i definitely thought his name was like pilates. i feel ya.

i'm actually sorta backwards from it, which i think is even more uncommon. my folks raised my sister and i basically atheist. we never went to church and my folks didn't really call themselves atheists, but they were sure as shit non-believers. my mom went to rehab and sobered up 6 years ago, and my dad started going…

i sure hope so

i want to be really happy about that, but we all know how good congress is at getting shit done lately, especially now with a republican majority.
