There are always men out there who are willing to try anything to make a living, and Famous Hamish is no exception. So why not book your next vacation to a little known Hawaiian paradise hideaway. We hear it all the time, people getting tired of the same old grass […]
I just finished watching Les Miserables. Something struck me from the lyrics to the song, “I dreamed a dream” which ended with, ” Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.” This last week I came to the realization that it is not life itself that kills the dreams of […]
