They live on in the stories we tell. Keep this story going and they shall never die!

I’m paying to force seven thousand strangers to see a photo of my late husband having fun with his dog. Tumblr Blaze is totally worth it. XD

After my first listen through the so much (for) stardust album, I was telling my husband how amazing it is. Several hours later I hear him singing it. HE WENT AND LISTENED TO IT ON HIS OWN AND NOW HE LOVES IT TOO. I knew I married a good one.

In the late '80s Nintendo released a slew of official Legend of Zelda Valentine's cards.

Since Valentine's Day is this Tuesday we thought we would give them to you 😘

Being in my parents house feels like standing in an abandoned house. Except you recognize 95% of the stuff in it. You recognize the decor, the wallpaper even the stain on the carpet. Everything has sentimental value at the same time feeling like complete junk. Time has made it feel foreign. The house looks shiny in memory but what I see before me is in disrepair and the home of squirrels, mice and dust. I never realized how much my parents acted as a compass for me. As a teen and into my 20s I prided my self with not relying on my parents. Now that’s all I want to do. However, two urns on your dresser aren’t reliable for anything except for reminding you of their contents.

"I was at the Grammies sitting behind Chuck D and across from Elvis Costello when I began writing Infinity on High. As I sat there in my Sunday best (I splurged on an Italian maroon ascot) watching Stevie Wonder and Alicia Keys duet a capella, I decided in a room full of innovators that on our two previous albums, I had contributed nothing to pop music.

My saying so is in no way meant as a slight to our indie debut Take This To Your Grave, a strong if derivative pop-punk album from a young band yet uninterested in finding itself. I have slightly less positive things to say of its successor, the exponentially more successful but creatively inconsistent From Under the Cork Tree, for which we were nominated that night.

It dawned on me that, were we to win, we wouldn’t have deserved it. We rightfully lost. I rode back to my hotel, ripped the ascot out of my collar, walked across the street, ate dinner alone, and wondered to myself what would have to change in order for me to feel more comfortable with accolades.

Fear. I was afraid of being who I was musically. Pete was always honest and brave lyrically. Joe and Andy were in their playing as well. But I was timid and hid behind convention as well as re-imaginings of other people’s innovations.

I went back to my hotel and began simply writing without fear of how our audience or critics would react. When we ultimately recorded, I sang how I did at home for myself, not in the way I had learned to sing “punk rock.”

While I won’t say Infinity on High was our best Album, I will say it was a watershed for me creatively. Zero Grammy nominations though."

I work in online pickup and delivery for Walmart. In one of our channels for tracking orders, we can see photos provided to show proof of delivery. This one put a smile on my face the rest of the day. https://www.instagram.com/p/Ckw0N_hj1jD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
