Today, I am sending out love to my Hokie Nation and to the people of Boston.

…But the vast majority stands against that darkness and, like white blood cells attacking a virus, they dilute and weaken and eventually wash away the evil doers and, more importantly, the damage they wreak. This is beyond religion or creed or nation. We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We’d have eaten ourselves alive long ago.

So when you spot violence, or bigotry, or intolerance or fear or just garden-variety misogyny, hatred or ignorance, just look it in the eye and think, “The good outnumber you, and we always will.” –Patton Oswalt

For as long as I can remember, it’s been my dream job to open my own store.  Today, I am so excited to announce that after many months of hard work, my online store, Poppy, is now open for business.  Be sure to check us out online, follow us on twitter and like us on facebook.

Here are just a few photos of what you can expect to find in the store!
