Celebrate the life of B.J. Thomas

~Raindrops keep fallin' on my head~

~But that doesn't mean my eyes will soon be turnin' red~

~Crying's not for me~

~Cause I'm never gonna stop the rain by complainin'~

~Because I'm free~

~Nothing's worryin' me~

~It won't be long 'til happiness steps up to greet me~

This is the desk of Albert Einstein the day he died on April 18th, 1955. Science has found a link between clutter and extremely high IQ. If your workspace is messy and cluttered, you’re not a slob...you’re most likely a genius! You’re welcome. (read on facebook)
