If. I have heard that word all my life. If. If. If.

As I was driving home from class Thursday evening I was greeted with an oldie but a goodie: “Father of Mine” by Everclear. I started singing to my hearts content, belting out the words in an off-tune manner only I can do. And then it me. I have not heard this song in years and […]
