i have decided that the money i spent on this domain name and server space would probably have been more effectively utilized by a three year old in a liquor store. i am slowly drawing the conclusion that there may simply be no i in blog. this is usually the point where, rather than throw in the towel, i blame my keyboard for stifling my creativity and thereby justify the purchase of a brand new laptop with all the same general functionality as the current one but with a brushed titanium body and a better webcam. did i mention that i hate the word blog?
