I'll give credit where it's due.
I was just exposed to "Thrift Shop" like two weeks ago. It's not usually my kind of music, but I think it's genius. And the video is straight up hysterical. that said, I probably won't check out anything else he's done because I don't want to be disappointed....

I'll be 39 in May. I've been a paramedic since I was 20. I'm so over it it's not even funny. So I just started my first semester as an electrical engineering major.
