Man, am I sure glad that this is the last day of 2009. I'm ending the year, it seems, on a bad note. We're supposed to go to Folsom tonight for a party on the hill, but I don't want to go.

If anyone has a problem with anything I say or do or am, I'd like to know. Seriously, I would. Because I think I'm a pretty good and decent person and I believe I can listen to people honestly and without prejudice. I like to be aware of problems, I like to fix things like that. And if I don't know about it, how am I going to fix it ( Read more... )
