Locust tornadoes, crosses, and Nazi halos

Good morning everyone! When I say morning, I don't mean "normal person" morning, I mean 7:48 a.m on a Friday morning which happens to be a PA day for myself. This particular Friday, though, is like no other. This Friday signifies the birth off... well, me. I know it doesn't sound as exciting as the lead-in but, trust me, I am excited behind belief. So, I thought, for my birthday post, instead of trying to appeal to the readers of this blog, which I constantly try to do, I'm going to just appeal to myself. So, enjoy this selfish and self-deprecation-free post, but if you don't, I don't give a shit anyways.

Happy Birthday, Mr.President

Good morning everyone! The reason I say good morning is because it is nine in the morning. Why, you ask, am I posting at nine in the morning, when I could very well be... sleeping? The reason is, it's almost time for my biannual church appearance. Now, that's out of the way, it is a very special day today. My sisters birthday.

Today, 16 years ago in the middle of a winter storm, a child was born who, one day, would have the pleasure of being my sibling. As a bonus, on Friday the 21st 15 years ago, a child was born who, one day, would have the pleasure of being my best friend.

This is a special post dedicated to both of them, as they will each have one of their favorite songs posted, so that you may have a chance to delve deep into the minds of these wonderful woman.

Natasha

The Road In Between - Ron Leary

Tessa

Delicate- Damien Rice

AND

as a bonus, a Smiths song, to demonstrate how some of us are going to be feeling this Easter.
