Some thoughts that drift through my mind as I sit on the bus on the way to town.<\/p>\n

Lumps<\/span>
\nReportedly, a recent opinion poll suggests that voters feel cheated by the government. They feel that the outgoing FF ministers didn’t tell them the truth during the election. To those people I have a question- do you wander the streets with a look of astonishment that life isn’t like ads? How do you travel through the day when your brain is kept in a box on the top of the wardrobe?
\nI will restore myself to my usual sympathetic self by the New Year. In the meantime, lump it.

\nAmateur Hour<\/span>

Even from my own hobbiest point of view, I was asking myself what kind of things are and aren’t ethical. I think the main thing is to just remain honestly enthused by the matters that interest me. My model here remains Fustar.<\/a><\/p>\n
