My name is Joe. I’m a sophomore at the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities. This blog is forever changing and evolving, as things should. But mostly, it’s just stuff that I find interesting. I’d like to think some of it is pretty deep and/or profound. A lot of it may or may not be me bitching about random things. This blog definitely has gay/bi/queer tendencies.Tumblr (3.0; @shinypapercrowns)http://shinypapercrowns.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b45f317b0f7bf185b4e7befece8a0f99/tumblr_mmw57rBFua1ql2603o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://shinypapercrowns.tumblr.com/post/50854123872http://shinypapercrowns.tumblr.com/post/50854123872Sun, 19 May 2013 16:46:56 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d57ba35c585cb76bba62599df3f89f57/tumblr_merxqxzbfl1qc2fi0o1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/2606709454273d57da20427fe8d950e8/tumblr_merxqxzbfl1qc2fi0o2_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/79092143e5866d40e36506d425eef499/tumblr_merxqxzbfl1qc2fi0o3_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/2d82a6a54afdf93a227d1a38cfd8cd3e/tumblr_merxqxzbfl1qc2fi0o4_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7a7b9d6020f81621ed13903bf4c296a6/tumblr_merxqxzbfl1qc2fi0o5_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://mishasminions.tumblr.com/post/37565180289" target="_blank">mishasminions</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>DON’T ASK STUPID QUESTIONS, DEAN</p> </blockquote>http://shinypapercrowns.tumblr.com/post/50851904340http://shinypapercrowns.tumblr.com/post/50851904340Sun, 19 May 2013 16:19:43 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/8fe6fa3743231f112bc7339bccfec4fc/tumblr_mla6azpMQh1r7guzvo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><blockquote> <div> <div> <p><strong><a href="http://foodluxury.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Love Food?

He was always a kid who went to the beat of his own drummer. When he was 5, we began making photographs collaboratively as a way to find some common ground and attempt to understand each other.
