    I've got a .net company that hasn't gone out of business. And failure or not I will not go back to school. Freaking University of Missouri St. Louis SUCKS!!!!!!

    I can't understand 90% of the professors because of their heavy accents.

    I don't want to sound racist because I'm not but if I can't understand what the heck they're saying they shouldn't be teaching.

    School isn't for everyone.

    he pledged last week actually. it's really weird that a guy who used to be worth millions (literally) is now studying for his EE degree along with a bunch of other poor 19-22 year olds. it really gives you a perspective on life.

    oh, and in case you were wondering he is about 6'2 180 with a perfect swimmers body. his cock is about 7.5" and maybe 4" around, the perfect size and it feels great. he's a bottom and he loves to suck and get fucked in the ass and also to eat out other guys ass.

    i don't know about you guys, but I for one couldn't be happier about the dot com bust *g*! it's been a dot CUM bust for me all over this pretty young boys face! *lol*

      Oddly enough, two years ago I was in the valley making a good living fucking dot-com CEOs in the ass for stock options. Perhaps I met your friend then.

    Those CEO's were fascists too. I could swear some had middle names like Augusto and Benito.
    Oh well they're off back to Berkeley to hang with future Pol Pots.
