    Blogosphere: The "blogosphere" is the new buzz word that has replaced "information super highway." It's what idiots like to call a collection of "blogs," otherwise known as a tragedy.

      Actually, if you were to facilitate raping, pillaging, murder, and plunder on the high seas, probably a lot worse would happen to you.

    What is written above is just a short story of everything that went on during last year. I also do not want to give out too much information, since it wouldn't be wise.

    I always like that part. I'm not sure what people are hoping for:
