Ether way its a place for me to just throw up, out and on everything that I have been holding back on.
Yes, we have sponsors for this crap. Hard to believe that anyone would sponsor my thoughts, however I have loads of them down the side of the page as you will see. Hey do me a favor will you buy something from one of those Great MF’ers hell if they agreed to sponsor my BS prior to reading it, who am I to not push them off on you.
