And I sure as heck do not care that that one girl I met in college who friend requested me 5 minutes after we introduced ourselves is “going to work…then having a grilled chicken salad for lunch YUM! xoxo”. Maybe this seems rude, but I don’t expect them to care about what I’m doing every second of the day either!

Martin Luther King: “I Have a Dream”

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Today is the 25th anniversary of our nation’s commemoration of Rev. Martin Luther King’s birthday. To celebrate, here is the text of Rev. King’s infamous, “I Have a Dream” speech, delivered from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. on August 28th, 1963. I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
