As many of you know, I had the chance to visit two friends of mine who live in Lake Charles, Louisiana. My work (and the bus) schedule only allowed me two days to be there.

That and the line from the song in Avenue Q that goes "it sucks to be me". I guess it really doesn't suck all that much to be me. That's just the way I've felt the past few days because ( Read more... )
