i originally wrote this on MYSPACE!, probably in 2006 or '08 or so...it’s still me. all of it.so what can i add to it? or take away?good question... i’ll think about that, but most of it is stuff that i’ve loved all of my life- and i loved it all when i wrote this back in the mid 2000’s, or whenever blogging on Myspace was a thing...
it was a good time of my life, and this timeless treasure trove of cultural memories comes around again and again in my life, and makes me very happy!
