    This is a poorly executed attempt to repackage llame articles and get clicks. So dead grass, boozy hot chocolate and selfies? Really?!?

    You are a complete baffoon! Go hug a tree. Go some your weed and then get a job.

    This is by far the dumbest article I ever read. Get a love for dead grass? Really? This must have been written by a 25 year old who thinks life should be free!

      As a lover of dead grass, I think you really need to open up your spirit and your mind to the goddesses that govern cyclical nature of life.
