How stuck I still am
I understand why you had to go on
Without me

What is your life like now
I don’t want to wonder, I don’t want to know
I can’t

Hello World

After almost 10 years of existence, I finally decided to turn this site into a blog.

My Declaration of Principles

  1. I will provide the people of this interwebz with a sporadic blog that will tell some of the news somewhat honestly.
  2. I will also provide them with a loving and lethargic champion of their rights as citizens and as human beings.
  3. I will also provide lolcats.

Signed,
