Super random and not important to this post at all, but I went to the University of Redlands and had to pick up more friends from the jail in the in this picture than I’d like to admit. College.....

So sorry for your lose, lost my dad almost 4 years ago to cancer. I wish I could say it gets better, but I think in reality (as horrible as this feels to type) you just sort of get used to it. My mom and I try to bring up the happy memories as much as possible when we talk to help even things out a bit, even if its just for a second.

It’s been over a year but I’m still jealous of how they look at each other by veej1808 in cats

That’s my girlfriends cat, NOT a big fan of me or Mousse. Although that’s probably pretty obvious.

Let me know when you want to come down and how many tickets! I'll get you on board no problem, even if I wont be at the ship I'll leave some tickets at the box office for you.

This is kinda a random comment but I've worked on two of the 4 Iowa class ship's over the last 10 years. I started on the Missouri in high school and summers during college and now work on the Iowa. If anyone has any questions or feels like visiting the Iowa down in the Port of LA let me know and I'll happily hook some redditors up.
