Some of you seem to be rather into creative writing, judging from the many such posts, Anaconda’s being the latest.

Rarely have I had a moment like this to do something creative like write this blog.
Let me give you a little rundown on my life of late. Two weeks ago started the weeks of sickness beginning [...]
I find North Korea totally fascinating. Who knew they had a website, for instance? Check out their mp3 download section, with top hits from the North!
