I'm just going to lay it out there, out in the open, just so you all know, I miss B3th's friendly words today, oh gee oh gosh, she's so swell.
I got a new album just now, something called "Bad meets evil", I think it's got a lot of eminem in. I never like albums when I first hear them but then I start to enjoy them after forcing myself. A bit like a poo in that respect.

I'm quite excited by this: online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304520804576347810004917234.html , in fact, more than a little excited.

No question, just talk.
