I built a Birthday Playlist last year!
Added more songs to i! These are my latest inspiraitons and just fun playlist!
Enjoy.
The plugin that was used to have a gallery view for the artwork, broke. Ironically, it works perfectly fine on the main blog, just not the archive.
There are days I really despise wordpress.
What does this mean? I found a new gallery plugin that works.
What does that mean? It means it’s taking time to update all the art galleries.
Overall what does that mean? Basically the art pages are a bit screwy right now. Some of the art pages have new galleries! Though some have images aren’t quite fitting yet. While, some are working perfectly. And a lot others still need to be converted.
So please be patient as I work to get these galleries fixed.
Kiernan was barely ten years old when he first heard St. Patrick’s teachings. It was then he decided this was his calling. He was educated by St. Patrick as they travelled through Ireland, spreading the Lord’s Word.
In a small town, the citizens weren’t interested in what St. Patrick was saying and had attacked them. Andrew had stepped into the battle to protect his mentor, only to be mortally wounded. St. Patrick had called upon a friend, Arthur Pendragon, who was nearby, for help. Andrew was told of the world of Vampires and agreed to be Turned, seeing it as a way to keep spreading God’s Word.
How is it going?
I’m not discussing my own issues, eyes Bob who’s on vacation.

Born to John and Mary Winchester in Lawrence, Kansas. When Sam was six months old, Balthazar entered his nursery and killed his mother Mary Winchester. John placed Sammy into his brother’s arms and told him to run.
Raised on the road being taken care of mainly by his brother Dean Winchester, they were trained to hunt Vampires, never staying in one place. Sam hated the life they lived and wanted to stay in one school, have friends, live a normal life. Always strong-willed and stubborn like his father John, Sam fought their lifestyle through his teenage years, finally giving up and leaving for college.
Four years later Dean showed up on Sam’s doorstep with news: their dad had gone missing. After following a few leads and finding nothing, Sam went back to Stanford, only to discover that Balthazar had come back into their lives, killing his girlfriend, Jessica. Swearing to hunt the man down, Sam set out again on the hunt with Dean.
Balthazar soon found them. Dean handed his life over to save Sam’s. Determined to save his brother, Sam found himself at Cal Sci University searching for the blueprints to Balthazar’s penthouse, and ran into Charles Eppes who urged him to find Nicolaus Valerius Meridius in New Orleans.
Driving straight from Los Angeles to New Orleans, he barged into the Manor seeking help and refuge.
Nick and Gaius Cassius Longinus agreed to help and returned to Los Angeles to confront Balthazar. In the ensuing battle, Sam was stabbed by Cassie Robinsonand mortally wounded; he consented to be Turned.
