i like bluegrass. i like van halen (i’m more of a commercial fan though, i like the songs i hear on the radio, i didn’t buy all the albums).

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

i told myself i’m not going to let these “are you serious” gems slip away. be warned, they may amuse me, and only me, but they actually happened and someday i’ll record them in book form.
