I am here for Friends

About Me

Eh? What is there to say? Lately, I'm bitter and growing ever more bitter as the days pass. I hate home renovations. I hate most people. It has been my experience that society, as a whole, is filled with a bunch of jackasses who tend to disappoint. You should consider yourself lucky if you have a handful of people who consistently treat you well. I compost and have a clothesline. Does that make me a hippie?

blog 29-----Madonna

I really, truly, with all my heart, hate Madonna. I hate her music. In my opinion she hasn't made a decent album since Like a Prayer. I hate her "new disco" sound. I hate how she jumps on any pop...
