[darwingate]

not on time, but here eventually.

please remember that these are all my opinions. feel free to disagree & not tell me about it...because chances are good that i don't really care. if you don't know why i've chosen something for my list & you wish to better understand my thought process, please feel free to ask. knowing is half the battle...or something.

these are ranked in NO order.
