My throat is killing me right now!!!


    Wow! Curious to know where that truly profound quote at the top of the page came from? So am I! O.K., in reality, the story behind it is incredibly mundane and anticlimactic. The truth? I was up very incredibly late putting some last minute touch-ups on my web-page, and I suddenly felt something get caught in my throat. I could not cough, however, because my roommate, one Mr. Brian Tate, was off in la la land like any sane individual should be at 3 in the A.M. I sat there thinking to myself, "Must.. think of great.... quote before.. death ends my all too fragile life in this most...mundane and anticlimactic..way. Well, guess what inspiration comes to you when tears are coming out of your eyes because you have stupidly sat there while the pain grows because you refuse to cough and yet refuse to run out of the room to throw yourself gasping and crawling for the nearest water fountain. Yep. I actually typed that out. And in the most sardonic sense of all that is written above comes the first quote.

how noble in reason!
