About Me



I guess you just have to ignore the nonsense shown above this for right now if you're viewing with IE. I tried playing with the tags for a little while but Internet Explorer interprets it strangely, and it's just not that important to me right now.

I happen to think that, for the most part, Internet Explorer is computer AIDS, so I don't use it myself.
Firefox shows everything just fine... (wink, wink, nudge, nudge)
Go to GetFirefox.com and make the internet a better place.

The above link was stolen from the site, thehungersite.com.
If you click it, and that's all, then you've provided someone with 1.1 cups of food. If you didn't click it... well just click the thing you greedy bastard.
