Please take a moment of silence to remember 9/11.

LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL THAT DEATH HAS BECOME JEALOUS. Has someone hurt you? Have you hurt someone? <--That just sounded like an "Appear on the Maury Show" advert. My bad!

But in all seriousness -- let today be a day to break the chains. You are not an immortal vampire from Twilight (dream on tweens!) — life is short. Never hesitate in letting those around you know how you feel. It may be your last chance to say I love you or I forgive you or I’m sorry I screwed up. Every breath is a tiny gift from God. Don’t take it for granted. <--I mean it!

To all the servicemen & firemen who protect each and every one of us daily: THANK YOU.

Now check out a song I've had on repeat for close to a year now. It's a gorgeously stripped pop song with a heart the size of the Big Apple. Watch the video to HOME by Ian Axel (an up & coming singer/songwriter from New York) below.
