On Sunday morning, Kim Morris, and 49 others lost their lives. Kim (or KJ as her friends called her), was working as a bouncer at Pulse in Orlando, Florida. She was originally from Torrington, CT.
I knew her from Teikyo Post University in Waterbury, CT. She was a senior when I was a freshman. While I didn't know her personally, I saw her around campus a lot. She was well-liked.
My best friend knew her. My best friend said that KJ was an amazing person to know, and that she helped her acclimate to college life.
When my best friend told me that KJ was among the casualties in this massacre, I felt my heart fall into my stomach. I was angry, I was sick, I wanted to trash the f*cking room I was in. I was already heated by the massacre because this happened to a community that I am a part of, but to find out that it happened to someone I knew, that was the breaking point for me.

I'm not alone in this. Many people are having those same emotions. We are all grieving.

There is a Memorial Fund page on GoFundMe for Kim Morris. All donations will go toward funeral expenses and to help her immediate family. Please donate and help KJ's family.

Here is her GoFundMe page:


Teikyo Post University will never forget. We are a family, and this family will be praying for you and yours. KJ will be missed and forever cherished by those close to her. RIP KJ! #TPU4LIFE

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion.
