“From now on, I’ll connect the dots my own way.” - Bill Watterson, Calvin and Hobbes My name is Devan. I am 20 years old, and I am a journalism major. You can find a link to my more professional blog below. One time I rode an escalator with John Cleese. I’m not very demure or fashionable, and I’m far too much of a cynic, but I like 80’s movies and I like cats. The only coke I do is Diet. Sometimes the Midwest gets the best of me, and I just need to get out in the trees and water and air. I’d always rather be outside. Even though my bagel addiction and South Floridian roots suggest Jewish heritage, I’m not religious. I like Legos and Star Wars and Doctor Who and The Most Interesting Man In The World. I play the violin. I enjoy obscure references to classic music, literature and art. When I can’t find a Diet Coke, I drink Arnold Palmers, and I adore Cameron Frye. I wear too much black, and I read too much Shakespeare. My mom was an extra in Caddyshack. var _gaq = _gaq || []; _gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-25711398-2']); _gaq.push(['_trackPageview']); (function() { var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true; ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ?

I’ve been spinning it on repeat for about a week now, and it’s the one thing that’s been getting me through May. Something in those acoustic guitars and lilting melodies always lifts my spirits.</p> <p>This is the album that includes one of the greatest songs I know and the inspiration for my URL: Sunshine (Go Away Today).</p>http://sunshinegoawaytoday.tumblr.com/post/50831236015http://sunshinegoawaytoday.tumblr.com/post/50831236015Sun, 19 May 2013 12:00:23 -0500jonathan edwardssunshine go away today<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/86eb1e5a52ab403f0e73348f6db9c02a/tumblr_mn15w6Mf201qzqoiwo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://hadersgonnahade.tumblr.com/post/50791369630/fuck-you">hadersgonnahade</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>fuck you</p> </blockquote>http://sunshinegoawaytoday.tumblr.com/post/50791950903http://sunshinegoawaytoday.tumblr.com/post/50791950903Sun, 19 May 2013 00:39:21 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/dbf9a9609a7a2c78b16022aac3adc447/tumblr_mn156x0qoe1qd4ue8o1_500.png"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4ecc418ea0575860db1af604e84602b5/tumblr_mn156x0qoe1qd4ue8o2_500.png"/><br/> <br/><p>A proper send-off to the greatest SNL romance of all time. </p>http://sunshinegoawaytoday.tumblr.com/post/50790484678http://sunshinegoawaytoday.tumblr.com/post/50790484678Sun, 19 May 2013 00:13:00 -0500seth meyerssnlbill hadersaturday night livestefonweekend update<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9ac6caaae762587c94aa60b652c3aaf4/tumblr_mn13s9KAvR1rrozj6o1_250.gif"/><br/><br/><p>gpoy.
