Some Top Shit of 2006

Quick 'A Bit Bitter' Update:

- The Englishman emailed me and apologized... He's just really-really young... very-very naive... he means well... but he has A LOT to learn... I'm not going to email him back... He can needs to go his merry way and figure shit out.
- 4 Hours: he did MySpace message me back... said a, "it was fun... that's what friends are for" kinda' thing. I was pleased. I have no intention of emailing back.
- Ultimately, the boyz have been wrapped up... starting fresh in 2007
