I place $20 in a box.
So do you.
Now the box contains $40, and we both know it.
I sell the box to you for $30.

Question
I’m trying to create a custom Tumblr theme by hacking apart another one but I’ve hit a huge roadblock.
If you’re really good with this sort of thing and you’d be willing to look at what I’m doing in order to point out what keeps making this one part do one thing when I actually want it to do this other thing over here, I’d be super appreciative. Hit me up in...

He sings about life where I grew up in Northeastern PA (technically, he’s singing about Wilkes-Barre—I’m from Hazleton—but close enough) and the guy manages to articulate both the sadness and the inspiration that I’ve always felt there. He is funding the vinyl pressing of his album...
