I wanted to take a moment and thank you for a great year at alwaysrisealways! It makes me happy to say that last year I received as many views as all previous years combined. I am hoping the content continues to be worthy of your time and consideration. Thanks, Chris
My life used to be defined by music. I lived for it, strived to be better, rose and fell on how well I did. I was accepted as a musician and when I became rejected I saw no relevance to my life. Now, I pull my guitar from its case every other day or so […]
A short and to the point post here. 30% of all internet traffic is related to pornography. More than Netflix, Hulu and Amazon combined.
