4 years ago today I retook the ACT at Valley High School as a 24 year old for getting last in my fantasy football league. I am a lot of things, but a coward (or a man who is not true to his word) is not one of them

Someone decided to pull a funny prank on me this April fools. I’ve got a lot of people inquiring with me about purchasing alpaca llamas. I can’t find any ads on Craigslist so I think I’m screwed. 3 voicemails and 27 texts in the last 20 minutes
