The following poem was originally penned by Marine Corporal James M Schmidt while stationed at Marine Barracks, Washington, DC.
They say that the two worst things to discuss with friends are religion and politics. Well, I'm officially screwed.
Anyone who really knows me can attest that music is, and always has been, a considerable part of my life.
I don't care what anyone says, kitten therapy is a thing. Had the worst migraine for two days. Took every pain killer I had, nothing helped. Two minutes with the cat, and I felt 100% better.
Believe it or not, this is a question that more and more Americans have difficulty answering.
