Sometimes, a hug is all what we need. Free hugs is a real life controversial story of Juan Mann, a man whose sole mission was to reach out and hug a stranger to brighten up their lives. In this age of social disconnectivity and lack of human contact, the effects of the Free Hugs campaign became phenomenal. As this symbol of human hope spread across the city, police and officials ordered the Free Hugs campaign BANNED. What we then witness is the true spirit of humanity come together in what can only be described as awe inspiring. In the Spirit of the free hugs campaign, pass this to your friends and HUG A STRANGER! If you can reach just one person..... Music by Sick Puppies.

Work Day Theory

I sit here relishing the Monday morning soreness after a weekend of stripping wallpaper and suppressing a grin every time the scabs over my knuckles crack and bleed again. It seems that those walls j...
