Smells Like Teen Spirit is an album full of hard, raw grunge classics with crisp, slick production from Butch Vig. In Utero and Bleach are arguably better, but Nevermind was a defining moment.
