I’m talkin about the classics. I love that spine chilling outlaw shit with lyrics about scary ghost cowboys, sleeping in a boxcar on a moving train, prison blues, repenting for your sins, and being heartbroken. From albums like The Louvin Brothers’ “Satan Is Real” (1959), to Johnny Cash's “Live At Folsom Prison” (1968), to Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” (1982), I can’t get enough!

So comfy. Feels like being under a warm blanket and reading a fun book about legends and stories of the old west, heroes and horses. The albums John Wesley Harding through Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid.
Favorite songs: The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest, Tonight I’ll Be Staying Here With You, Days of ‘49, If Not For You (George Harrison also did a great version of this!)

If you have ever been to a swimming hole with a rope swing and ran around lifting up rocks to look for snakes you must be living an epic and also awesome life. If you haven't, try it sometime :-D

Whether it be an article of clothing or an object, I wanna know I'm getting my money's worth.

The Yellow Deli is a restaurant chain owned and run by the religious group called the twelve tribes. The original location was opened in 1973 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but they are all around the world (there are a few in upstate New York). The interior and exterior of the buildings are straight out of the shire from Lord of the rings. If you can picture Bilbo Baggins’ house-that's pretty much what they look like. They say that they serve “the fruit of the spirit”, which is all made from scratch and grown on their own farms. Their Country ranch sandwich and veggie burger will buss your head right off. They also have insano waffles. It’s my death bed meal forsure.
