I surf a lot. I don't tell people about this, but I do a lot of thinking with the assistance of the web. As I drift from though to thought I open new pages. I have hundreds of pages bookmarked and filed by respective subject and subcategories. I have nine windows open right now and I'm constantly flip between them. (Brain is fragmented)...

Well... Spain... was dope!!! Oh my God!!! The weather was amazing, sunshine, flowers.... beaches, yeah! I met a girl from Quebec, my plans changed and I ended up staying in Spain a week and a half longer than expected. We went further south to a place called Alicante. It was short but nice.
