World Cup Deals at Pisco and FREE Pizza at Palio D’Asti
So here’s the thing. See that picture at the top? That’s me driving a tractor. I’m currently at my girlfriend’s family’s farm in upstate NY and I’m pretty much trying to be as unplugged as possible. It’s really a lovely feeling and totally needed. I’ve even had a garbage plate

Who Needs College? Get Educated on the Cheap in Brooklyn
We’ve all got something we wish we knew more about. No one is perfect, after all; in fact, most of us are deeply flawed human beings who have no idea what we’re talking about. It’s fine to admit it. I’ll even go first! I do not have a college degree
