8. June 2008
I know some fears are straight out irrational, and I myself have not had any issues with large crowds except perhaps breathing in germs and feelings of disgust, but now, after many years of day dreaming to become a J-pop sensation- I think I’ll put that one on hold. I know things like the following [...]

I’m always looking for decent things to write about on AG and I do admit I’ve been in a slump. Nothing has grabbed my attention lately. Nothing is of interest (at least nothing I can try out because my graphic card SUCKS) and I’m broke and I live in the bowels of hell… and I’m a naysayer. [...]
