To be honest, this does not surprise me one bit. It is almost like a cat and mouse game from both ends. Celebrities trying to be and chase youth and perfection and the rest of mankind is trying to chase after celebrities, whom they, too, this is perfect.

People would spend thousands of dollars and hours to critique everything about themselves. I guess money doesn't by happiness. It buys counterfeits.

Dustin showed that there will be times that there will be more than one idea. You’re not going to achi

Stranger Things Movie Poster

When asked to pick a favorite movie poster, I instantly thought of Stranger things. I love the color scheme of the movie and the time setting. The dark colors just mesh together in a complementing way. The eye draws to a missing friend due to the lights on the bikes pointed in that direction. The poster is just balanced.
