Blog DescriptionAttempting to provide a different perspective on the things that we have come to accept and believe but this time around with a much mellower tone.

The mindset that produces this type of thought process is... Sign in to see full entry.Thursday, April 3, 2008This blog hit 26,000 views todayAnd Xeno-x was viewer number 26,000. What does this mean in the grand scheme of things?... well, sweet diddly is probably the most accurate answer.
