I’ll be honest: I have a love/hate relationship with my name. Okay it’s not my name so much as people’s reactions to it (wait til you hear my birthday!). via GIPHY “Tina. Is that your full name?” “Tina. Is that short for something?” Yes. Yes, it is. In school, I always wondered that if Tina …
Ahh good ole April Fool’s Day. To prank or not to prank, that is the question. Not. <- That is the answer. So for this Music Monday, I decided to go with funny songs (maybe parodies). Here are some of my faves: Weird Al Yankovic – “Word Crimes” I’m not a fan of the song …
