    I love the blackest night,
    the blinding brightest sun,
    but this navy grey day sky,
    this mating of black and white,
    is like a stone over my mind,
    it leaves me feeling like a bad f**k.

    I don’t know and didn’t want to know. Truthfully, that’s one section where I just copy the links and don’t read the articles if I can possibly avoid it.
