The Tyrant’s New Year’s Resolutions!
Hello, eager readers, and happy merry holidaytime. In honor of the upcoming new year, many of us will make resolutions to lose weight and go to the gym and spend more time with our families and all kinds of other crap that we won’t actually bother with. So I’ve come up with a collection of…
