Letter from Birmingham Jail

Third paragraph from the end-
Never before have I written so long a letter. I'm afraid it is much too long to take your precious time. I can assure you that it would have been much shorter if I had been writing from a comfortable desk, but what else can one do when he is alone in a narrow jail cell, other than write long letters, think long thoughts and pray long prayers?
I LOVE IT.
I appreciate all the sarcasm

Also I haven't posted on this blog in forever and I'm pretty sure it's dying because twitter is way more interesting and also because my thoughts usually fit into 140 char. But for quotes like this, I'm still resorting to this blog.

We'll see what the future holds for this blog.

Listening to history songs be like

"Margaret Thatcher became the first black president of the USA-aaaa-aaaaa" 
~overheard younger brother singing as he worked on school

Sorry kid, I think you got your facts *slightly* mixed up there....

Hee I was dying in the kitchen eating food while listening to him singing that line over and over again trying not to laugh.

Key:
Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan fought communism together
Nelson Mandela became the first black president
the president of the USA part came from the US president song
