AAAAAAHHHH!
Don’t call your ex-girlfriend when you’re drunk…..and don’t write on your blog when you’re angry!
I’ve already covered this topic ad nausem, and at the risk of offending smokers, I suggest you skip this post.

Do you ever get flashbacks to time and places while listening to a certain song?
I have that happen all the time. Whenever I hear anything by Pearl Jam I think of my time in Japan; likewise with Offspring I recall my descent from base camp at Mount Everest.

Here I am in Belgrade, Serbia!
I`m so tired and weary from my treacherous travels.
Perhaps a massage will cure what ails me!
