Is a Pantone color of the year necessary? No.

With each year's announcement, I make a tribute video for my micro-influencer Instagram page (personal account) to raise awareness of this important piece of capitalism.

Two Tributes
Here I write words for two of my favorite famous figures
To Honey Boo Boo
via the alphabet
Alabama better feel blessed
Because, in the next state over, a
Child was born who would
Dare to redefine the meaning of
Elegance. She heals the earth
Flawlessly with her Southern charm. Yes indeed,
Georgia is graced with the presence of
Honey Boo Boo.
I do not know why, but I,
Jared Brockbank, the man who
Keeps the classics close to his heart,
Love Honey Boo Boo
More than almost anything else.
Now, this may seem absurd—
Of course you are entitled to your opinion—but
Perhaps if you took a moment to truly
Question what brings you
Real happiness, it may
Surprise you that many of your favorite
Things are really quite silly, too. You’re
Unique just like each person, and that is a
Valuable lesson to learn in this
World. Because even though we all have an
X chromosome, how many people are exactly like
You?
Zero.
To William Carlos Williams
As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I take a look at my icebox and realize there’s nothin’ left
‘Cause I’ve been eatin’ those plums, so sweet so cold,
That even my wife thinks I should leave the household.
Writing about Writing
Some good reads. And some good opinions (in my opinion).
Anyways... add me on Goodreads?
Honey Boo Boo Merchandise
It is my calling in life to keep Honey Boo Boo relevant. So I made some tasteful merch and opened a shop! #supportsmallbusiness
In an unfortunate turn of events, my shop was shut down and now I must operate on the black market.
